2. Part (1): consideration and overcoming overpopulation

Before going fully off-grid, it is important to consider many things that might act as a barrier in the long run. Going off-grid doesn’t necessarily mean to acquire the full system to live efficiently. Going off-grid has different levels that can work for different kinds of people. To understand how the off-grid system works people can start with some personal adjustments that are derived from the off-grid system living techniques. So people have a better understanding and feel of the off-grid system requirements. This part addresses the different levels of off-grid living and the required adjustments to take before living off-grid to decide whether its enough to use the off-grid techniques or to go with the full off-grid system.
