I have lived for more than 30 years as a Wilderness Dweller. Most of that time was in cabins I built myself far from the nearest road, high in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. My "retirement" home is accessible by a bush road but still far from neighbours. I live off the grid, and operate this blog by solar-powered satellite internet.

At the end of the baking day, two more wwoofers arrived. Rob and Laura are Canadian; they have just finished a course on Chinese medicine, and Rob is a Feldenkrais practitioner. Good news for my aching knees!

Every spring I try and walk all the trails and cut out brush and windfalls.

First we walked around the lake. Here are the Grants crossing the biggest of the 7 bridges I have built.
