What's this?

Lives a very remote lifestyle --->


Have about a 1hr drive to get groceries/gas/Walmart, etc. I also have to haul water (500 gal at a time) to my home. I mainly WFH, except for a couple weeks/month I go to my office (3 hour drive) or to travel (2.5 or 3 hours to airport depending on which one).

I have gas guzzling vehicles, I will work hard to combine all shopping/water trips together to max 1/week or with trips to office/airport. Gas guzzlers since I have a difficult road to access my place (4 miles and 1800 ft elevation change of dirt) and I need a 3/4 ton truck to haul water.

We also live in the middle of some beautiful Rocky Mountains...I wont be taking as many "let's go for a ride" trips.

Price of paradise.
