A Truly Remote Homestead
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in the wilderness? Well in 1999, after years of homesteading in Northern Maine, we decided to find out. Our pursuit of a wilderness homesite led us to Northern Saskatchewan where we have established a remote homestead on a lake in the wilds of Canada. Because there are no roads in or out of our location, we are accessible only by float plane and are truly on our own. We fly to town twice a year for supplies. These bi-annual trips to town are our only chance to send and receive mail and see other people. When we are home, we may not see another soul for 6 months at a time.
