I'm a little concerned about fire. We have only a single dirt track lane for 3 1/2 miles to the main road (wich I actually LOVE otherwise) I could try to take the river depending how the fire was burning and how big the front was. I was through a bad fire in ontario in 95. It definetely woke me...

The area I am in typically gets 14 feet annually. This year... we got maybe 2 1/2 feet total. I'm guessing it was because I was prepared and bought a tractor and a huge front mounted snowblower. Lol

I'm new to MI, so I don't know where that river is. Is it in the UP or the Mitten? I spent some time near Detroit (Macomb) over the last year as my wife had her home there. I still had my home in MN, so we went back and forth. It was a pain. We found a place that was remote and off grid (we...

I have a 3 season porch/greenhouse with a full southern exposure on the south side of the guest cabin. I should be able to start the girls in there this spring and if I do any strains that have a longer finishing time I can do them in pots all summer and finish them in there this fall if I dont...

I officially became a Yooper about an hour and a half ago. I surrendered my MN license and got a MI license and plates. Officially changed residence to my MI address. Now I just have to finish emptying out my old place and sell it. I didn't realize how strongly I identified as a Minnesotan and...

I lived in MN since 92 up near the border for 10 years and then down near Duluth. I hate Minneapolis, but Duluth sucks too. I just moved oit this way last fall. Too bad this is a liberal run state too. The majority of red states are all too hot or don't have enough forest and lakes for my...

Any of you guys ever have somebody heist your crop? Thats one of the best parts about being so remote. I doubt anybody will stumble on it and I'm hemmed in by large tracts of private land on all sides. My neighbor would just LOVE to find a tresspasser. We are all very like minded. "Fuck around...

I meant to say pine and cedar. We do have some maple and birch but not enough on my property for me to really use any. Pretty sporadic. Im sure Ill get to use the blower. We typically get 14 ft annually here. I dont think we broke 36 inches combined so far. Ill take the freebie as we are...

We got an LS tractor. They made tractors for New Holland and Case for 30 years and started competing in the market in the 90's IIRC. We got the 6 ft front mounted snowthrower too and so far I'm liking it. To bad we only had one storm big enough for me to use it. Lol So far, we really liking...

Thanks Bill. I truly am finally living the good life. Never thought Id be excited to buy a tractor. Lol. But I have to maintain and improve my land and that road isn't gonna take care of itself. I just started reading your greenhouse thread and I see that you're on a river too. Is it a trout...

I absolutely LOVE being off grid and waaaay out in the middle of nowhere. We are at the very end of a 3 1/2 mile unmaintained road. One other person lives on the road. Together we maintain it so we can get in and out. A couple of hunting shacks are on the road as well, but that's it. We have 77...

Off grid and remote is the way to be my brother.

I believe the country is headed for a real reckoning. I think the grid WILL go down sometime in the next year or so. Whether accidentally, on purpose, or an act of war from an enemy... I don't know. I do think it's coming. It's the main reason why I am away from population centers. People will...
