The Boonies

On the edge of the world, even the most solitary must rely on a few trusted allies to endure. For those who choose this life, a little help can go a long way.

Life off the grid provides freedom, but that independence doesnt come easy. Whether its finding food, stocking the medicine cabinet, or battling the elements, life in the Boonies requires a daily dose of sweat and blood.

Outside the grid, nothing is given and everything must be earned. Ones existence is built from the ground up with two hands, blood, and sweat. The work is hard, but for those who choose this path, a job well done means a life well lived.

As temperatures drop, those outside the grid prepare for the toughest time of year. Joe Ray makes his annual visit to town to stockpile winter resources. Doc and Jeanny Leverett prepare for indoor confinement for Jeanny due to a rare allergy to the cold. Bear Claw heads for the protection of his winter camp. Dan Burton is on a mission to fill his freezer to help his family make it through the winter.
