Whenever I moved out to the woods to try and live off the grid, I knew for a fact that I would not be able to make it without air conditioning.
I love my air conditioning during the summer, and the weather around here gets so hot that there is just no way that I could live without it.
I mean, I’m tough, but I’m not that tough! I am really not ashamed to admit the fact that I just cannot live without central air conditioning. It’s just one of those things that I think that I need in order to survive comfortably. I hate being too hot and when you are living off the grid away from everyone, you really have to allow yourself a certain amount of creature comforts in order to be able to stay out in the middle of nowhere. That is what I have figured out over the years, anyway. You can’t just go out there and act all willy nilly and never give yourself a break on anything. I mean, I don’t have access to online ordering or the library or even a liquor store, so I feel like I owe myself some air conditioning in my house, at least! That’s just the way I feel about it. I was so happy when I realized that I could run the air conditioning system with solar power out here. It was a real game changer for me! At this point, I am starting to feel like I might be able to stay out here for the rest of my life and be happy with that!
