I’ll have to begin by writing. I’m not sure if anyone will actually read this however this place is now a part of me in the intense volume of sheer effort to restore the old shack into something livable. The vernacular today is “off grid”. However I believe this is a misnomer. There is no such thing as off grid because we are social creatures at our core. Over th years I believe our connection to our natural environment and each other is hard wired in the brain and we need to be a part of the grid or systems of exchange. A diet is that of what the forest creature dine on wouldn’t be enjoyable. I like my grocery store fair which leads me to one issue with this cabin not connected to the hydro grid. Refrigeration.
I’m writing this as I prepare and pack food for the weekend.
