>No one is truly living off the grid.
This has been my thought as well, but I gotta say... I do know of a place where the owner put in absolutely millions into an eco lodge and while a "prepper cabin" wasn't his goal, it really is a great example of how one could live in a degree of comfort off grid. Probably their biggest weakness is they rely a lot on their diesel generator. But, they do have some solar, they have a good greenhouse, access to hunting, a private airfield, access to a river for both fishing and water, in an area with mild(ish) winters... so guess I'm saying that if you've got absolutely wheelbarrows full of cash, it can be done... but that's not the case with the vast majority of prepper types I've seen.

Sounds great, I'll go round up the boys and it'll be ours by sundown. I think a lot of the "it can be done" commenters didn't read to the end: it can be done when you're the only one doing it. Not so much when 8 billion people are doing it. See also: roving gangs from any Fallout game.
