Just talking about this yesterday . . . I freely admit I could not live off grid for an extended period of time, and my idea of camping is a 5 star with room service. HOWEVER I am diligently trying to learn to grow food! These are my garlic scapes LOL I am proud of them! (just trimmed them back). And I have Meyer lemons, fennel and butternut squash coming up . . . been shopping for a shed to create a small greenhouse in my yard . . . between sun and wind and dog, the plants need their sacred space! 
I do have a solar generator with panels, and it came in handy recently, not for me but for neighbors who were without power for a week after a freak storm that spared my neighborhood . . . 

Only if there's a Zombie Apocalypse and I'm not sure I could do it even then. Seriously, I like modern conveniences like indoor plumbing and toilet paper, AC, refrigerator, etc. 

That thought has never crossed my mind even for a milli-second, Andrew. I like my modern conveniences.

I believe I could if I wanted to Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573 . It has a very strong appeal to me.

If we must live like that, please keep your guest bedroom available for us and be ready to train us to properly work in your garden. And, I hope you know how to make wine and beer.

I would consider it an undue hardship.

I am 100% confident that I could. 

I am certain that I have no desire to do that. 

I've seen too many Episodes of  Life Below Zero and Homestead Rescue to even consider that. I am very grateful for my life.

When the economy collapses, and survival is paramount, my family is ready.

We're not going fully off-grid, but do have plans for when we build our next place to have plenty of solar panels and storage batteries and be as much off the electrical grid as possible.  No city water there, so well for water.
Not a lot of flat space on the mountain ridge, but hopefully enough for a greenhouse and some raised bed/container gardening.  We'll have our beehives and Liz has talked about having chickens.

Totally Zombie Apocalypse ready?  Not totally unless we went vegan, but not too bad.

I "sort of" did. No electric lines, no phone lines, no natural gas. I had solar, propane refrigerator and stove, wood heat, wood stove, satellite, well, septic. Had chickens, goats, dogs, horses, and cattle. Huge garden.

Dirt road 7 miles over two creeks. Drive to grocery store 30 minutes. So 'kinda off grid.

Things took lots of extra time to execute.

Sold to builder.

I would do it again IF I could find a place with a pure reliable water source 

I've lived off the credit grid for a few years & it was easier than I thought. You become invisible paying cash.

No I do not want to go off the beaten path in a cabin in Montana or up by you. I do not want to catch my own food either.

Camping for me is a form of torture.

Got one foot in the off the grid now and the other foot on a slow stand-by. 

Well, I lived in a car for a few months when I was 17, and I used to camp, hunt and fish a lot. So I know I could make it work, but I also know how cold and hungry I was in the winter months.
I have no desire to live off the land any more than a fun week of camping these days, I've worked very, very hard mentally, physically and entrepreneurially to arrive at this station in life; I plan to celebrate my tenacity and keep going with this trajectory at this point in life. 

If I had someone who could handle the growing of the food and the slaughtering and butchering of the meat, then it's possible (so long as I have internet).

I very much so want to get off of the electric grid as it is.  Water, gas and sewer are not an option here for going off grid.

I would not mind that view each morning or that being my property... except the taxes I'm sure would be insane.

Not even a thought! First thing in the morning I flip the switch to make coffee. After my first cup I am near human, turn on the lights, and fire up the computer to get on the Rain. Off the grid? No way!

My husband and i have had "the discussion" more than once and we think we could go completely off grid if we had too.  However, in the meantime, we are what some would call "preppers" .. so I guess you could say we are heading in that direction.  Especially as we see the world continue to change before our very eyes.  I grew up doing alot of camping, hiking, and spending long time intervals between the campground and going back home once a month to regroup (do laundry, replenish supplies, etc.)  I loved it.  However at my age now it would be more challenging. But I can do all things through Christ who gives me strenth.  Just sayin' 😇 Very interesting Question today Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573  ps: I've never been to Maine!

I don't know, maybe and yes are the answers to your questions. This I know, it's much more laborious and mentally challenging than we expect

If I had to live off the "fat of the land," I would go hungry.  On the positive side, I would loose this 20 lbs. I need to shed. 

I did for 10 days in the Chianti Wine Country in  San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy. I was with a group and we had all the Chianti Wine we wanted at every meal and meals came straight from the gardens where they planted their own food. I didn't have to work in the gardens or the vineyards, or clean the house, and they had Vespas to drive if we wanted to. I could definitely live there forever without getting my hands dirty! 

Also, I lived off the grid in Denmark, Maine from the last Friday in June until Labor Day for five years and that was off the grid without electricity. Wearing no make-up or having a hair dryer was the hardest part, oh and walking into trees at night without a flashlight and fresh batteries knocked some sense out of me more than once.

I love growing my own food, and I have memories of how my parents were doing this. I have a little garden box now,  but would love to make grow more food items. It's so nice to walk in the garden and pick oranges, lemons, tomatoes, peppers.

I totally love tending garden, have a generator, adore camping and am learning what I can about raising chickens! I'm not sure how long I could live off the grid but, I think I could do it for at least a few months if I didn't have a business to run!

I have no desire to live off grid. So you count me as a NO Andrew!  If I had to I'd make the best of it.

When I was young this was my dream, and sometimes my reality.

As I age I have learned to appreciate a few modern luxuries, like internet.

My brother and his family live like that on the Canadian prairies -  it is getting harder as they age.  They have only one row of firewood left this year and many many more weeks of bitter cold. This is after storing almost twice what they'd normally use as their temps have been 50 below for most of the winter and winds ferocious.   Their water lines have frozen several times this winter and they're at the end of their stored harvest of potatoes, beets, carrots and apples as the weather was not conducive to a bountiful crop.  They use both solar and wind generated power.  My sister bakes her bread each Monday and even her own cheese and butter.  She preserves anything that can be preserved.  They barter with neighbours for meat etc.

I used to visit them when I was younger but you couldn't pay me to do so now.  I find it a hardship rather than an admirable way of life in this century.  Not for me, no sir.

We do!  Bought 7.5 acres of land and built a couple of homes here 32 years ago.  No public power or water to site... still.  We actually physically installed the underground phone lines for the neighborhood.  Now we are so embedded we don't want to ever leave!  Haha.  It requires a lot of hands on work and a willingness to adjust your lifestyle somewhat, but so worth it.  Completely attainable in this location (north shore Maui), with lots of sunshine and rainfall.  I recommend it.

Off the grid doesn't mean suffering or sacrifice.  With lots of money you can have all the power you need.  There are many luxury homes here on Maui that are off the grid, with the exception of internet of course because nobody wants to suffer that much!

We have electric appliances, washer/dryer, dishwasher, propane stove, free water (rainfall), and solar power with batteries.  We have fiber optics.  We have gardens, fruit trees, chickens and livestock.  Hawaii makes it possible, but I don't think every location lends itself to this lifestyle.
