Ever thought of considering living an off grid life style? Watch the many shows as I do (homestead survival, last Alaskans, The Brown family, Live free or die) and dream of being able to have that self sufficient lifestyle that you see? If you do, you are than among many Americans and a growing trend of wanting to get back to simplicity.
I believe it is a primal necessity of how we have been made. Humans since the beginning of time have been geared to hunt, survive and thrive by trial and error. The personal decision of my journey is having five children and wanting to see them grow up for their remainder of childhood in a healthy (non-city) environment. Essentially, this desire began way back and grew as I taught others basic prep and survival skills and started to immerse myself within the off-grid community also via social media (20/20 hindsight - curse and a blessing).
I had noticed for a longtime in coming, how truly screwed we are with everything going on around us. I want the children to begin knowing the where their food comes from, connecting with the earth around them and learning how to hunt. So, now we are in the process of finding the "right" land for us , so our journey may begin.
