les stroud builds a home with his family in the wilderness. its roughly one hour long and you need a torrent client to download it. plays fine in VLC media player. http://torrentspy.com/torrent/954364/Survivorman_Off_The_Grid
This is absolutely awesome, it shows that with enough work, and the right motivation you really can get off the grid on a normal budget. Les and his family moved several miles from a plowed road, onto 130 acres in the Canadian wilderness. It took two years because they chose to live in a renovated carriage house on the property. This shows a more involved move mainly because of the realities of that climate, but it is definitely doable.
I love Surviorman! I've seen every single episode.=] I'd have to say the Georgia Swamps is my favorite! I love how he always whips out his harmonica on almost every show, he is so amazing!
Yo... I love Les and the thought of living off the land is a wee bit scary but I'll try it once during the summer... I really don't like the city but I need my meds!! Lordy the weed I could grow.
