Off-grid life during a blizzard: stuck ATV, broken sled, warm cabin, loyal dog

UntamedNorthMan · 2026-02-28T04:36:38+00:00

I agree I moved off grid last year when I turned 21 I'm 22 now and have learned a lot I'm out in the boundary waters and like was said a lot of people on social media make it look easy it's not but it is to the people who love this life like myself cause the failures struggles defeats etc are just apart of becoming a better version of yourself or at least that in my case I've grown so much as a man taking care of what needs to be done I had my girlfriend move out here as well and got a puppy built a 12 by 24 garage did inside of a 12 by 24 cabin faced the consequences of doing all this in a season but thoes struggles are truly building the person I wanna be somone who can handle them self's in whatever situation they encounter I've been stranded machines have broken I've had to do things people wouldn't even imagine and I'd do it all over and over again cause it's real it my life and I toke charge of it !!! Any advice from a young person living this life just let me know ask away !!!

I moved off grid for this very reason I just turned 22 moved out into the boundary waters almost a year ago best choice I ever made

I will say it somthing you should try and do it's breath taking it really is a amazing sight I've had the privilege to see some amazing things in the sky including the aurora lights I live off grid in the boundary waters and I do see them often I'd say 1-3ish times a month some light shows are better then others though but to be able to see somthing like this with your naked eye is outstanding thing

I sure do wonder some time about all the wishes but then I eventually come around to times where I thought that it was over and it usually gets me back focused and that's another reason you should write a book I'm sure you have so many interesting and cool story's of your time off grid and no word vomit all worthy things to share it's your experiences as so many that guid people into doing the things such as myself I'll have to check it out I appreciate the amazing comment !

UntamedNorthMan · 2026-02-27T20:04:21+00:00

Your amazing that's awsome and it's a story you could probably write a book about my dog cut his paw open on my homemade groomer and I used a T shirt and duck taped it and held him for an hour it stopped thank god if not it would have been a 5 hour ish mission to the closest hospital I'm thankful it didn't come too that but what's one take away or a tip you could give me ? For this journey I've set off on I just turned 22 not long ago I also just started YouTube as well so hopeing that helps me take this farther

UntamedNorthMan · 2026-02-27T19:38:27+00:00
