When we began our real estate investing business, our lives became a "How To" story on that. We believed we had discovered an awesome vehicle for creating income and wanted to share it with everyone. As we moved into resort ownership, we became a "How To" story on resort ownership and operations. We had discovered a new way of combining income with resort lifestyle and wanted to share it with everyone. As we edge closer to "Pre-Retirement" (or something like that)....... maybe......., we decided to begin simplifying life and create a more enjoyable, secluded and peaceful setting and lifestyle for ourselves. YES, I know, our videos look anything but simple, or peaceful. Maybe secluded, but not simple. Nevertheless, our new experiences at "Camp Run-Amuck" is becoming a "How To" of building a "Do-It-Yourself" homestead/off-grid type of lifestyle. One that's proving to be more relaxing and peaceful than really anything else we've ever done.
As our focus had already shifted from the day-to-day resort business, so will the focus of this blog, as well as other media we've come to use over the years. With both the real estate investing as well as all the resorts we owned, there was always two common threads present in our decisions. The first was our willingness to step outside the box (and our comfort zone) and try something really different. The second common thread was all of the family and friends that looked at us with a skeptical, wary eye about our decision. Some even voiced their "concern" over whether we had driven the truck right over the edge of the cliff or not!
Our attraction to the simple lifestyle we are embarking on is not new. We've played with many of the ideas over the years including gardening, canning, building a greenhouse, sawmilling, camping off-grid in the woods and so on. (The list is bigger than you would probably believe) We see life now as an open canvas to pursue much of that on a larger and more meaningful scale. We know, in many respects, how to live a more frugal life and we know how to be an example to those maybe too afraid to take steps into the unknown. As we are currently experiencing unprecedented increases in costs across the board in everything, a self-sufficient mindset and lifestyle will be the answer to many (not all) but many people trying to make it comfortably through this season. We are okay being a small example of how to create "Do-It-Yourself" solutions in day-to-day life. Our intention in life has NEVER been to just survive. We believe there is room to thrive in no matter what the world throws at us. Even the things that are seemingly beyond our control.
