An off-grid cabin in the woods is the dream of a lot of people... but what is it really like to live in a tiny cabin with no running water and a house full of people?

How hard is it really?

Is the off-grid dream worth it?

Join me for a conversation with Chad and Naomi Maynard who sold everything and left the trappings of modern life behind to chase that dream. We'll talk about what it's really like to live off grid with no running water, kids, goats, chickens, and pets in a small cabin in the deep woods of Upper Peninsula Michigan.

Follow along on their journey on their YouTube channel- 9252 Life off Grid:
