Does living a simpler life in the countryside away from the "real world" appeal to you? More and more individuals are going off the grid, providing their own power and food for themselves via self-sufficiency. Although making such a drastic change to one's way of living may seem impossible at first, doing so is the best way to find inner peace and contentment. For some, going off the grid is a means to escape the stresses of modern life, while for others, it's a method to simplify their existence or even to be ready for the worst.
