But you had time, money and knowledge of how to effectively live off grid. These people do not. That is why it was a smooth transition for you and a rough transition for them. They don’t have the advantages you do that enable you to live comfortably off grid. It’s a struggle for survival for them. For you it’s just a relaxing way of life.

It was no smooth transition for me..but not comparing to this. Relaxing? You have no idea..but again, just put that in as I have lived without electricity.. in our part of the country we have regular outages so even when we were on the grid, it was something we deal with regularly. Parts of our county were out of electricity for almost 2 weeks recently.

Hardly " hell on earth".

However it seems that the power grid in these places has been unreliable for many many years, and lack of electricity is not an unusual situation. So they have had time.
