Leaving Off Grid

Leaving off-grid is rarely about failure. It usually begins long before anything breaks, when the weight of maintaining everything yourself starts to register in quieter ways.

This site exists to name that experience. Not the logistics of leaving. Not the mechanics of returning to the grid. Just the internal shift that happens when staying no longer feels neutral.

People who reach this point aren’t looking for instructions. They already understand their systems. What they’re noticing instead is how much attention, energy, and margin those systems continue to require.

From the outside, nothing may look different. Power still works. Water still flows. Routines continue. But inside, staying has become something that must be actively carried rather than simply lived.

Leaving Off-Grid doesn’t argue for or against any choice. It doesn’t frame one path as smarter or easier. It simply holds the space where the question appears and stays.

If these pages feel familiar, that recognition is the point. This site exists to reflect a moment many people reach quietly, without knowing how to talk about it.
