I lived off the grid on my 20 acres with a small creek down the middle in the high mountains of BC Canada. for 20 years. with my wife and ended up with 4 children..The closest neighbour was about 5 miles away, down the valley..It was a wonderful way to live and raise a family..The kids are all in their late 20s and 30s now and Love the outdoors ..I put all their names on the deed and now I live Down near Vancouver BC..I'm 70 years old now and very content with the life I lived...God bless this spirited woman for having the will to live her life the way she loves...

I once asked a therapist if it was strange that I'm always alone but never lonely. He said he thinks it's definite personality type and the people who go against their nature to force themselves into social lives are those who suffer severe depression. Some of us, for whatever reason, are meant to be alone. Congratulations to this woman for having found her place.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

Beautifully said. I've never been one to go against my nature. It's disheartening to witness so many people steer away from their authentic selves, chasing after societal expectations and norms. They often find themselves navigating through lives that feel hollow and unfulfilled. It would be so liberating if society embraced our human differences with open arms, rather than scrutinizing and condemning them. We'd all be much happier for it.

[@PatrickThreewit]

Some people just enjoy solitude. My wife died a year ago. My life of teaching in one-teacher schools and in the sticks were hard on her but not me. I grew up on an island. Lately friends thing I should be looking for a companion, but I'm happy the way I am and I don't think many women would like to live my back-to-the land lifestyle. I live 5 driving hours from the nearest interstate and 2 driving hours to the nearest Costco. But having traveled many times up the coast and seen so many of the BC coastal islands and the waterfalls and the animals and the orcas, I wished I could have spent time on the BC Coast. But I lived on the American San Juans which are an extension of the Canadian San Juans. We high school kids couldn't wait to get off the "rock", but now I am so glad I had that life and understand so well Amanda's life. Thanks, Amanda.

[@karimartin9441]

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Words of wisdom right there.

[@robertmuckle2985]

Having lived off grid for many years, I would tend to disagree. The data would show that a lack of regular health care, including dentistry will shorten ones life expectancy. Oftentimes a minor health issue will be 'toughed out' rather than addressed, which can lead to an exacerbated decline in overall health. This lifestyle appears (to the uninitiated) to be filled with endless days of serenity and solitude...whereas in reality, it's labour intensive, lonely, and extremely dangerous...and just staying warm is a full time occupatipn. I'd give most humans a month before they're desperate for takeout and a Starbucks😂

[@Dilly_dallying_kite_monger]

Couldn't agree more , her life is healthy and wealthy.

Research suggests otherwise, showing that married people live longer. Nonetheless, I'd agree she seems to have carved-out a niche for herself and appears content.

[@TonyRoberts45503]

I just looked thru a few comments. Some of the first ones I will respond to. Like one person said you’re not off grid if you use a cell phone, another said you’re not off grid if you’re on KZbin. I guess more people should do some research on what off grid is. You live in the middle of nowhere and you supply your own power like wind or solar. You have no public utilities like water, gas, sewer or electric. There are many people that have KZbin channels that live off grid. Like when I camped in the Desert for 12 months in the middle of nowhere. Sure I had my cell phone I used wind and solar for power. I truly love that lifestyle. You are living my dream Amanda.

[@AmandaOffGrid]

Yaaaaas! Just because you've got internet and cell service (which, by the way, I don't have), it doesn't disqualify you from living off-grid. Some purists might argue that true off-grid living means cutting ties with all things digital, but let's be real here: in today's world, staying connected is more of a necessity than a luxury. When you're out in the middle of nowhere and you need help, having a lifeline to the outside world can save your life.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

OffGrid means like if the Grid went down Which means cell phns are down too, yup If u wanna make a vid on phn charged with solar panel and then d/l it in town once a week on library internet, sure. I’ve lived very recently with no phn service at all. For 1 1/2yrs. With kids. It was most amazing time in our life. Ppl learned to leave vmails cuz it wouldn’t even register my missed calls. I went to town once a week lol You Just Need Each Other and Friends Who Want To Stop By Aloneness, I’m not so sure of. Humans are social creatures.

Hi, we lived off grid in the NZ bush. We had to start from scratch, build everything, home cabin, composting loos, solar and microhydro, regenerative gardens and fruit trees.

I admire you and your lifestyle. I also live on a island in Newfoundland, on the east coast. But not as isolated as you. The first winter I found it lonely, but now it's good to be away from people. I still visit my family and enjoy life!Hopefully I am going to sail around my province, in the summer! But tomorrow I have to shovel snow 😅. Stay safe!

I’d love to see her get a new dog. They’re the best friends and provide unconditional love and companionship. I’m going to check out her channel, the older I get the more this way of life appeals to me.

Amanda is amazing. To chase the dream, she actually manifests it with a great attitude and a decent amount of courage. Way to go, you’re an inspiration Amanda! ❤

- As long as she's happy, that's all that matters. Her dog was so beautiful as well. Another thing is, she has great bosses so that helps a lot.

You don't get lonely because of all the nature around you and all the work you are doing. What an amazing job , What a dream job!

What beautiful scenery and lifestyle. I live almost remotely but in the tropics. I equally appreciate the solitude and living in nature. Enjoyed this!
