I lived off the grid in a two room cabin for a year+ in a valley 80 miles from civilization.
Out house. Showers off the porch in the winter and only a wood cookstove to eat and heat with.
No tv, no radio, no phones. Riding trains to get groceries.
News days like today make me nostalgic for that year of innocence.
Deal. I might eat it all too, but I'll definitely cook. 😏

Fished for dinner. Ran from bears and shot my first rsttlesnake. Damn cold when the fire went out at night in 3' of snow.😂
Jumping moving trains sometimes meant groceries didn't make it.
Still up for it?
Yessssss.
Days not having to talk to people is a day dream I ponder on frequently.
::solitude::
If I win the lottery you would know when I disappear.
A cabin far away from people 😍
I don't mind working for food and survival. I'm solid with a shotgun and not too shabby with a rifle.
How does rattlesnake taste?
Not bad. A bit fishy, maybe, but it was pretty good battered and fried.
Not as fishy as alligator.
@mcfate @Kurtroedeger
Like chicken when it is fried in garlic butter. Lots n lots of garlic.
@peeppeepcircus @northernbassist @Kurtroedeger @damselfly59
Ditto. Bones like fish, tastes like chicken.

@damselfly59 @Kurtroedeger lol yep… if in a milder climate!
^5 on the rattlesnake, too. I’ve also had to shoot one. And have gotten stung by a scorpion, come face to face with curious bobcats, heard screams at night. Those things are scary when you’re a small group. I wouldn’t like the cold, though. The hardest thing was hauling water or when a tree came down and flooded the yurt at night.. pulled the plug on the lights had to carry my toddler out through rushing water & mud in the dark.
@damselfly59 I also miss being off grid. I had internet though but just being surrounded by forest. I prefer the simpler life. Must be very nice to be with absolutely no interruption.
@Museek @damselfly59 I understand that general kind of living is available in Yukon territory; I had a friend out there. No running water, outhouse, but she did have Internet and power afaik.
@Museek right? Sigh. It was tough in the winter. Would choose a warmer climate now. Would miss hot showers too. But the silence.....
@damselfly59
😍😍😍😍😍. Take me to that dream land.
