Off grid living in the wilderness sounds like an amazing goal to shoot for. That’s pretty far from the realm of possibility for me. Closest I can get to it is the occasional camping trip.
I’m glad to hear you’re pulling though this. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.
Remember, Den, the most important thing is your health, and I can speak for all of us when I say I am very glad you are getting better. That is what matters most, and although other things may be difficult, I am confident it will all work itself out, and you will turn the corner. Again, all the best to you. Hang in, and keep in touch.
Glad to hear you are feeling better, sad to hear about the job loss and financial burden. Just remember when one door closes in your life another door opens! Sometimes even two doors open!
Glad to hear you are on the mend, so sad to hear of your financial worries, extra burden when you least need it - the main thing is you are recovering now.
Get well soon Den. I hope all your bad luck will run out soon.
If it works for you, I see your youtube channel from the wilderness becoming a great succes, at least I’m looking forward to it a lot, love your video’s sofar
I’ve begun to tire of the “metropolis” life. I find I don’t really take advantage of it much these days. It didn’t turn out to be as much of a social advantage as I’d hoped—much of that is “exclusive” in various circles of social and economic standing. And even after the #Pandemic has subsided, it will be worse. I’m toying with the idea of going to the rural north, where going off grid is more feasible… Maybe New Hampshire.
I’m glad you are on the mend. I was a bit worried when the updates stopped. If you are willing to give a few details of the experience so far, I for one am interested. It sounds like the physical toll has been hell. I can only guess that’s scary to experience.
Great that you at least feel well enough to post updates! This thing is bizarre and unpredictable, so I hope you continue to improve. If it gets bad, then it seems to take forever to recover and many may have long-term lung damage. Hope we can soon stop most folks from getting so bad in the first place [crossed fingers].
I live in a rural area and was highly isolated even before March , but now I have tons of stay-at-home folks trying to fend of boredom by turning the creek in front of my house into a recreational area; large crowds gather on any sunny day and there’s no social distancing whatsoever. We had to install a gate on our driveway. This thread isn’t about me, but I thought this might provide context.
People will almost certainly be better off in Canada and Newfoundland is likely more resistant to political chaos than the mainland, so I’m not ruling out The Rock myself . I hope that you successfully navigate your way back to your wilderness and that you find a way to thrive, no matter what.
