“Mari and I have been living in the forest since March 2013 and love it! We are 100% off-grid and are enjoying the challenges that this brings as well as the empowerment of self-reliance it creates. We try to develop as sustainable as possible which for us means using natural & re-claimed materials. By keeping the environmental impact low, the costs low and the skills level required low – we believe that we and anyone else who chooses to live an off-grid life can do so!”
