This is a podcast version of a video from Day 173 of going off-grid. I went 'off grid' six hundred and sixty-three days ago and it has been quite the journey since I got dropped off at this old fallow farm and built (continue to build) all my own infrastructure. I have been video documenting the entire process and have just recently begun publicly sharing some of the videos. I have been sharing the videos privately since I started the entire process which I call Jacob Goes Off Grid In The Woods. 'Day 1' is the morning after I arrived at this little place in the mountains in the 'dead of winter' on January thirteenth of two thousand and seventeen with my dogs, my wits, minimal gear and very little hard currency to work with. Slowly I have done my best to breathe life into a very old farm and give it all my best, 'learning as I go', and documenting the process as best I can. It has been quite the journey so far. @jacobpeacock Video Note: Because DTube only host video files for forty-five days I have compressed this video to a low-quality 240p file before uploading it. After the forty-five day period (or if you want to view a higher quality version of this video) please use the following link to view this video on Google Drive. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwBY4ko1KwkSem1Yc3V5MlBFR1k In this video I talk about getting woken up a lot the night before because people kept coming to the gate and the dogs kept barking at them. I talk about trying to take a nap and how someone started setting off big fireworks and it woke me up and scared the dogs. I talk about going on a hike looking for mushrooms and how I saw some weird looking mushroom that I had never seen before. I get off on a tangent about being stressed over the unsavory elements of the world around me. I talk about pulling the unwanted vegetation from the flower pots that I have planted black locust in. As always this is just a summary of the video's content and not meant to explain everything that I cover in the video.
