In 2006 Survivorman Les Stroud documented his family's move from their urban home in Ontario, CA (very much on-the-grid) to renovating a century-old farmhouse and outbuildings in the Canadian backcountry, miles and miles away from any wired utilities or even year round road access. The documentary ran on the Outdoor Life Network (OLN) and is archived to watch online here.After you watch this, watch Snowshoes & Solitude, Stroud's 1994 year-long jaunt into the Canadian wilderness, living for a year in a handmade shelter with his wife and by their wits.
