    I hate how people talk about off grid living as something you can pull off alone, that’s difficult even if you allow for buying food and installing all kinds of fancy infrastructure in your home.

    The truth is that properly sustainable and reliable off-grid living requires a small community, because you need a lot of labour.

      That should be the key takeaway. Prepping or off-grid that isn’t at the community level is at best one step away from disaster.

      We should learn from Lemmy, federated community is the way.
