Real Off the Grid Living

After not being able to afford the gas bill we got our natural gas shut off. Now comes the true test. Can we really live off the grid. After a few months we have learned it is not as easy as you would think. The wood stove comes in real handy and we use it to cook and warm up dish water. It is a job but it can be done. Nothing like throwing a meal on the stove and cooking it and I sure miss that gas stove. During the summer we rigged up a hose on the roof for hot water and that worked well. Not so great in the winter though. We have a camper and use propane gas for showers. Sure miss those hot baths. Life is not easy living off the grid!
