Hello from Alaska!

[Gettinby]

That’s actually where mine is. I know there are people living out there so that gives me hope that it’s possible. There’s a show called Love Off the Grid which featured a lady who lives in the San Luis Valley.

Welcome! .... from Texas ... I'm just living vicariously through everyone here!

 

[Gettinby]

Thank you! Same at least for now.

Another welcome from Alaska, but I’m in a cooler location than the other Alaskans. Currently 21 degrees and snow is armpit deep. Warmer than typical, but that okay as the previous three winters were exceptionally cold! Sorry to be losing you to the lower 48!

Hi everyone! I joined in hopes of meeting like minded people. People that live the off grid or homestead lifestyle which both are my eventual goals. I’ve been living in Alaska for about two years now but planning on making a return to the lower 48 soon. I’m currently purchasing some land in southern Colorado so if that’s where you are I would love to hear about your experiences there.

I lived in Alaska for four years. Loved it. But it was too isolated for me to stay. I hope you enjoyed your stay there.

Welcome from Oklahoma where I am now. We also lived in the Denver metro area for 4 years. It was okay.

I feel the same way about the isolation. I’m actually from Oklahoma where I’ve spent most of my life. What a small world. Good to meet you!

Welcome from Bama!

Thank you!

Welcome from Oregon. We are in a solid red county, so it is possible. Unfortunately Portland usually out votes us.

Thank you! Yeah bad politics can ruin good places.

My wife and I both grew up in Oregon. But we had to move out because of the politics 35 years ago. Never regreated since.

Hello and welcome from S.W. Oregon. Wife, son and I lived in the mountains just west of Denver, I liked a lot of things in Colorado, mainly mountains, lakes and rivers, southern Colorado was great but sad to say, we just couldn't afford to live in Colorado. Where we live now is a much lower cost of living and has many things to do as we did in Colorado, hunting, fishing and gold prospecting but with far less people to deal with, it always seemed like there was very few places you could be without someone showing up, out here there are places you may not see anyone for weeks, that means, of course when you go out in the woods your better have food, water and warm clothing in case you get stranded.

Howdy from Nevada! Lived in Alaska 7 years. One year it didn't snow until Feb and pipes freezing 12ft down. Fire hydrants shooting out of the ground with 10ft of pipe attached!

Wow! Thankfully it has been cold enough for that.
