When it's oppressively cloudy, I use a small gasoline generator to power all
the stuff. It also will kick on a battery charger that'll top the batteries
off.

This winter I used a propane heater. I've come to realize liquid propane is
somewhat money inefficient compared to a wood stove. I'll have the wood stove
installed by next winter. I'll probably keep using the propane oven.

Leading up to me dropping out of society, I came to resent paying rent.. I
resented the thought of office power games having survival consequences for my
life. I didn't have to off-grid like I have.. There are power lines. It's just
such a great feeling to cut out monthly subscription costs from my life. The
serenity it brings is maximum. Mother gaia gives me my water and sol my
electrons.

I still do consulting work as it comes to me. Blissfully, I no longer feel
desperation and anxiety between contracts.

Don't get me wrong, it's great that you found a way to reduce the work stress
in your life! But... I genuinely cannot tell whether the guy posting on
Hacker News that he "dropped out of society" is being serious or tongue-in-
cheek.

If paying society's currency for all the solar panels and the batteries and
the gas and the generator and the refrigerator and the laptops and the deeded
property and all the other stuff that society created is dropping out of
society, I wonder what it is like to be a member of society.

It's a bit tongue-in-cheek but not totally inaccurate. I'm visiting the big
city for now which is why I'm on HN. You all are my people, so I like to check
in when I can ;)

I consider 'dropping out of society' to partially be a state of mind thing.
Currently, when I'm 'in country', I am very disconnected from the world at
large. I have to drive for 30 minutes in order to receive text messages or
phone calls. In order to get internet, I have to drive an hour to the lake so
I can get some LTE. I don't have a TV, and I don't listen to the radio.
