Hard to live off the grid in a major metropolitan area. But my brother lives on a farm near Winchester, VA and gets his water from a well, has a septic, grows his own vegetables, eggs from chickens, milk from goats, etc., electricity from solar and wind. Fortunately, he has a job that allows him to work remotely from home.
Would you ever try skydiving?
No. My thoughts on "Secret" Societies are that if you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide and should be open and transparent.
If you won the lottery and if you could (many states in the U.S. require you reveal your identity), would you keep your winning secret from everyone outside your immediate family (I'm assuming you would want to help fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters. Not so sure about the extend family, you'd probably here from cousins, nephews, nieces, etc., etc. you had never heard of!)
