I watched a YouTube video about a couple who were giving up their off grid "sustainable" farm. Turns out they felt tied down and weren't able to travel, see friends, etc.
Agree that off grid is too ambitious for most, but being as prepared as possible is still smart. After Alberta's near blackout during a cold snap, I'd be investing in a woodstove at least.
Excellent post and spot on. I just saw Shawn James of My Self Reliance interview on Canadian Prepper on YouTube and they talked about a new law taking effect in April or thereabouts that will require municipalities in currently unzoned areas to hire third party inspectors. So they are worried that their off grid cabins in the woods will become verboten by the apparatchiks.
Wierd that for centuries we lived off grid and yet you portray it as against human nature among other things. Most bizarre article I've read in quite sometime. No thanks is my reply to the advice your giving.
Unfortunately I think you need to think beyond insulating yourself. It’s not enough against the current globalist tide .Gates is the biggest farmland owner in the US. Food industries are buying up farms to create manufactured farms. Gates intends to eventually genetically modify every seed so he can put a patent on them for profit. Original seeds will be banned or disappear from attrition. Making a real impact on a community level takes a considerable time commitment . What we need to recognize is that Globalists and billionaires are in control and attempting to modify the way we live all for their own Agendas. We are in a real existential battle that won’t be solved by living off the grid . The answer is to refuse, say no and to expose their Agendas as the pandemic unvaccinated were smart enough to do .
Very thoughtful post. Thank you.
John Michael Greer at ecosophia has many posts about this subject that you would love!

Excellent article. Homesteading is VERY tough. Most city folk have no idea.

We are just about out of peaceful options.
