What’s one thing about going off-grid that turned out way harder (or easier) than you expected?

Ive been deep in the planning stage for a while now and keep hearing the same advice online, but I’d rather hear from people actually living it.

What’s something that surprised you once you were actually out there good or bad? Could be power, water, weather, maintenance, isolation, costs, wildlife, neighbors… anything.

Trying to get a more realistic picture before I commit further. Appreciate any honest takes.

Thinking about angling my website to include off grid living/camping/home rennovations set up- rather than purely ‘prepared for emergencies’ vibe. What do you think needs to change to hit this different note?
