    We moved very remote and converted a hunting cabin into a home. We are off grid capable if needed..well, wood cook stove, and the entire cabin can run on my trucks generator for 3 weeks. There hasn’t been much left for me in “society” since the vaccine mandates forced me out of a job. I want my kids to grow up with nature not screens. Modern society has taken its toll on us…It’s time for self reliance.

    To be completely honest, I would love nothing more than to be off the grid. Unfortunately I’m currently taking care of my disabled 85 year old mother, I made a promise to my father on his deathbed that I would take care of her until she passes. However, after that I’m out and gone!!!

    My father died on Wednesday of last week, with his funeral last Saturday. He died at 81 years of age. He was born at a time where there wasn't much in the way of material comfort. He experienced quite a rich gambit of the various technological changes. One benefit for him was the advances in medical treatment that maintained him as he struggled with his health over the last 12 years of his life.
    There are a few things about his life that strike me relative to my own experiences. My Dad was able to buy a home in a nice community and had a devoted wife who looked after the jobs at home. Together they had 5 children and could easily afford to sustain that life with an annual summer holiday on his income alone. They only had a mortgage for several years. There was a great sense of community at the funeral. My parents were able to sustain lifelong or other long-term friendships. My Dad was a popular presence in our local pubs and my mother has a strong presence in the local church.
    The sense of support from these groups has been enormous.
    I cannot see any of these things being available for me if I reach that age. I'm 39 and don't even own a home. My Dad had 3 children and a fully paid off home at that age. I won't have the ability to plug into a community in the way my parents could. The pub culture is dead, the church is in terminal decline. To top it off we are living in an era without any real sense of group identity or common values. There is no longer a sense of loyalty to each other.
    I am very fearful for my future and have very little in my life that I enjoy.

    I grew up believing in the world as I was taught in school, but by my mid 20s I knew
    it was all conditioning. I was on a path for a profession that required a doctorate, but
    withdrew from college after getting my bachelors degree because I just wanted to work
    and start making money. After a while you realize there is very little difference between
    a janitor and a doctor. Everyone who works and pays taxes into the system are all slaves.
    This is the modern world, owners and serfs. Technology, as you put it the matrix, is a
    hypnotic method to dull our sense of intuition from realizing how trapped we all really are.
    The problem is the immense power these evil tyrants have, literally everything in the world
    is controlled by them. Governments, educational systems, pharmaceuticals, etc.... nobody
    can really escape it. I too have reached a level to say that legitimately I have no place in modern
    society.

      Wouldn't it be great if we all lived in nature and lived off the land? Then we could share our resources and be much healthier and happy. That is how I perceive the ideal life. Not this modern, technological world. Everything you said was exactly correct. I only got an associate degree. Don't be wrong, this modern life offers a lot of comfort and entertainment but at what cost? We as humans are made for so much more in my opinion. It has to do with nature I believe. We belong in nature not in these concrete jungles.

      Everything made by human hands, breaks eventually. The people pushing this agenda will have success. I know this for a few reasons but the one which most can agree on is that they will not accept no for an answer. They will murder to make their will happen. Their real problem is that whatever they do might last for a bit, but eventually human nature takes over and there is infighting or some other cause for disruption. The problem they will find is that eventually one of them wants more power and control than they already have and so it begins. For me there is God and I believe it will be dealt with that way. It's either that or form an army to stop this.

    I realized when everyone was quarantining in their homes and the streets were bare that the noise in my head, the low hum of tension that I feel so regularly - so regularly that it felt like normal - was not me but other people's energy. It was probably the first time I had felt my own energy since I was a kid and it was glorious. Once everyone began coming back out into the public, I didn't go back to my normal activities because I just can't take other people's energies anymore. Then, when I look around and I see that everything is a play and that I am one of the few people around me that recognize that, it makes me feel so very alone. It would help if I had my tribe, but I've never been able to find that. Like you, I don't know where I'm going to end up. Children are grown, parents and husband are gone.

