[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1554444, member: 18945"] Long enough to grow a scruffy beard... I'veknown people that did live off the grid, but by that, I mean were not connected to the electric grid or to any municipal resources or utilities at all. Had their own electric power supply, so they could use all the comforts most of us have. If one considers propane to be accepted as still being 'off the grid' I can see where it wouldn't be all that difficult a life. Cook, heat, run a refrigerator with propane. You could also run an air conditioner with propane, but you would still have to have some way to move the air over the coils. Solar power would take care of running the air mover tho. For that matter, solar power could also heat the refrigerant enough to vaporize it.
