Off-Grid Living in a Small Cabin
Generally, the term "off the grid" or "off-grid living" refers to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance upon one or more public utilities.
Off-grid households are autonomous – they do not rely on municipal water supply, sewer, natural gas, electrical power grid, or similar utility services. A true "off the grid" cabin is able to provide life-necessary functions independently of all traditional public utility services.
All over the world, there are people producing their own electricity, water supply, and heating. They live in the middle of large cities, in the middle of a vast wilderness, and in all points in between.
Utilizing at least some off-grid living features at your small wilderness cabin can also add a few modern conveniences to small cabin life. The following off-grid cabin living experiences are covered in these sections:
