Living off grid has become more and more popular and possible for individuals or families around the world in today’s age, but why do so many pursue it? The reasons for purposefully becoming off grid in your life can be varied, and sometimes it’s not purposeful but by chance. If you’ve ever considered a lifestyle like this or live it you may wonder or know some of the reasons why people like this concept. But whether you know some reasons or not, here are 5 reasons to live an off grid lifestyle that can give you some interesting perspective on this particular living choice.

What is Off Grid Living?

Off grid refers to the concept of not relying on companies and providers when it comes to electricity, water, and general needs. When you live off grid, you don’t have to pay for your water, sewer, electricity, and sometimes even more items. The idea is to be able to be self-sustained in your lifestyle without dependence on the grid. Now that you know some basics, why live this way?

Independence

The largest factor in choosing to pursue this lifestyle is independence. People value being able to have control in their life again and not have as high likelihood of power outages or loss from storms and accidents, or not have to overpay for their basic needs. Off grid living instills valuable independence that can feel incredibly freeing.

Learning Experience

Some people just live their lives in a way that allows for constant learning and growth to themselves or their family unit, and this life is exactly that. There are plenty of constant learning opportunities from how to best optimize their resources to learning expanded options like gardening, raising livestock, and more for added stability.

Environmentally Conscious

Chances are a large portion of those thinking about or living off grid are already concerned for the environment in some way or another. Whether that be veganism, low waste, minimalists, or some other variation of conscious living; off grid lifestyle tends to be the logical next step for some that feel strongly about the environment.

Secure Living

Many of us suffer from struggles economically that can really damage how well or poorly we are able to live. Especially in regions where higher paying jobs are less accessible, for families that have larger household sizes, disabled individuals, and more. Relying on your own resources can be more secure long term than on grid.

Escapism

Off grid living can be all of the things above and an escape from a stressful or busy life, bad situation, or any other struggle. It can also help individuals feel more spiritual or connected with others and themselves.

No matter what way you choose to or have to live, there are always some ways to make it easier and to get by or reasons to keep going down that path. For those of you out there debating or wondering about why off grid living may work for some folk, these reasons are just some of the bigger examples that can help you understand. Or it can be a great topic starter for you and your family unit to consider something like an off grid lifestyle in your future! Either way, hopefully this list of 5 reasons to live an off grid lifestyle was a good read for you all today.
