Ok, so I just wanted to tell you, Pat-trick, that I am envious of you.

We've talked many many many a-time about just living in the woods. He took a course on pack guiding in the Can. Rockies & grew up on a farm in crowsnest area. I have lived in a stinky city for 26 years now, but am willing to whatever it takes to live off the grid. I've learned how to do river laundry, he is teaching me how to trap, I know how to fish and clean those too. We have built so many log cabin/lean-to-type things.

I know we could do it. I could do without everything. Anything.

Book Recommendation: Dances with Marmots. "George Spearing, Dances With Marmots - Pacific Crest Trail" I love these types of books, very inspirational and motivational!
