83 year old Al's got it goin' on with his homemade plum wine. He builds a fire under his outdoor tub, has a glass of wine and does his laundry whilst bathing - genius.


Lasqueti is a secret Canadian island where the vast majority of residents are completely off-grid

Lasqueti is a small island between Vancouver and Vancouver Island, home to a little known community of off-gridders who take pride in their isolation from both mainstream culture and mainland Canada. In this short documentary film, a journalist from 16×9 News goes to meet some of Lasqueti’s characters and find out more about life on this beautiful land that time forgot.

With very little industry or economy, most of the residents live simply, taking what they need from the land and having next to no carbon footprint (and little need for money). The 2011 census recorded 426 people living in Lasqueti, who meet up to socialize in the island’s (one) bar and cafe.

Lasqueti also has a free store, where people can leave or collect items without any monetary exchange. Just one hour by boat from Vancouver island, Lasqueti doesn’t have a tourist industry, booming economy or any industry to speak of, but those who live there say that they enjoy the sense of timelessness, community, and freedom that their home provides.

I could totally see you thriving in a place like that and with your skill set, you would help make the community even more spectacular than it already is.

I lived in a commune back in the '70's that was quite similar..

I'd have no trouble at all.
