I wonder how I may be used to wake up in the morning. I wake up usually in the evening, when it is dark.

I wake up whenever I have to go to work, which can be 3 am, 2 am, 4 am, 10 am, 1 am, etc

Or watch the sunset, get up, and live in the wilderness LOL

I'm not really a wilderness person. :wink: I have been camping but not in a long time. I think it's ok for a short time but not for the long term.

It's not a big problem if you know the place where to take a shower + you can get water on every petrol station or use a water filter if you have a lake/river nearby
Do you understand "off the grid" means no petrol station. Canada is COLD!

When I was typing the message, @TheSuicidalEccentric already said what I wanted to say. I once lived in a half-abandoned summerhouse with no running water. It was not a big problem. The bigger problem was in the case if it was very cold to wash the body (there was no heating).

It is practically spring now and the snow is melting. We are not even going until maybe one or two months. You don't need RUNNING water or a bathroom (squat in the woods, use toilet paper we bring or leaves, and hand sanitizer).

You seem to be too accustomed to society
No, I'm just accustomed to creature comforts. This has nothing to do with me. I have no desire to kick it off the grid. I'm trying to talk some sense into the naive. Mentally and possibly physically sick, out living in the wilderness. Wake up feeling sick in a freezing cold bed or a burning hot tent on a summer day on the ground and just need a nice,soft bed and a warm meal. Wiping your ass with leaves and wishing to God you never came, depending on someone else to take care of them because they're stuck out somewhere with no money and no survival skills and no communication device. Good lord, these kids can't live one day with out their phone and you want them to join you off grid?

We will easily solve the heating issues with fire too
I mean if you heat the water and take a shower when it is 14-18C it is very cold, but just a temporary discomfort.
If it is below 14C outside the tent, it is a huge discomfort first, it will take some time to get used to it.

That was long ago. I live in a small room now and it is usually 12-16C here when not heated.

What country was that in? like what temperature was the air? And where did you get food/water? not just for eight or ten days but for months at a time!

Sorry, I won't say the country. The temperature was different. There were days when the temperatures were falling to -5C and once -8C. I was sleeping with a jacket and two blankets then. And there were days when it was 30C meaning the summerhouse on the second floor was turning into sauna (windows on west side).
There was a well with a very cold and yellowish water used for shower, and water for drinking I could buy in the shop in several miles. As long as I did not have money, I was buying the cheapest cereal they had. I was eating that cereal long enough, after 2 months I found a job and after 3 moved.
