How do I Go Off the Identity Grid?

Some people want to live off the grid simply to protect their privacy, while others find themselves needing to know how as a necessity. An off-the-grid lifestyle means knowing how to cultivate resources and abandoning traditional methods that leave a paper trail.
  1. Money and Employment

    • Use cash rather than credit. People going off-the-grid should find an employer willing to pay them "under the table" in cash without reporting earnings to the IRS.

    Property and Furnishings

    • Purchase a remote property and furnish it with what you need to be comfortable. Getting electricity without subscribing to a electric company could include using solar panels, battery power, a standby generator, propane power or wind turbines. You can get water by installing a well or rainwater harvesting system with a tank with a few refills from bulk water suppliers. For sewage, you can install a septic tank and contract with a pumping service. Learn gardening skills to grow food.

    Communication and Disinformation

    • Off-the-grid people can communicate securely with prepaid cell phones and using Internet cafes. Creating a misleading trail of disinformation keeps pursuers away and requires spending lots of money to track you.
