getting ready for early retirement,selling my home this fall and im dead serious about moving north,hopefully going off the grid.

im either looking for a remote,private wilderness year round trailer park or a lot on a 4 season road,on or very near water....id like to get a travel trailer for my first couple years.then upgrade to a cabin that is off grid...id love to start with a small off grid package to power my trailer,a package i can later upgrade when i build a cottage.ideally,i would like to be in an unorganized township for low taxes and no need for permits.i would possibly consider taking over a lease of the crown from someone



does anyone have any info on real estate,rv parks,off grid systems or help with any of my questions/.i would certainly appreciate any info



i find myself feeling excitement i have not felt since i was a young man!its very welcome feeling!!!lol

Unorganised townships are your friend, a lot of building inspectors in small rural northern communities aren't as open to sustainable, off grid, green building techniques.

I spent a summer living off grid in Pense township (no electricity, pulling water from a well, outdoor gravity fed shower, woodstove, etc) and it's a great lifestyle if you like working hard and don't mind bugs. Every month there's a new one that seems to be worse then the last, sand flies were what drove me crazy. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions, if I don't know the answer my friend will as he plans to move up there in a year or two to retire.

I'd certainly try to scoop a powerwall. You don't want to go without a hook into civilization.
