This guy is simply bad-ass. Living on $5k a year!? Damn:
Many people ask him if living off the grid is challenging, and he shrugs it off.
“It’s a challenge realizing how awesome it is every morning,” he says. “That’s about it. It’s kind of funny. A lot of times people have these ideas that it’s somehow more difficult, that life is harder or something…. My life is a lot more fun and interesting. I wouldn’t say it’s easier. I do have to go out and cut firewood to put in the wood stove in the winter, but I don’t have to do some job I hate to pay for a utility to heat my house. So it’s a tradeoff, and I happen to like this way a lot more. In the city you pay a lot of other people to do stuff, and here you just do it yourself. And I’d rather just do it myself.”
Of course, part of the way he'll be making his future income is from royalties on the invention of non-mustachian consumer goods like "Attacknids", battle toy robots.
