English term or phrase: off-the-grid
My parents were ski bums who had to strap on skis just to get in and out of their off-the-grid cabin, so it's not surprising that they started me on two planks as soon as I started walking.

Chinese translation:'进出于自给自足且(与世隔绝)/(人稀罕至)的小木屋'
Explanation:
The term "off-the-grid" refers to living or operating independently of the main utilities and services provided by the government or mainstream society. These days, "off the grid" often refers to being without internet access or not connected to the internet. This lifestyle often involves relying on alternative and self-sustaining systems and other methods of generating energy and resources independently. So it can be translated as '进出于自给自足且(与世隔绝)/(人稀罕至)的小木屋'

disagree  Yi Cao: OFF The GRID 就是用自己发电比如太阳能和风力,而不是用统一电网的电,但这并不等于与世隔绝 与世隔绝=HERMIT。 在市区,你也可以用太阳能和发电,所以OFFTHEGRID 不等于人迹罕至和与世隔绝

Explanation:
"grid" 一般是指 "power grid" 或 "electrical grid" (电力公司的供电网)。
"off-the-grid" 是指供电网之外的地方。

Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities. Off-the-grid living allows for buildings and people to be self-sufficient, which is advantageous in isolated locations where normal utilities cannot reach and is attractive to those who want to reduce environmental impact and cost of living. Generally, an off-grid building must be able to supply energy and potable water for itself, as well as manage food, waste and wastewater.
