How a Family Has Lived Off-Grid In The Wilderness For 32 Years

When I lived off the grid in the NWT in the 1960's I washed clothes in one of those large, metal milk containers, shaved off pieces of sunlight bar soap and churned the clothes with a toilet plunger. Worked like a damn. Also scrounged an old Eaton's Acme wood stove for cooking and purchased a Grandfather Fisher stove for heat. Now 90 years old, retired in rural Saskatchewan and really envying you folks. Best wishes to you all. Makes me proud to be Canadian.

god bless you folks ,living a peaceful healthy life ,avoid all the stress of the crappy society we have today 😊😊😊

Very good documentary one of the best I've seen.I live similar to this myself and picked a few god ideas while watching for me and here is no bette way to live but a lot of people would never live like this and call us poor and dirty.The truth is we are the healthiest and richest people by far.I dreamed of living like this from a young age but the cities and small towns had me chasing the the Dollar and paying continuously in the vicious circle many get trapped in.I saved and sold everything 4years ago and made this my life and I will never turn back.I truly am blessed and deeply in love with nature and mother earth and she can really provide for me with a little elbow grease.

I followed with little pain in my hart...such great life in the life.... I live in Holland am very Lucky to have a pièce of land at the edge of an industry park and no more chance of building...i live in my gipsy wagon, half of grid...and envy you....an 75 now and pleased with good health... Take good care of my land fit vers and butterflies and hedgehoaks.. Would like to do more so i host slow travellers with tent. Love to meet people but am a hermit... Tkx for sharing your life. Stay safe God vlees. Love jane

I've been living OFF-THE-GRID 4 years now, i'm boat, float plane and sled access only in northern BC CAN'TADA. Much respect 🤝🍁💪

He has a lot of love for those bunnies. JESUS Bless you.

After 10 or so years of YouTube watching , this video is very likely at the top of the list of the videos I've watched! You guys sipping the water from your hands would have been allowed in Gideon's army. 😎

Was impressed with the doc and these men….thank you, i yearn for this lifestyle, dial humanity back a few notches is what we may truly all need.

Every person should experience harvesting your sustenance. I really felt that pain of being truly thankful. ❤

One of the best documentaries - no bulls...t for city dwellers. Thank you!

One of the best videos.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I've been dreaming of this way of living for the past 15 years, unfortunately my family don't think I can do it as I'm turning 70 this year and on my own now.

Incredibly informative and interesting! I never would have thought to have a floor like that. Great video!

What a amazing video! Such a wonderful way of life. These people have a awesome relationship with there surroundings!

The ground pebble is interesting, but what I would do is probably install some kind of pipe system under the pebble and have hot water going though that pipe. The rock will capture that heat and irradiate it. I'm just not fully sure how to do it easily without an electric pump. One huge advantage of this, is 4 inch of warm rock pebble still irradiate that energy after the fire is gone, and since heat rise, no insulation is really needed (I just wouldn't go too far to the border of the house, then this might cause issues maybe. You could also have the sun hit the rock floor, which the rock will store that heat (And you will want to do the reverse in the summer, protect so the sun don't enter the cabin).

This was great! Thank you. OH CANADA! What a beautiful Country eh

❤Fantastic and very inspiring video. Thank you so much!

Absolutely love the pebble floor, never have seen this....seems quite obvious 👍👍👍

Thank you for sharing this documentary I love it and I also live off grid for like 8 years and I'm continually learning may God bless you and your family long health and peace

If you eat bear from the north woods, it might be alright… but if you’re near a city, you’ll wanna check its stomach contents and make sure it hasn’t been eating garbage and carrion… if it’s filled with cereal, frosting, and bacon, then it’s been eating bait… if it’s it’s filled with corn and Berries, that’s the one you want
