#HCHQ
In 2008, Daryl and I bought remote ranchland in British Columbia, Canada. Between our travels and projects abroad, we've built a simple log cabin and used new and emerging technology to create a modern, sustainable, off-grid homestead.
Our cabin and office are powered by a series of 6 solar panels and 8 batteries. We have wood heat and seasonal gravity-fed spring water. We collect drinking water from a glacier creek. The closest supermarket is a 3 hour drive, so our garden and root cellar are key amenities.
High speed broadband internet reaches our cabin through a series of mountaintop towers and repeaters, running completely from wind and solar energy. Connectivity has changed the game.
The contrast of a highly mobile, international career and building our own home deep in the wilderness has created a rich life and work experience. We are able to write and create global projects from our nature-based headquarters without the pressure of large overheads.
This is modern, creative living.
