So I did something pretty impulsive back in 2021 when everything felt crazy. I bought 40 acres of raw land in northern Idaho through an online auction. Figured worst case it would be a good investment, best case I’d have my own little piece of wilderness to escape to someday. Well, ““someday”” turned into ““now”” after I got laid off last month. Instead of panicking about finding another corporate job, I decided this might be the perfect time to actually build something on the property and try living off-grid for a while. Maybe it’s a midlife crisis, maybe it’s finally growing a backbone, but I’m here now with a truck full of my stuff, my old motorcycle for getting around the property, and no real plan.
