You still have to go through the sign-up process and click the PAYPAL link - but the first 30 days is on us! We think you will like the daily entertainment so much you will want to continue. Yes, you can cancel at anytime.
It's like subscribing to a Magazine of an ongoing documented journey, like a series of books, but it's so much more! It's instant access to an elite membership of folks that love the wilderness. If you watch shows like 'Life Below Zero' & 'The Last Alaskans' or have followed Dick Proenneke's 'Alone in the Wilderness' documentary series, then you will love this website! We thank you for your support. Without it we couldn't bring this level of entertainment right into your home - all from our little log cabin in the middle of the Off Grid wilderness. It's never a boring day at Eliguk Lake! Said by everyone who visits.
Our little off grid fishing resort is an ongoing restoration in progress. This is all part of the entertainment you get to watch! We snow machine for hours through the wilderness to get to where our truck is parked when we need to journey into town. Every trip is an experience and an adventure all on it's own! We strive to live sustainably, Off Grid so far away from main roads, civilization in complete solitude. Our nearest homesteading off grid neighbor is 35km away! While we love having guests, our most frequent visitors are Grizzly bears & Timber Wolves! We will take you through our life of getting a resort up and running, how to survive in the wilderness, and how to manage and cope in a relationship that is tested by every element nature can throw at it! Plus so much more!
We are often asked all sorts of questions by folks looking to make the move Off the Grid. What do we need? What tools are the most important? How much money does it cost? What skills are required? How much food will I use in a year? No question is a dumb question! We get all kinds! So we figured there is a great demand for answers and guidance. We even have a host package here at the resort catering to couples who want to learn more or at least experience off grid life before they take the plunge! Especially when one in that couple is unsure if they will fully embrace the life or not. It's the best advice we have, try it first and learn everything you can before you take the plunge!
Here is a teaser from our blog and our story as we continue this incredible journey roughing it in the Wild West Chilcotin, British Columbia Canada...
As I sit here at Eliguk Lake, writing about our journey to this amazing place, I can't help but wonder how we ever made it here at all. It's me, Jennifer - crazy, adventurous wife lady of Aron Toland, (aka Mountain Man) and this is all about our "next chapter in life". We could have filled a whole season of one of the best reality shows EVER with just 15 days in the bush! At the very least, we should be airing an episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive"....or so it felt that way in the beginning.

Off Grid Life Blog...the Teaser.
Yes, you guessed it! We live off grid. How do we blog about it? By pointing a satellite dish into the sky and powering it with solar panels. Sure, we use a generator after dark if need be,...surely you can't expect an off gridder to give up all life's little luxuries? Especially since we've already given up running water and flush toilets! We are roughly 400km (250 Miles) from the nearest city and major shopping center. Are we crazy? Sometimes! Living amongst Grizzly Bears and packs of Timber Wolves can be a little intimidating. However, lately I have had 3 encounters with Moose trying to run me down. So I'm not sure where the bigger threat lies.
We are a mid-life couple that woke up one day and said, "this can't be it, can it? There has to be more to life than this?" So enough of the city life/rat race/hamster wheel game of work/pay bills/eat/sleep. We spent 5 years planning and will tell you in detail how we succeeded. Then we leapt outside our comfort zone/bubble/box.
In such a short time society has gone from being self sustainable to totally dependent on society and the government for everything. It's almost like watching civilization collapse. Disconnecting yourself from the contaminated industrial food economy and unwinding from the hamster wheel of life. Work, eat, sleep, repeat.
By creating our own reality, our own life without boundaries puts us in control what happens and when things get done. It's a movement that is world wide spread and well known. It's on an incline, and growing fast. As long as your living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on public utilities, you are considered to be Off the Grid. Otherwise known as Pioneering, Homesteading, Re-wilding, Permaculture, Self-Sufficiency all end goals leading to a sustainable and hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
We will tell you our entire story and it will read just like a never ending book to our members only, it will keep going as we continue living it.
What can you expect inside this website? This is our story, our life, our blog. We put it ALL out there! We share daily/weekly on our Off Grid life so others may learn, be inspired and entertained. We are a paid blog for a very minimal subscription fee of $2.49/month CA. This allows us to continue the expense of running and designing a blog and a website with FREE book downloads, beautiful photos, featured guests & interviews from like minded resourceful folks, video. The list of tabs available for your perusal inside contain Eliguk Outpost diary, Features, The Blog, Mountain Man's Corner, Homesteading & Sustainability, Trading Post & VIP Auctions, plus access to my Off Grid Cookbook. We hope to see you under our membership where you will have full exclusive access to these pages. Once a member this website posts your log-in and you can see who else is here in real time and interact and leave comments & likes. We all look forward to meeting you!
Sincerely,
Mountain Man, Wilderness Woman & Community.
