It was -39 when we got up this morning. Being prepared for anything is just part of our lives. We are good for about 6 months. When the garden starts the cycle begins again.
We are very lucky to live here. I can't think of a better place to raise a child.
No phone and no grid.

It is hard work. Getting dressed up to travel the 200 feet to the out house.
We're snowed in right now. Our 1 1/2 km road has deep snow drifts. I need to weld up the tractor plow before it moves. To cold to be welding.

Unlimited solar power on these cold days but it takes an hour or so to wam up the shop.
The walls are double 6mm plastic, good for light and helps heat up the space with sunlight. When there is no sun I burn wood.
