Ever dreamed of ditching the grid and roughing it like mountain folk, only to realize your survival skills peak at making instant coffee? In this episode, Ana-Marija and Sam trade plumbing for buckets, turn DIY into D-I-Why-are-we-doing-this, and debate whether living off-grid is a path to enlightenment or just a path to missing Netflix. Come for the banter, stay for the questionable rainwater.
Key Takeaways:
- Defining off-grid living… and discovering how many buckets you actually need (spoiler: so many buckets).
- The couple tackles real off-grid challenges like DIY rain catchers and compost toilets—with only slightly more success than most reality shows.
- Unfiltered feelings on self-sufficiency, glamping, and why maybe we’re not meant to become feral wilderness people after all.
- Legal (and bodily) obstacles for urban off-grid life—if you’re thinking of going rogue, watch out for zoning laws and cat poo surprises.
- A heartfelt confession: Off-grid living is… hard. Possibly bad. But hey, at least we didn’t get eaten by a bear (yet).
