HOW TO LEAVE SOCIETY AND GO OFF THE GRID?

ever asked yaself why society is set up this way

or why we have a system at all

i think unconventionally compared to the average human being. how i think is actually normal. societys structure has made the abnormal, normal. why do we use paper money as a form of sustaining? all of our needs on earth like food, water, etc, has already freely been provided by the creator.. we're the only species that make life hard. paying to live is an illusion. money is an illusion. it screws you up mentally and situationally if you arent ahead of this rat race. now i wanna leave the rat race.

chasing man made paper money keeps you trapped. the governmental set up wants that. but youll never see an elephant, for example, having going to work everyday in order to have his food or shelter. so why should i? im the same as any other animal. all im saying is that i wanna be free...

living in a remote area. somewhere in hawaii maybe. on a farm.

i wanna live in an ecofriendly environment. in more nature.

can you share some tips to live off the grid successfully? ive had loose ideas but nothing set in sto ne.

Update:

im a vegan

    No. There’s a load of programmes in TV following people who have done just that.

    It looks really hard work and anything but the easy option.

    Most of these seem to be in Alaska but as a vegan , you need somewhere warmer where you can grow food. Decent farm land is not cheap and setting up a home in a big field is not really allowed in most places.

    Plenty of people do this. All the people commenting below are not only failing to answer your question, but showing that they too are undereducated in certain ways. I suggest YouTubing building codes, eco-living, and other related ideas for you to get a feel of what you would have to do. Ultimately, your first step would require you to make enough money to buy land, and you’re going to want to do so somewhere with little to no building codes such as rural parts of the southeastern US. Hawaii would be awesome but too many restrictions.

    This Tom guy (friend of David Goldberg) claims that gov't will extract adrenochrome from truthers under Project Zyphr.

    Gov't identified the truthers under Project Pogo.

    Project Pogo was to gather info on dissidents when they commented/watched videos of Alex Jones / QAnon / Adam Green / etc

    Drone with scopolamine will drill a hole in your window; once gassed you will come out to them yourselves. This is done @4 AM during the night (also electricity was turned off for your block / region )

    This Tom guy begged people to leave to South America 'cuz of CONTROL GRID...

    I think it's better to hide in the woods of Alaska. What do you think?

    The remaining people will be chipped when they sign up for food

    Hell... even saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov said that Americans will receive mark of the beast because everything is like on your palm (you can't hide anywhere from the CONTROL GRID)... So, I was told to tell you this so that I won't be punished by God. Sorry, if the warning came out wrong

    Police will stop you at checkpoints to see if you're chipped (aka vaccinated)

    Chipped will be influenced (by super computers) ..to receive World Passport (grey plastic card with no name on it)... but when they stretch their hands to get it …gov't clerk will press secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays..

    This Tom guy and saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov both said that once you hide: no documents / no electronics / etc. so that nothing holds you back and you won’t go back into the city ‘cuz police will stop to chip you if you decide to go back. You have to live off grid; it’s tough but it’s the only way; forgive me.

    Source(s): Antichrist will also release prisoners/insane asylum people to mark everyone. Police will mark people on highways. Food stores will mark people who steal marked food because in order to swallow marked food one has to have triple stranded DNA. Mark changes your DNA from two strands to three strands so that you can't die and demons will live inside you forever (or so they think). Angel will cut marked people's heads clean off at the end of Apocalypse. If you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors will go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov); forgive me.

    I wouldn't describe your thinking as "unconventional."

    I would describe it as "ignorant."

    By which I mean, the belief that living in a structured society is "abnormal" is ignorant of human history.  Humans are social animals - it's one of our defining characteristics.  Living entirely on your own is so unrealistic that you can't even imagine it without invoking things that wouldn't exist without human society.

    How would you get to Hawaii independently?  How would you even know about Hawaii without having been educated by your society?  Even the concept of a "farm" wouldn't exist.

    Living in an eco-friendly way is certainly possible.  As is living without being hooked up to the power and communication grids.  But only by learning from other humans who figured out how, and using tools and materials other humans made available too you.

    Living off the grid is harder than it seems to those who have not done it.

    First things first, all the land on the entire planet belongs to someone or some entity (a corporation, a government, etc.). Squatters are not welcome, even if they have no ecological, visual, or other impact. You can't just pick a remote place and live there.

    Second, growing or gathering the food you need to live as a vegan is not easy. Have you ever farmed? Gardened and lived only on what you grow? Plenty of bugs and critters will fight you for every bite.

    In fact, for anyone contemplating this, I urge you to move to a place that's warm enough to grow crops year-round (Florida, southern New Mexico, Arizona, California, or Texas) and plant a sustenance garden. Six weeks in, don't buy food, living entirely on what you grow.

    Other problems you can anticipate but not easily solve are building a shelter that's impervious to whatever the weather brings using only the materials at hand, preserving food, getting clean water, and the usual pests of people living rough: rats, mice, fleas, lice, and ants.

    I have a relative who lived in what amounted to a floored hut in Costa Rica while she brought fresh water to a village that had one well, as the leader of a Peace Corps project. She, too, thought off-the-grid would be an eco-challenge and do-able. She was really miserable, though, usually too hot or too cold, often wet, insects in her food, rats in her home, not enough clean water for a proper bath, books molding from the humidity. She couldn't wait to finish and go home.

    There are more people like you than you think. It takes money or an ongoing income to live anywhere in today's society.

    So, you want food? How do you get it?

    Grow it? You need to own land. Land has property taxes. You need land with water and enough space for sewer on property. Money is only an accounting and barter medium.

    What farm would accept you? I thought all major farms are now commercial.

    You are dreaming, undereducated, and too idealistic.

    Living without medical access generally means on average you die faster.
