Nowadays, many people are turning to survivalism and off-grid living. And for a good reason! From a global perspective, the array of crises we've had to endure, coupled with uncertainty about the future and a lack of prospects, are pushing more and more folks to return to some basics. In fact, who hasn't read about or seen families who decided to leave it all behind and start anew? Living minimally in wood cabins, collecting rainwater, recycling, growing fresh fruit and vegetables, and raising farm animals while relying on sustainable energy sources. How do they do it, and why? Fearing natural catastrophes or the dislocation of society and its disastrous consequences, it isn't hard to grasp why that kind of lifestyle would appeal to many progressive and well-reasoned individuals worldwide.
