Off-Grid Living: The Reality After the Honeymoon Ends

Off-grid or homestead living doesn’t magically remove responsibility, cost, or complexity. You just trade one set of systems for another. In this video, we share the off-grid truths no one tells you — the things we only learned by actually doing it, not dreaming about it. After years of talking about self-sufficiency and eventually making the leap ourselves, Kirsty and I have learned that off-grid life doesn’t make things easier — it makes them more intentional. We talk honestly about energy dependence, food security, the hidden supply chains behind “self-sufficiency,” the psychological shock of re-entering on-grid spaces, and the reality of relationships and community when you step outside the mainstream. This isn’t a how-to guide or a tech breakdown. It’s a grounded, real-world look at what off-grid living actually demands — and why, despite the challenges, it can be one of the most rewarding ways to live. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could really do this, or what you might be underestimating before making the jump, this video is for you.
