Between Coronavirus and the political landscape right now, leaving it all to live a remote life in the mountains sounds pretty good right now, doesn't it?
Well, that's what Gary Collins did almost a decade ago. With a background in the military, Gary now lives off-the-grid part of the year in a remote area of NE Washington State and spends the rest of the year exploring in his travel trailer with his trusty black lab Barney.
Gary talks about how he ended up living this life, what he's learned off the grid and how you can build a remote life for yourself if you choose. He also covers how you can simplify and uncluttered your current life.
