I'm starting small. Want to get off-grid the efficient way (lemmy.today)

I want only portable devices like solar, and hand-crank chargers. I want to be able to boil water, charge my Laptop and phone, run my induction stove for a few minutes thrice a day, want it rugerdized at some point, and want to depend on my equipment for day to day life as preparation for having no support.

How am I doing so far? Did I waste money?

Yes, I am planning to actively make use of a bugout kit every day at home. The idea is to be comfortable living with what would otherwise be an emergency situation, falling back on the grid only when necessary. I then want to make more of the exact same kits for my family, and then convince other people to do it too.

Yeah, that's definitely a camping/survivalist/prepping question and outside my expertise. I suspect it'll take you a long time to learn to be "comfortable" living that way, though 😆

Oh what the hell, I already lived like ass. What's a bit more in return for true freedom?
