Maybe you fancy living another way than usual homes. Maybe in a tent, an igloo, on the streets, in a car, a truck, a jeep or a van, a mobile home. I've come across some who have a stable home, yet choose to live as a homeless person. Trust me, I've been homeless, selling my art on the streets, living the day-by-day life. It's hard, and I've overcome it, and currently I love my shared house (triplex) with my caretaker. I'm glad I'm off the streets and not in a mobile home. But some people do fancy offgrid living. Or maybe you're living in a ship, a yacht or on the road as a truck driver and eat on the road, sleeping whenever you can. It's a hard life, I can't imagine myself living that life personally at least anyways. How about you? Do you fancy offgrid lifestyle yourself?
 
There are also those who live offgrid in an actual house. It's powered by solar, wind. I would love to be off the grid. Not having to worry about electricity bills. Being able to be self-reliant. If SHTF, I'd still be alright.
Now, some who live offgrid don't have a lot of luxuries however there are those that still have the internet via a signal.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere where I didn't have access to running water & "electricity". It'd be too similar to roughing it in camping. That is okay for a week but not to live forever in for me.
 
I have this idea of living in a decent tree house. It may sound childish, but this is what I have been dreaming of since childhood. If I have the chance and opportunity, I would want to have it, perhaps in the future.
