Fellow is Canadian, he and the wife decided to go off grid. Here is their story on UToob. Very interesting off grid homestead on 40 AC near Benson AZ. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb0s0qC96lCcx2pO2za6mcw FWIW, I found a property nearby (38 ac) with a well in place and electric to site - for $138K. To an Alaskan this is just over pocket change for this size accessible property with water. Everything else is just desert.... If nothing else it will make for a good afternoon binge watch of how some Gen (whatevers) still work hard for what they want.