    I feel the same way. I'm not sure I can go totally off grid but the last two years have definitely changed me. I have rethought my life and the vaccine mandates in NZ forced that on me by excluding me from much of what I enjoyed doing. I don't have TV or radio so largely immune to the government BS. Always a shock to me when I see people wearing masks and watching them step away from me because I'm not wearing one. I've had to get a 'mask exemption' card to stop being confronted for not complying even though it's not legal to demand that I have one. Jacinda Ardern thought she was being clever trying to force people to have the jab but there's been a push back and it strengthened the resolve of a lot of people. Most are over the covid hype and getting on with life and finally being cynical about the narrative politicians are pushing. I have health problems that I'm having to go outside of main stream medicine to deal with and if I succeed then I will be able to get out of town and hike in the bush. It's amazing and peaceful when there's no human made noise.

      I think a lot of people in the "anti" camp are people that have been failed by the mainstream medical system. They've had to go outside that system or research for themselves and then find a doctor willing to go along with their theory. And now they just want to be left alone. Getting into nature is grounding, NZ is beautiful but your pm is an evil woman. Our Qld premier here is the same, just a lot fatter.

      I am on the Isle of Wight, England. I never went along with the Scamdemic or 'complied' to the 'rules' . Masks are still worn by some 'diehards' , even First Responders like ambulance crews .
      Though it's very rural here I'm in the centre town of Newport and do have a sizable garden . However , everyday, morning to night sirens on steroids sound off , mostly ambulances and they drive me nuts .
      I'd like to move to a quieter part of the island or better still bugger off somewhere, preferably SE Asia . But because of the crazy times we are in I can't pluck up the energy or courage to do it. At 64 years young, my abroad travel adventures are distant memories. I'm pretty physically fit and healthy except mentally at times .
      I'd really like to be part of a small community of fellow non compliants living off grid and doing what I am able to do in participating workwise , but I think that's just a romantic dream that I can't make come true.
      Thankfully I'm a believer in Christ and the gift of faith sustains me through these various trials as I believe a better eternal life is on the horizon where all the horrors of this current fallen world won't be even a distant memory.

    I’ve been fully off-grid in a remote location for 7 years now. I’m still in the workforce system however at age 52 and I’m tired as well because I work a full time job at home and at a paid job. You must realize that most of the money you need is going into the system. If we fully remove ourselves from that madness, we don’t need but a fraction. My plan is to buy up as much things that I need to live out my life. Example is Im a lifelong guitar player and have bought enough sets of strings and spare parts to last last the rest of my life. Im very close to this with tools also. Buy remote cheap property with very low taxes and build without permits and don’t tell anyone what you are doing.

      I believe that older cultures used intuition much more as a tool than the logical brain (edit as a means of survival). Sure they used rudimentary logic, but science and technology did not exist for them. We need to learn how to become more reliant on our intuition if we find ourselves cast out of society and on our own in nature. And just as intellect can be cultivated and grown so can intuition through the agency of trust.
      And we do this through meditation-stilling the logical mind to hear the inner voice.)

      "the current system" - PRE-transhumanism; and gasoline cars that can go anywhere, any time, any distance, There ARE a whole lot of people who trust & obey authorities and will change to conform to transhumanism and vehicles that are 100% controllable by external agents/agencies. People who don't adopt the new system will be considered as "those who won't grow and change to move beyond the current systems"

Growing plants can not do this. Plant agriculture uses massive amounts of fossil fuels and unlike grazing cattle, it doesn't mitigate its own emissions. The soil microbiome is killed with chemicals and that dead soil is lost rapidly, causing complete land infertility and desertification. Grazing animals is the fastest way to replenish these lands, bring the microbes back, give nutrients back, rehydrate, break up impaction, and build soil faster than any other process.

    Hi Bjorn...thank you for posting this video. Yes, there are many who can relate to what you are saying. I'm 74 and on my own, but in a fairly good situation as far as being independent. My main priority is maintaining my health. I am a writer, I have not had mainstream success with it, but do my own projects and artistic projects. I am preparing for what is coming as best as possible, and investigating ways to get off the grid safely in a way that works for me. I am training myself to spend less time watching even the real news that comes through on the Internet. Dwelling in the horrible things being done to human beings globally is too high a price for my health, so that is part of what I do, turn from that ugly truth into my God given creativity. For me the hardest part of this, is to sit back and observe 70 percent of people who glady allowed themselves to be compliant, just so they would be allowed to move about freely or what their perception of freedom is...That to me, is not real freedom. But people who bought into taking endless prescription drugs and not take care of their health are now in big trouble. Sadly, many people make this a political issue and choose one party over the other. They cannot see that both parties have the exact same agenda, but do it with different types of propaganda and manipulation to those who can't think for themselves. What shocked me at my age is that so many people are unaware. As we know, those are the ones that are the most dangerous. Those are the people I am distancing myself from.

