Livin' off the land.

As some of you may now know, I've moved to Garden Valley, California, to help my mother with some things and to start my dream of livin' off the land. At this point, I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it has something to do with stepping out of the commercial distribution of food, making it on my own as much as I can off the land I'm provided with, and simplifying my existence. (Very existential I know!)

The dream may very well have begun when, during law school, I moved back from Boston Massachusetts to sunny California, a state in which the land provides us with so much bio diversity. I know my dream materialized more definitely during my first trip to Whitethorn, California, seeing first hand what can be done with land to call your own.

Not for nothing, my extensive travels to major cities all across the globe also must have nudged me to find an existence not in the world's metropolises but on its fringes, in places where nature flourishes and it is said people grow from the salt of the earth.

This blog was created upon receiving the wonderful gift of 30 ties on my 30th birthday, and wanting to share my life and the ties with those I loved. And so, it's fitting this blog evolve to share my experiences with trying to live off the land in Garden Valley, California.

Look forward to more posts as inspiration comes. Love, Ryan.
