It started as a tired joke between two overwhelmed parents: “What if we just… left?” But over the next three years, they did. Slowly, they walked away from jobs, bills, and expectations, trading it all for a quiet patch of wild land.
Life off-grid was tough—freezing winters, rainwater collection, mice—but it was theirs. They grew food, learned the land, and found meaning in the stillness.
A blog post about their journey went viral, then came a documentary. Their story struck a nerve. They built a small guest cabin, The Reboot, for others craving peace. One visitor said, “It’s the first time I’ve felt useful in years.”
When their son got sick, they plugged back in—adding internet for telehealth and joining a homeschool group. The dream wasn’t to disappear, but to find a better balance.
