From your next door neighbor in Idaho, Welcome to Steemit! 

The offgrid life is challenging but very rewarding. I haven't cut the cord myself, but I have grown a massive garden, had goats, chickens, and 2 dogs. I think you seem very normal to me. 

How did your time in the military and becoming disabled change your view of life? I'm a Ron Paul fan, and I've heard him talk so many times about how there are plenty who serve, or have served, how think these wars are absolutely the wrong way to achieve peace with other countries. I would be curious to learn more about your experience and how it has changed your worldview. 

Maybe I just gave you some inspiration for another Steemit post! Good luck!