      Amd I be,I’ve we need to look for that if we decide to leave the modern world. Look for ,Ike indeed people nesr where we want to live. Go Into living off grid and in a particular areas looking for people that we can barter wirh. If there are people in the area you want to live in that raise beef or pigs then you know you need ro do something else , something those people would want to trade for . We need to be thinking aboit not just what we need to sur I’ve but what we can grow, do etc that can be used to trade for the things we don’t have. No one family can do it all, raise it all, provide everything they need. Barter will be the key to survival.
      And finding a community of people…..that’s important…a group,that will be willing to work together , for food, helping each other and for defense .
      And defense will,be important. As the cities fail, because of lawlessness , lack of the comforts they have become used to and the lack of basic necessities, the strong will,pray on the weak , take from the weak . Those that depend on the goverment to provide everything will,be among the first to know of shortages, and then the nonexistajce of resources.
      Those that follow appeasement will,have everything taken from them until they have nothing left for themselves…………
      Those that refuse to believe they need guns to defend themselves will be easy victims for gangs and groups of takers,
      And when the strong groups, the takers, in cities have exhausted the resources, taken everything that’s of value, those takers will move out to the country…..they will be following the idea that there’s food for the taking by hunting, and there are those that moved off grid to take from, as well as people who have stockpiled necessities, the preppers that they willl be activeky hunting for. A preppers stash would be a desirable prize for those kinds of takers.
      So understanding defense, that you WILL have defend your property, your people and your goods from someone , or several someone’s, that want to take it from you by force or trickery is critical. You need a group,of people willing to fight to keep,what they have. Because you don’t know where the takers will attack, you don’t know how many they are and you may not be able to food out what kinds of weapons and skills they will bring to their attempt to take what you have.
      You need to plan for if and how you would take in people. Living off grid and working a homestead takes labor it takes people, so if you are an individual,or a small,family,y our may need more help to make it all woek. Taking in people fleeing at the last Minute from cities, from the lack of resources or from takers could be a way To get that help. Buy how can you trust them? That they will,work in exchange for being part of your group:? How can you know that they aren’t spies sent by someone that has seen what you have and plans to take it?
      And choosing your property and it’s overall location wirh an eye to defense, a “ how can we defend this if takers come “ kind of mentality.
      There is so much more to think about than just finding a good location, building a shelter , getting power and water, and developing a garden and other foos sources like meat animals.

    I enjoyed your chat very much. At almost 57 I would have to agree with you 100%. Several years ago I changed job that allowed me to be off every other week. My weeks off are spent in learning to be a hand tool only homesteader for most work. Sort of like giving up your smart phone. One can hear the world they are working in and you begin to notice nature is in many ways far better than TV. Enjoy your hikes

    I'm so glad that I've always lived in a village. Some cities can be interesting to visit, for a day anyway, but I'm always glad to get home. Also, I work in the next village over and cycle to and from the vast majority of my shifts. In the summer months, I love looking westward across the Fens as I drift along an empty country road and see the houses and conifers in the distance appear as silhouettes against the golden last light of day.

    I agree with you Bjorn, we need to get back to nature and off grid or at least have the capability to if necessary. Twenty years ago I bought a small property in the country, I was previously in an apartment with my large family ,bad spouse and no heat. I knew we didn't belong there, helpless. I raised my family on this little farm, have my ponies around me and it was the best thing ever. Have a woodstove and my hens for eggs( I'm a vegetarian) I'm self employed taking care of people's pets and farms. Not rich but enough to get by. My kids are grown and every one of them can split wood and milk a goat, lol. I love your calm sensible way of talking and being. ❤️

Peace and quiet out in the country. Zero crime. Never see police cars. No noise other than birds and wind and thunder. We are homesteading and making our garden bigger each year. Our plan is to never go to grocery stores again. Grow all our own food like the Amish to get through each year. We have honeybees (3 hives currently, adding 1 new hive each year), ducks, geese, chickens, meat turkeys. We'll eventually add cows for milk and beef, pigs, goats, and sheep for milk and wool. We want horses too, for transportation. We only have 4.5 acres, but there is a lot of land currently not even being used. We have an orchard with cherry, apple, peach, pear, and plum trees, and blackberries, raspberries, grapes, strawberries, and blue berries growing. Plus an herb garden and a flower garden for the bees. Maple trees to tap for syrup. We're literally livin' the dream and society collapses. I retired from the military at 42 and have never turned back. Spending time with my kids everyday. No more living the rat race or punching a time card. We homeschool since all of the public AND private schools have gone woke and are anti-European ("white"). We have guns and ammo to defend our property, family, animals, food. We have a German Shepherd guard dog as our early alert warning system. We will eventually get our hand pump for our well, and a wood burning cook stove. We want to be self-sufficient and off the grid as much as possible.

