For those of you already living off the grid, you may be experiencing the first kind of pleasant daydream.

No matter what your fears for our society ... no matter what your fears for our material world infrastructure … no matter what your fears about your true ability to take care of all your material needs in a crisis … there really is action you can take now to care for the basic material needs of yourself and your family.  And who knows?  In the end, with enough people doing this same thing, our institutionalized services of water distribution, electricity generation and supply, food production and distribution channels – still working on processes and systems created “back when the dinosaurs were alive”, may finally get their act together and realize that the infrastructures they created so long ago don’t really work well anymore in our societies.
