Living Beyond Off-Grid - Real Life On The Rez

- There are people who live in America who don't have many of the basic things that many of us do: running water, electricity, a toilet, a refrigerator and much more. I delve beneath the surface to find out what life is really like on the Navajo Nation. There's a darkness behind the doors of the simple shelters that these residents call home: alcoholism, violence, drugs, domestic abuse, child molestation and so on. See and hear what really goes on from the people who live it.

This almost made me cry, I also grew up with alcoholic parents.. the aggression, name calling, abuse.. "you're not even my kid, I wish I didn't have you, you're useless" are just some of the lines you hear on the daily along with flicking cigarette in my face.. the morning was my favorite because that's when I got to talk to my real mother & got love.
To this day no booze is allowed in my home or near me & my kids.. I told my man/kids father if he drinks he's Gone & will never see us again.. I don't play about booze.. I'll instantly walk away. My kids will NOT have my childhood.
Both my parents are dead as of 2023, I'm proud to say that my parents died sober although detox made my moms heart too weak & made it impossible to do cpr. ( She got sober for my kids) My father died from skin cancer, he wasn't drinking then either as he was in the hospital.. I forgive them as they each had their own childhood trauma they were running from, maybe in another life we can be a happy family ❤️
"hold fast to what is fine "! (1Thess.5 :21) which it sounds like you've been doing all your life. Good on ya!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes we as Indigenous peoples are resilient ❤
My mother grew up like that. Became a teetotalee and did much better for us. Still abusive "only a mother could love you" turned into discovering she was not my mother. She and my dad married and brought one child each. She taught me gardening and other skills though.
😭💔
I wish I could hug this lady and absorb the pain and get rid of it for her. She has a lot of pain still with her. She's a beautiful soul.
agree
Tanner springs Arizona Navajo land here 🙏😭 God bless you brother for spreading awareness for our people everybody's people were all family
You are very welcome! It's a story that should be told.
He's spreading awareness but he's also profiting from it. He should not
I bet we will be the last survivors of this great planet! Natives. I'm just proud of you ladies! Don't feel sorry for yourself! Proud of you!!
Makes sense
Like people hear you life story
I also think we will still be here after all that will happen..
I think we will be the last ones too. Resilient people.
I too will survive, as well as the few who will listen & believe what I teach about survival is worth know & the how too.
The government will not help (they won't be able to), so we must recall our elders & ancestors teachings, NOW. 😊❤
The Resilience of the human spirit is a marvel. These Ladies have Well water, chicken eggs (protein!) Sheep (milk) home grown fruits and veggies--their own homestead!t Incredibly resourceful, I respect it ❤. They beat us for diet.
Focus on present/future, these Ladies will prevail!
then I wonder why they dont look fit and healthy
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Such a nice assortment of fruits and vegetables. Spring water. Sure what they have or don't is different than a lot of folks. But wow, just wow at what all they do have. The ability to be self reliant; a lot of folks wouldn't have a clue how to live a humble life.
Listen to the old lady. She got tears in her eyes as she talked about how hard if was for her growing up. I don't think it's right to idealize that life.
@@user-zb7uh2ob1r She shed sad tears for what they as children endured, not idolizing.
@@user-zb7uh2ob1r I'm not idealizing the way of life. More impressed with the resourcefulness, the strength.
(Getting water in the desert or out of rocks can't be easy.)
One of my parents was an alcoholic also. I remember my parent passing out driving my brothers and I home, and my older brother scooted over and sat in front of my parent and drove the El Camino the rest of the way home. We lived in the country, and we were on the back roads for most of the way. My brother was 8 or 9 years old. My little brother was always trying to start the car or the tractor... before he was even 5 years old because he wanted to drive, my mother had to put all the keys up. And we would sometimes have to help irrigate by slowly driving the truck on the dirt road on our property, around the field as my father walked and put out the pipe or got the stopped pipe going again. So, right away, I identified when the story of the children having to drive was spoken about. And I think all of us who grew up with an alcoholic parent on some level identify with one another, as we have a shared background. Where you live is beautiful, thank you to all of you for sharing your experiences and history in the video.
yes 💗
So sorry this family’ had to go through so much in their lives. I am proud of them and don’t even know them personally. Blessings to them all 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
🌟 Rockhopper , Thank You so very much for this heartfelt video on our Diné. 🦅🌅🙏🏽
I appreciate your interaction with kindness & respect towards our Diné. 🦅🌄
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting!
I have only watched half so far, but what an absolutely amazing video... and amazing at how clueless I was as I've learned so much! Thank you for enlightening me about the Dinè ppl and showing a glimpse into their lives past-present! I am truly sorry what this family went through as children! I never see that part of the US, and it is really impressive, just beautiful💯 🫡
The spil os sandy
Soil is sandy. Hard to grow.
I don't want to change😢. I'm more closer to my ancestors that way! We are survivors! Strong tribes!
What?
@@ipomoeaalba936 everyone having easy life paves the way for weak communities.
That was beautiful and so interesting!!! What kind and strong people. We all find a way to survive.
