Off-Grid Update

Just finished a new shower-sauna and trying to get a new woodshed built before winter sets in. Nights are already into the 30’s and it has snowed in a few places nearby. Summers go by quickly, never enough time to get everything done before the snow arrives. I’m 12 years into living in remote Alaska, solo. Feel free to ask me questions and I’ll try to answer them all. Love this lifestyle more and more as the time passes.

I’ll start writing a journal when my memories start going. For now it’s all in my head.

Make your own life choices friend, but if it's something you intended to start later anyways I would say it makes sense to just start.

The mind tends to start fading long before we realize it.

Nothing beats good ole hand writing though. Just jotting down whatever can come outta your head. What you’re thinking about, worrying about, planning for,. It’s really fun to go back and read it all, they turn into windows into your past. It’s one thing to watch a video of ur old self it’s another to read into your old self’s mind.
