Hi! My name is MIke. I’m a 49 year old Canadian living in Ontario, Canada. I love it here. My favorite people are here and there are some of the most beautiful landscapes you will ever find located here. I have a passion for Nature and being outdoors. I mean, come on! The stars at night outside of the city! Fire cooked food! Lazy rivers, shady trees, trails, mountains, lakes! After spending 30 plus years in the average working class job, stuck in the 9-5, you really see the system for what it is. It’s designed to keep people just below the surface, stuck in debt, drowning in the perpetual chase for their piece of cheese. Well, I don’t like it so I started looking into the off-grid lifestyle. To say it’s an easy choice would be a misguided statement. In many ways off-grid living is harder than the average life inside society and its systems. But its free. Free from most controls, free from the city air, free from the claustrophobic chaos that is urban living. So I started this website to help others than are feeling the tension grow, or their strength diminish, or the time for change approaching and would like to get informed about building a happy, healthy home, and living more like we were meant to as part of, and in tune with Nature on this awesome planet!
Why I Launched This Website
I wanted to create a space where I could share my experiences, successes, and even the occasional missteps, as I dive deeper into this way of living. My goal is to help you to possibly take the plunge into the off-grid life or, at the very least, encourage you to try a few DIY projects that bring you closer to nature. I want to become a resource and education hub for the greater off-grid community. I believe in disconnection from some (or all!) of our society’s norms, and reconnection to our selves and the planet we live on.
How I Aim To Help You
Through this website, I hope to provide you with insights and practical advice. Whether you’re just curious about what going off-grid entails or you’re ready to make some significant changes, I’m here to support you. I’ll be sharing tips, tricks, and projects to help you start or enhance your own off-grid journey. From setting up your own solar power system to growing your own food, I’m excited to walk this path with you. Let’s get outside and off the grid! Fresh air, freedom, self discovery, self reliance!
