With solar and battery tech, self-sufficient electricity isn’t some impossible thing anymore. But getting clean water is the real trick. All my life I’ve just had to walk a few steps and turn a faucet. I took this for granted for so long until I actually looked into what it would realistically be like living off grid in the woods.
Sure you can collect rainwater, but what happens during a drought? You have iodine tablets? Where did you get them? I doubt you made them yourself in the woods lol. You’d have to live next to some freshwater stream or luck out with some kind of artesian well on the property.
Sure food could be an issue too, but you die from thirst long before you die of starvation. Idk but I guess I’m at the point of appreciating tap water lol.
Clean water really.
