I've been seriously investigating the "off the grid" lifestyle, but not out of fear and anxiety or worries about WWIII, but rather a desire for peace and quiet. Not to mention that after four divorces, I have no retirement $ or savings, so being a minimalist will come in handy.
Dick Proenneke had it dialed in, but I would prefer a little more comfort. I've studied solar power, cabin kits, appliances made for off the grid, etc. Would really like a boat-in place, maybe uplake at Chelan. No noisy neighbors, no traffic, nobody telling me I need to buckle my seat belt, nobody telling me to change my password every 60 days. Just a boat, a couple of rods, a few spoons and some trout giving me a battle once in a while, hell, I'd probably let most of them go anyway.
