What does "off the grid" actually mean — and is anyone ever truly disconnected? In this episode of the Jon Myer Podcast, JD, founder of CommandProm, breaks down what life is really like living off-grid on unzoned land in the Rocky Mountains of Montana.JD walks through how a school-bus RV "snowbirding" habit turned into a permanent, mortgage-free life off-grid: buying raw land on a whim, converting a one-room cabin into a full living space, and building a solar power system from scratch — all without giving up modern tech like Starlink internet, an Xbox, a 4K TV, or even AC.🚌 Off-grid didn't happen overnight — it started with weekend school-bus trips that grew into a full move. ⚡ Watts, not voltage, are what actually matter when sizing a solar system. 💰 Grid power quoted at $40K — solar ended up cheaper and more capable. 🔋 40,000 watts of battery storage covers overnight use, even in winter. 📡 Starlink + incoming fiber prove off-grid doesn't mean offline. 🛒 The real tradeoff is convenience — grocery runs are a half-day trip, not a quick errand. 🪓 Don't romanticize it — off-grid living is real work, so check local zoning first.YouTube Timeline (Chapters)
