"No hookups for water, gas, or electricity."
So if I take my house in the middle of a city, get water delivered in containers, install solar panels and use my fireplace for cooking, I am now "completely off the grid" ? How about if I just eat out every day? Am I still off the grid? Should I disconnect my landline and just use a mobile phone instead?
- shard 11y agoTo me, off the grid refers to not being connected to the electric grid, with the broader meaning of not being connected to any public utilities. So your scenario of a house in the city getting wafer from delivery, electricity from solar, and firewood for cooking would be in my opinion "off the grid".
