Working for the man is a bit of pain the ass. I want to minimize my expenses and freelance when I want to.

I kind of just did this. Bought an rv in 2013. Just moved into it for the summer while I'm traveling. It has a very powerful generator - I could power a large party all night if I wanted. I can hook up my flash dryer screen printing (has an outdoor outlet). I've got a shower, heat, air conditioning, full kitchen including a confection oven. It actually sleeps 7 people (one queen bed, one full bed, one full sized bunk and one single bed) but right now is just me and my boyfriend. My workspace is more comfortable than what I had at home.

If I could set something up where my off the grid living starts and stops as simply as flipping a switch, that would be ideal.
I show up... I flip the switch... I wait a about an hour. Presto change I have a running infrastructure that is off the grid that I can shut down when I want to return to civilization.
The thing about off the grid living is that people make it synonymous with leaving society. Why does it have to be that way? Why can't I be off the grid and still want to participate? I would much rather look to living off the grid as a means of self-sustainance as opposed to economic otherness.
