We used all our money to buy 12 acres of rainforest in Queensland, Australia. We lived in a tent for the first few years. Initially we had no shower, so we bathed in the creek. We then made an outdoor shower connected to the creek. We had no toilet, so we made a composting toilet and attached a water sprayer. We had zero electricity until we got solar panels. We really wanted food freedom, so from the beginning we planted fruit trees, and a lot of them. I'm proud to say that we now have planted over 1,000. We used the bamboo from the land to build tons of primitive technology. In my late 30s I finally learned to make my own clothes, crochet, and one of my favorite skills using palm leaves from the land to weave into bags and mats. I was really growing, even my leg hair! But it hasn't all been wins. We've been set back by cyclones and by a one in 100 year flood. From poisonous tree sap that blistered me for weeks, anaphylaxis reaction to insect bites, to a cockroach making my ear its home in the middle of the night. But we are hooked. This is the life for us, and here we inspire you to also move off grid and grow your own food.
