The romantic notion of off-grid adventure is hugely appealing to so many of us. Escaping the often-overwhelming buzz of modern life for the simplicity and serenity of the backcountry trails is wonderfully restorative. The great outdoors has an intangible power to ground us, put us in the moment and allow us to get back to nature.
Nevertheless, there are few people among us who’d venture out into the wild completely untethered from civilisation. If “off-grid” is taken to its extreme, it means no electricity. No electricity equals no communication with our loved ones, no convenient light source, no digital navigation tools and no means of taking photographs.
