Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I write to you from the Canadian wilderness. My wife and I are alone on a remote lake accessible by float plane only. This computer/satellite is our connection to the outside world. I was born in the city and it’s quite the change to be living as remote as we are. Generally we don’t see another human for 6 months at a time. My wife and I have been off-grid for 36 years and we’ve embraced the homesteading lifestyle. This lifestyle has certainly been an adventure! I’ve written a book that goes into details of how I chose to live a non-traditional lifestyle. I started homesteading in Maine for 20 years. My book has true stories of my winter thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, cross country bicycle ride, living in the Canadian wilderness, surviving forest fires, bears and more.

I’ve been following Ron and his wife for some time now. Such an interesting guy and the journey he’s on. Sets the mind to wandering… and daydreaming about doing the same thing. I would recommend his reading to anyone, and following him on facebook.

I really enjoyed Ron’s book. We live off the grid as well and could relate to many of his experiences.