    I'm with you there.
    I've never more felt more alive, happy, healthy, and content than when I was in the wilderness, surrounded by life and all living things.
    I would go there, or as near as I could go daily.
    (Most of the time, I had to resort to city parks for the daily part.)
    But I always had to work for minimum wage, and I was barely surviving all the time.
    I was always one bad hospital bill away from total collapse, and even a dentist bill could break me.
    I couldn't afford vacations either, but every attempt to save money got sucked away by a car repair, or any kind of emergency.
    I needed what we call a "grub steak" to go into the wilderness, find a place, build a cabin, etc.
    It simply wasn't possible for me and most people, and it faced the additional difficulty of a government determined to get people out of nature and stuffed into cities. People were being arrested in America for collecting rain in a barrel, or selling milk from their cow. There were millions of regulations, and agents eager to enforce them on anyone who tried to occupy any corner of any wilderness.
    They called it Agenda 21, now something like Agenda 2030.
    At some point, I expected them to go killing anyone they found in the wilderness.
    And it is already hard enough to live there.
    They destroy the wilderness too.

    If you guys aren't already growing your own food, enough to survive at least a year, and if you don't have food stored up in your basement to get you through at least a year, you're all probably in big trouble coming soon. Without food, we die. And access to clean water. We are already seeing shortages at the grocery store and prices skyrocketing through the roof. Plus gas to drive to the grocery store is off the charts. They've been telling us this is coming for years. I guess people have not been listening or paying attention. We have been and are still not fully ready, but we are getting there with our homestead. Many countries to include the USA have had their leaders come right out and tell us recently that a food shortage is coming. Again, if you cannot find food and you are not growing it, you're going to die...unless you have some kind neighbors willing to share, but then they could die by helping you. This is serious. This is real. Toilet paper shortage. Now baby formula shortage. All of these "random" accidents where entire warehouses of food, chickens, etc. just burn to the ground (1 even hit by an airplane). 10,000 cattle died this week in Kansas. Imagine how much beef that could've become and how many people it would've fed. Is this all planned? If you aren't connecting the dots, not sure what to tell you. The "enemy's" plan is depopulation to save the planet, and they call it climate change or green this and that. They want people to die. They do not hide their thoughts. It's in their speeches at their conferences. We have been going to the grocery store and each time the shelves have less and less in every aisle. Entire sections wiped out and completely empty. It's obvious what's coming. We have enough to survive maybe a half year or more. Many of you, I believe, might not even have enough to last a month. This is a major problem. Please wake up and then help educate those around you.

    Life's not perfect, but being off-grid isn't, unless you're still financially wealthy in that life. Wind turbines can burn out in sudden storms, and storage batteries don't last forever. Rodents compete to eat your roots, seeds and grains. Anyone who uses catch&release traps has never had a whole season's root veg destroyed in a few days. Tarps and sacks get drilled through by voles, while mice destroy roof insulation and wiring. Stoats and mink make chicken rearing impossible.

    The last two years have been eye-opening for me, this coincided with my mid-life crisis which resulted in a major awakening to what reality and life are. All the religions say this: Life is an Illusion, Samsara, call it as you will but the wise have said it time and time again. This is not an invitation to passivity because everything is dispair but to a reorientation towards within. For 20 odd years I worked like a horse to gain more and have more and for what? For a job title? a house/flat in a crowded city? a dinner in a restaurant? these are just distractions from the real journey of life, the one towards the within. Our longing for journeys and adventure cannot be achieved by everyone, I also wanted to sail the world, to reach South Pole, to become a cosmonaut when I was a child but we can't all do this because what we truly long for is our interior. So in my early 40s my only purpose now is to know myself and try to live a life that will make the Great Passing when I'll be old and frail, way easier. My grandma' had such a life and when she passed away, unlike many dead people she seemed asleep, calm and bright. She is my model for becoming a better person.

