Anyone Actually Tried Living Off-Grid for a Month?

Curious if anyone here has actually tried full off-grid living for a solid month—no grid power, no running water, fully DIY. What was the hardest part to adapt to? I'm looking for real experiences, not just theory.
 
Did it last summer—full month, just to see if I could. Biggest shock was how much time I spent hauling and filtering water. The days kinda revolve around basic needs, no matter how well you prep. Solar was fine for basics, but cloudy days made me wish I had a bigger battery bank. Have you thought about how you'll keep things sanitized without constant running water?
