Hunter, My name is Brian I have two children . Single father of 2 children 16 and 11 . Me and me kids have discussed this topic and prepared for living off the grid. We have build our wind turbines and 12 volt power systems. As well grow our own garden , can and preserve. I bow hunt and fish to help stock the freezer .However , the one concern is I earn a living off the internet. We do not watch T.V.. listen to lots of radio. Cut fire wood. Use rain barrels, barter, and build what I need when it is needed. I clean my own food. We raise our own chickens. Both for eggs, meat and compost. We have a green garden no pesticides.
Hope this helps you . Sincerely, Brian

Hi Paul good on you for finding a way to survive without having to rely on the grid. Hope you are doing ok. I am living in West Australia, In May building house in country off grid. Would be interested in your opinion for best battery type for storing solar power. Regards Jilly