      Librarians are like wizards. They can help you transform your life.
      I’ve been collecting books so I’ll have a library off grid to share.

    I'm 74 years young and could not agree with you more. I have directed my life in a manner of adventure and loving nature as a way of life. I have very little in material possessions... I failed to make choices of putting my earnings aside. As a single mother of three I thought I was making good choices of living a life as a good example but did not prepare my life for what we are facing now in our modern world. My children are all in their 40's and fifties and I have four grandchildren. They are living their life as they see it through their individual lens of life. I love that you are walking the walk and not just talking the talk !

    I completly hear what you are saying. I turn on my phone for 2 half hours a day, respond to messages and calls that are important. Turn my phone off. No TV, have a radio. We are too suckled by electronic means of being. I hear you. I as well am getting back to the noisy quietness of nature as fully as I can. Blessings on your journey♥️

    Thinking about how to mentally phase one out from the "nothingness". I think you can reach a lot if you are just aware of what is important in your life, to be selective on where you put your energy. My job sometimes drains me of energy and its just numbers and finance, but it has some advantages also, it paves the way in a practical way for my dreams and moments out there in the field where my dreams and thoughts are in harmony. 46 yrs old now, share your thoughts on things in this video.

    I worked in hospice and it was my patients who encouraged me to follow my dream of full time RVing. We took the leap and don't regret it a bit. Not out of the matrix completely but closer than ever! And being in nature has been very healing.

    Not sure of the "right" word, but Congrats! You have it figured out and know what you need to do. There are many who never figure it out. We are on grid at the moment, but no microwave, TV or dishwasher etc. It's still too much. Enjoy the sound of the trees. I say I will know when I arrive at the right place when there is no song but nature's stuck in my head.

    I feel the same as you. My dilemma is, how do I unplug when my spouse is still very much in love with the system. It’s very frustrating to live with someone and two kids that will not wake up and join me in leaving this corrupt system behind. So, I just do what I can to prepare for what is coming. Unfortunately it’s going to be a big “I told you so” moment, when my family is starving and have nowhere to turn but to the NWO to for provision.

      I hear you. I'm in the same predicament. My family think I'm mad and a conspiracy theorist. Thankfully my son listened to me about the vaccines, but husband and daughter have taken three each. I'm.doing what I can to prepare mentally and I'm stockpiling food quietly.
      I wish you all the best.

      It's all done by design, decades in the making. People have grown accustomed to their cage. To love their own self created prisons. Only few of us have realized how the system actually enslaves us to be rhe perfect consumers.

    Thanks Bjorn, you took the words right outa my mouth
    I think it's important to say to young people to learn and practice everything you can towards going back to nature and taking care of animals, saving seeds for food, growing your own timber to build a cabin, or build a plastic bottle house, finding a spring and tapping it for clean water, worm and sawdust composting toilet, solar power storage system, fruit tress and vegetable crops to eat and barter, some have built a plastic bottle boat for fishing in calmer bays, acquire some remote off grid land as soon as possible and keep learning.
    Collectively we can get outa the matrix. Imagine if every person on the planet planted just 1 tree, there would be billions more trees to suck up the carbon and start to help climate change. I think that taking out trees has been one of our biggest exposures.
    People who know how to do these things could do weekly classes to teach the children some basics to get them going, then later, they can teach. We need to pass all this down, it's getting lost fast.
    Sometimes when I talk to people about this, they look at me as if I have grown an extra nose on my face!!
    When things all fall apart, what will they do??!!

    Bjorn, I think that what you have done is amazing and if you decide to go off grid (internet) to be the individual you’ve always intended on being and the father and husband you’ve always intended on being,… that is awesome and heartbreaking to all of us. Yet, what you have provided us as viewers is immeasurable.

    This video speaks volumes… I enjoyed it very much. It speaks to my very soul. My husband & I worked on our little tiny cabin on the Big Island until he became ill with a rare cancer. We came back to the mainland, sadly, because he needed full oxygen. I miss our life there…so very very much. It was just the very best way for us to have lived, even if only for a short while… will never ever forget my time there, in the rain forest with nature all around. I am trying to find my way now ….back to a simple, quiet & peaceful life.