I bet you like theory land more 😂
Those “stones” in the sweat lodge are called GrandFathers! The ceremony is so good. The medicines they use on the grandfathers, the music. Doesn’t even seem 4 hours long. Symbolizes rebirth. ❤ I love my culture
Found your channel tonight, I would love to hear more about this community and sweat lodges, etc. Very interested in Native American cultures. By the way, from Indiana
I love her set up and I would feel so blessed to have that space to grow food and small livestock ❤ You're doing great auntie ❤️ 😊
I currently live in an Australian Indigenous community where alcohol is still creating trauma in children's lives. There are many positive things about this community also.
I love the people here, and they have taught me many things.
Earlier today a utility full of 20 people past us in the bush on the way out to their country to go fishing. The Baramundi are huge tasty fish that can come up to my waist.
❤️🖤💛
Didn't your people kill the aboriginals 😂 youre disgusting tbh
Thank you for sharing 🌿🌾🌷
Wow! The only thing i know about the Dineh people, i learned from watching a beautiful lady on her youtube channel called Navajo Grandma. That was the first time i learned that they dont have electric or other things we take for granted. Thank you for sharing these peoples stories. Im amazed at their resilience and the strength they still have! I know who is going to be winning the game if the lights go out in the rest of the so called "civilized " world! It wont be me! It makes me ashamed, sometimes, to think about how weak and dependent weve allowed ourselves to become. Im also ashamed that not a lot of people seem to care about the poverty some are living in! Ok, on a happier note, i loved hearing about the fun times all the cousins had, swimming in the pond. All the innocent games the neglected and abused kids made up. Im amazed at the 3 year olds that had to drive the truck home when the parents were passed out! These are TRUE survivors! They dont need our pity, for sure. They probably COULD benefit from their story being shared. I believe that with knowledge and understanding comes compassion and help (in a good way). ❤
Precious little children. I learned from my own, (I’m a mutt, haha) children even very young they can do things we never thot they could.
Dear Diné, I am so sorry for all ur people have suffered. So proud of u for all u have risen above. Strong & proud.
I am many backgrounds, but most proud of my Native American heritage, Cherokee & Choctaw plus several different European ancestors. Like I said, I’m a mutt.
Thanku so much for sharing ur stories.
Dine' and Navajo are the same people, Navajo being the name the white man gave them, dine' is their name meaning the people, not all dine' live this way, they occupy most every socioeconomic strata, I had a dine' fiance until he was murdered by his own people driving to his parents house across the rez, late at night, broke my heart, he was a very educated man, he was an engineer and physicist, worked in and around Alamogordo and white sands
@@bethewalt7385Navajos are their own worst enemy,my father was murdered by his younger brother when I was 11,sorry for your loss
I bet these people survive no matter what happens in America ❤❤❤
What an honor,for you beautiful lady's to share ....and the location,gorgeous...and all the fruits..fresh water....oh my.....I'd love a view like that....and the freedom....
Thanks for sharing...
I love and respect the Navajo Nation.
My first friend little Mae she went to work with her family outside the Grand Canyon at a Lodge. That was many years ago. Beautiful Real People.
Thank you for posting! Beautiful survivors! Its OUTRAGEOUS what our government did to them. So much respect! I'd love her jewelry!
🧡 I Agree with u,, it's OUTRAGEOUS & SHAMEFUL what & how treated by government...
They knew how to live with Nature & government destroyed there way of life & took that away & gave houses & alcohol & cruel boarding schools,, no wonder the parents drunk there sorrows away,, the government took there lifetimes away...
I would luv to live there free spirited life...
I would also love the jewelery...
Divine Love...
You can't blame your government for everything.... sometimes personal responsibility enters in. I'm talking about the adults.... not children...... maybe the government didn't see thier stone age existence in a positive light???
Beautiful place,love the gardens and fruit trees. I would enjoy that lifestyle. Thanks for sharing.
Probably you may not be able to tolerate it w/o elec.
😂 naw you wouldn't last.
Many people are choosing a similar lifestyle these days..
I think you would be born into this life to survive and be content.
Native American history is so rich and beautiful.
The way that Native Americans and American Natives are treated is a crying shame!
they made most of their problem. there are also the other side of natives, who got an education..or a good job and live the same as anyone else in the US
@@leesadoe2440If you don't have anything nice to say; then don't say anything at all.
@@leesadoe2440 I don’t think u know much abt the Native American people. To this day they are not treated right. Read Bury Amy Heart at Wounded Knee. Things are NOT as u think for them. I also suspect that the parents who turned to drink may have done that to flee from the pain of having their children taken away from them. Then they were trapped in alcoholism.
✌️❤
@@leesadoe2440 before you speak bad be thankful you don't have to live this life. Humble yourself.
My grandmother lives this kind of life. Best part of it. No debt. No worries about rude people like you.
