You've heard of living off grid? Well Michael Bunker lives OFF off-grid!
A deliberate life, pre-industral living, fermented foods, REAL bacon!
Michael Bunker - Plain, but not simple.WHAT AN AMAZING SHOW!
I actually listened to the whole show again last night because Michael was so much fun and inspirational!
Michael Bunker is a plain, beyond-off-grid farmer and author of both fiction and non-fiction.
He's a farmer, a father, and a husband, not in that particular order, but everything he does, he does deliberately, all the while living off off-grid!
We had a great talk about real food, pre-industrial food preparation and storage methods, fermented foods, and the differences in taste and quality between real bacon and that stuff sold as bacon in your local store!
Those things are fun and important, but there was also an underlying, important theme of simplicity and being deliberate about how to live life.
We - as a society - talk about how crazy life is these days. It's a theme that's so up front and in your face that you can no longer claim it's 'underlying.' Life. Is. Crazy.
So, listen in as Galina and I talk with Michael about being more deliberate. How you can use the concept yourself to highlight and honor what's important in your life, that of your family, and of your friends.
Enjoy!
