Looking for examples of High-Context Living

Hi, I'm working on a page for the /c/writing worldbuilding resource wiki on "High Context Living" and I'm hoping some of you might have good examples/stories!

My working definition at the moment is "the sort of custom, DIY systems favored by offgrid homesteaders and people without other options, which trade user-facing complexity and unique quirks/challenges for significant efficiency and lower cost in parts and materials."

It's probably easier just to share the zine that named the concept (included below with permission of the creator (who wished to remain anonymous)).
