I love that you have a little industry going on of carpentry, leather works, baking, butchering cooking, grilling and a few other survival things without buildings, because when a group of collonists set up for a new village they have to get started right out of their wagons and tents and then before long they have shops and houses, and then a village. I wonder if there is an approved layout that everybody uses so there is a town square and courthouse so a heirarchy of criminal corruption and can begin.

[@CplSkiUSMC]

The pump up yard sprayers make fantastic outdoor showers. Get the 3 or 5 gallon tank with the hose, you can just spray off and easily rinse out those nooks and crannies.

[@Gridlessness]

Nooks and crannies….wow. 😂

[@DFDuck55]

I lived off-grid in the mountains, 8 miles from the nearest road, for a decade. There was a small spring at the bottom of the property. At first I would fill a 5 gallon jug with water, tie it to a backpack frame and carry it back up to camp. Eventually I came up with a 1,000 gallon wooden tank that I mounted 15 foot up between three pine trees. The repurposed an old generator motor to run a pump, and pumped water up to the tank. For hot water in the summer I used a 100 foot coil of black PVC pipe laying on the ground in the sun. It would sometimes get too hot and I would need to drag half of the coil into the shade. For hot water in the winter I built a wood stove using construction bricks, and put a coil of copper tubing in the flu. It was amazingly sufficient and I would need to careful not to build too big of a fire in it or it would turn the water into steam. It also doubled as an outdoor stove for cooking on. --- Even though I moved on-grid 20-some years ago, have grid electricity and a nice well for water, and now live the closest I have lived to "civilization" (15 miles to the nearest town) I still do a lot of things the same as I learned to do while living off-grid.

[@Gridlessness]

I love hearing about your ingenuity back when you were off-grid, and how you still use it today! Some things are just better when done the old fashioned way. All the best!

[@PabloP169]

Well I survived alone and off-grid for 3 months at a remote cattle station, 100km to nearest town, 40km to next property. I was there as a caretaker while the owners were away for 3-4 weeks at horse events and we got record ran and they couldn't get back in to the homestead and of course I couldn't get out. Lots more to the story, but the main difference to your area is that apart from the recent rain, the 1 million acre place is effectively an arid desert.

Nice looking land I just built a cabin in the middle of no we’re in Nova Scotia and I love it

[@tmacmi9095]

I have been to middle of nowhere in Nova Scotia, as a child. My parents took all of us 7 kids on a 1600 mile road trip from Michigan ( an incredible feat in and of itself🙏) . Stayed in a campground in Margaree Bay(?) on Cape Breton while visiting relatives . Met a friendly local there who took us on a ride in his Land Cruiser off road. Seen some beautiful scenery and met a family he knew that lived off-grid, like real” Hillbillies” as we referred to them back then. That little excursion left us in awe and with permanent positive memories. Beautiful Province you got there 😃

I used a similar system for a toilet, I used dry dirt not wood chips and no bag in the five gallon bucket. I just buried the contents when it was full. Worked rather well. Only used it for about 8 months, but now I have a real place to live.

Living rural is the way to go. We have lived rural for 18yrs. The last 2yrs we have been even more rural . It's not for everyone , and it's certainly not cheap to start with bare land. Ask us how we know LOL. You have to learn to get out of your comfort-zone. Lot's of skills needed , or lots of money is needed. What I mean is, we started with heavily forested land. It has to be cleared. You have a couple choices. Buy/rent a machine and do it yourself. Or dig into your finances and pay for it to be done. We have a couple thousand hours of labour. Our machine has over 700hrs on it now.

[@davidmcauliffe5673]

Possible idea: hunting, trapping, snaring, starting fire without matches, building camp site or home etc. Primitive survival i.e. "Naked and Afraid"

Sure looked fun Jeff. That k stove seems to be quite the rig. Don’t think cooking eggs on it would be a great idea , for me anyway. I’d be cracking a few eggs in a pan and start doing other stuff. Charcoal eggs are not tasty. Glad you all had a great time. Wish I could’ve been there. Maybe someday.

[@minutemanrocketstove4195]

Alanna- thank you for commenting on our Titan Stove. It actually is quite easy to control the heat and cook with typical cookware without burning food. With a little practice you can run it from a simmer to a raging boil merely by adjusting the size and volume of the bio mass you are feeding. More smaller sticks= max heat. Fewer larger sticks=lower heat that requires less feeding. Hope this helps.

I live off grid and the first few months were great, until the rains came. It rained for 2 days and what were just indents in the ground are now lakes 10 ft deep and feet from my tiny house. Of and we have triops, they look like a horse shoe crab but only inches long. And this area Arizona is the only place in the United states.. . But off grid is coming along. Becareful and make sure the water tank is secured. I had one(250 gal,1000lbs) try to fall on me but my people(angels)pushed it away and it landed upside down which shouldn't of happened.

That camp is awesome until the end of May when all the mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, horse flies start making their appearance. We have an off grid property in the U.P. and you must have a way to get away from those demons because it can make for a pretty miserable experience. What I think I enjoy the most is getting to use my ingenuity to come up with solutions to make camp life easier.
