#OffGridLiving

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Since my life circumstances recently changed, perhaps now is a good time for a formal #introduction.

I've been here for many years but hello Fediverse!

I live in a caravan with my wife and two young kids. We are currently traveling in southern Europe (Spain, etc.) in the hopes of finding a new place to settle down.

I am a former software developer, currently interested in #degrowth, #permaculture, #OffgridLiving, #anarchism, #unschooling, #spirituality, #ConvivialSoftware and #permacomputing.

Today I
* stressed over a failed $51 payment and spent a while on hold trying to find out what to do about it (more #mutualaid would definitely help here)
* made more progress on the solar panel bumper (drilled holes in the wood pieces and fastened most of them together, except for the top side expansion piece that has to be cut lengthways and is taking much effort so I am cutting it a bit at a time),
* fixed my saw's (missing screw to hold on its handle) problem with a coach bolt and nut,
* made a start on chopping up the motor housing for the swing arm motor I removed from the front of the bus yesterday,
* dismantled a higgledy-piggledy ladder for its wood and screws,
* and enjoyed some nice sandwiches.

In August 2022, Rebecca Vance, her younger sister Christine and her son, 13-year-old Talon, went to live off grid on a mountain in a Colorado winter. The tale has a tragic end, but journalist Ted Conover wanted to understand how the family got there. In this long read for @outside, he discovered a heartbreaking story of conspiracy theories, fear, and profound naivety. Story may be paywalled and contains some distressing details.

#Introduction post!

I am a #goth #nursing student by day, and a #skrunkly writer of #horror and #speculativefiction by night. I have a background in #zooarchaeology, #visualart, and, unfortunately, marketing. As a #casualgamer, I can promise you that I’m a fully-optimized floor tank.
