Off-Grid Living in a Small Cabin

Off-grid households are autonomous – they not rely on municipal water supply, sewer, natural gas, electrical power grid or similar utility services. A true "off the grid" cabin is able to provide life-nessesary functions completely independently of all traditional public utility services.
