Well this is my first post, and I think it's the right thread as I am passionate about this subject.
I'm not at all happy with with modern society and I am moving off-grid to live a simpler life. I have a wonderful lady friend that'll join me and I am always looking for people to join us.
Google Rishi Sowa, he has it made. Except I plan on have electricity with the use of solar panels and wind turbines. But to do what he has done, all you need is the will. Many people live off-grid and it is very appealing to me, hell there are even whole communities. No money, though some people in these communities trade with weed

, you sustain yourself, and no one is on your shit. Sounds very appealing to me. It is a lot of hard work though...
One of my favorite sites is abovetopsecret, read some politcal bs on there and see where the world maybe be going. All the more reason to follow your passions and dreams.
I have a whole bunch of resources on the subject if anyone is interested.
