The only reason I am desperately trying to store electricity right now is to run the electrics on a diesel heater.
If I had land, which I am planning on getting, a couple of acres of woodland, I could build huts of wood, cook and keep warm all without electricity.
I am not allowed to cook and heat now with wood mostly due to restrictions of public places which would not be an issue with one's own land.
I do have income from an online business which I would want to login to collect every few weeks in order to pay for food and the general day to day stuff but eventually once I could grow my own crops (and accepting that could be years away to reach total self sufficiency) then I do not see the need for electricity.
In the meantime though I suppose that learning about how to grow stuff will make having internet very beneficial. I have a couple years experience volunteering at a place that grew and sold vegetables to the public but I am sure I have barely scratched the surface. I feel I know enough already though since I learned the whole process through a couple of seasons.

. If I did accept basic electrical use I would do it the DIY route like I am currently doing. Btw does wood always make you stink or can you get well contained fires that will limit the smell to almost nothing. I absolutely hate the smell of open fires and how it stinks your clothes for days so would definitely want to avoid that and want to keep electricity if there were not way to damp down the smell of wood burning to controllable levels. I think it can be not that bad as I grew up in a house with central heating powered by what is called a rayburn in the uk which is some big wood burner and do not recall stinking of smoke all the time.
