RE: What is your 'off grid' score?
Yup, there were a number of items that I was not able to claim, clothing being one of them. I look forward to the day where I can make my own cloths, but I struggle with the time to get it all done. I feel I've reached the maximum of what I can do and now need the community to manifest so that we can do things for each other. I just don't have the skills to do EVERYTHING. My learning curve has been like a rocket over the past 15 years. If I grew up with all this experience it may be easier. But to go from zero to hero in 15 years, I'm just not sure anybody could do that. It would require completely walking away from everything and focusing 100% of my energy and efforts towards the basics and letting go of everything else. My interactions with people are too important for me to make that level of sacrifice.
So true brother - i believe we shouldn't need to sacrifice our relationships with others in our search for freedom - that would be a loss on both sides - even if we don't see "eye to eye" we are stronger together and we can inspire others to question their servitude - @minismallholding we are happy to support our local community giving freely our excess produce to the neighbours, in return they are happy to bring food waste and scraps which we can feed back to the chooks. its baby steps - but it is growing, we now have 6 neighbours that get eggs and one of the neighbours is happy to pay $5 per doz...
