I already provided you the man's name along with the title of the documentary.

Spend 10 seconds on a google search and you can choose which way you'd like to proceed.

Stop asking for a link....tough guys living off the grid don't mind a 10 second google search.

Just search Dick Proenneke on YouTube. You'll find all the documentaries, in bits and pieces. Amazing!

The modern off the grid movement involves nomads - usually van-dwellers. They stay for free on public lands (you can do this for 14 days at a time, usually). There are tens of thousands out there doing that, living in a minimalist way.

If you would take the time to search on YouTube for "Nomads" you would find dozens, if not hundreds, of videos of people actually doing this.

He wants to be Grizzly Adams, off the grid, but can't spare 10 seconds to google something.

I hope he can find room service and maids when he's "off the grid".

Lol

The traditional off the grid movement lifestyle is difficult to do in the US today. By traditional, I mean buying some land and creating your own little world, trying to be as self-sufficient as possible. It takes boat loads of money, as most places have building codes which require tens of thousands of dollars just to set up the basics (water, septic, etc.). The tiny house movement is interesting, but, increasingly, owners of tiny homes find it hard to actually find a place to park their tiny home, because of codes. That's why the nomad movement has taken off. What these people have done to customize their vans and etc. is amazing. By limiting the amount of mileage they put on their rigs, staying at the hundreds (thousands?) of free places out there, they economize on their expenses. I find all of these things fascinating - how people solve problems to live the kind of life they want.