@@marydposey lost you are
Beautiful people,beautiful land
Thank you for sharing your story
❤
Hi this was a great show and to have natural water running on your property is a bonus I for one have that on my property as well natural springs and they can't do anything to him you can't ruin him you can't hide them you can't get rid of them and I am of the Yakima nation, we need to get the young people involved in the growing of the food wanting to be there doing it for future generations
Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you all so much for this visit. ❤
I'm so sorry helen,you had to go thru bad times with your parents, I hope your happy now😢❤
I really enjoyed this video
I hate alcohol and what it has done to many family's.
It breaks my heart knowing that the true natives of America are living a life of poverty!
How are we living in their land and they have to live in such conditions?????? America is fucked.
Wait till government contracts and BLACK ROCK steals your home.... Resistance is a Blessing
They could get a job and buy A home? The world owes nothing
@@cherylliston3284 That is the way a cold world operates. It feels no accountability, no responsibility. It just takes what it wants and doesn’t look back. And ultimately this system destroys itself thank God.
@@cherylliston3284 If only you knew of what you speak. There are no jobs but mostly gvr'mnt on their rez. The distances they have to drive for work are crazy. I'll not be unkind in response but, you do not speak from having any understanding Cheryl. I do not say this from having no knowledge of their daily existence. I've spent a lot of time with some of them.
@@cherylliston3284 they were already living very successful,had the land to live off ,this is where their livelihood was.
I grew up in Albuquerque 1/2 block from Rt 66. I was entranced by the Navajo ladies on the bus in their voluminous shirts, kaibab boots and layers of silver and turquoise jewelry. I learned later she was going to do her shopping for the family.
My first boyfriend was Navajo. I remember his name. I was 10 in 1966.
BTW my brother was left handed and the nuns would strike his hand with a ruler to force him to write with his right hand.
Small world.
My Gr Mom was a nurse at the Fort Defiance Hospital when the US gvt did tests on Native Americans for a cure to tuberculosis, using various antibiotics, during and after WW2.
So many more stories.
His name is Beautiful. Trust Him aways. Ye' shuah Son of Yah. Blessings + O
My third grade teacher tied my left hand to the back of the desk chair, and forced me to write with my right hand. I was made to stay in during recess to practice. The pain is gone, but the memory is not even after 59 years. Forgiving that teacher took a lot of time. When I did forgive her, I did it for myself
Wow! This was super interesting. Thank you for putting this all together. And the sweet people you interviewed. This was sweet, sad, inspiring. So many emotions watching this. I feel like I could sit and talk to them all day. And give them all a big hug. That was some tough life. 😢 Dispite it all. They are strong.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your comment!
Incredible... thank you.
You should post an address so we can send them things to make their life easier. We also need a list of supplies they want and need.
I posted her address in the description box. I'm not sure what is needed but I'm sure anything is appreciated.
Ahhhh, the gentle memories of life on the Rez. Cop and squat, glossy magazines is a no go for toilet paper and crumpled newspapers work so well. (Nettle not so great, but sometimes Indians play harsh tricks on the younger ones.) Coyotes, and other animals with red eyes & yellow eyes watching you in the middle of the night as your trying to do your business outside. Tell you what, you pull your pants on with a quickness when you hear things moving in the night. It can get messy. lol Buckets of water heating on the stove, if you were one of the lucky ones to be able to afford propane. Neighbors, coming by your home demanding bologna sandwiches. Such memories.
Yup,,,,your reality based…lots of silly comments from silly clueless people …
4 more years of democrats will all be living like this..with the political elites telling us how good we got it….
I think we're all fixing to be like this !!! But I love living like this. No Bill's no electric bill no gas bills. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful what amazing ladies, their home is amazing 👏 🤩 ❤️ 💖
Such humble and simple people. I love my people
Hi i just seen your channel today and i subscribed my grandma and grandpa were navajo from new mexico last name is abeyta...thank you for your videos im happy i find you
Thanks for the new sub! I'm glad you found me.
@@rockhopperadventureshow can I buy jewelry from Juanita. I'm in Texas. Ty
@@sarahfitby6027 I messaged and am trying to look into this.
I couldn't get an address for Juanita but there's Helen's address in the description box. She makes jewelry too.
When I saw the fry bread being made it brought back memories. I used to work in Lawton Oklahoma which is Comanche county. They’ve made fry bread tacos once a week and they were the best. I wish I could go back in time. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
At least they have water or they could never survive or plant gardens etc etc
God bless these precious & resilient people. May he keep them in the palm of His hand..❤❤
Thank you for doing this video. The slower pace of life, living intentionally,living in nature with nature is a good thing.I could definitely live there and be an asset. I have an acre and half homestead in the woods. For yrs I hauled water in a 55 gal drum and used a 12 v transfer pump to move it. I used a sawdust bucket, built outdoor shower stall. Cut my firewood for my wood burner. And I love gardening. What I am missing is the sense of community. No man or woman is an island. We all need to have community to share the loads, burdens and good fruitful times.
I used my utility sink with a bucket under it for sink. And at one time I used a 150gal black plastic animal watering trough. Hung a camping shower bag up high and hung shower curtains around it. 3 gallons is plenty of water to shower with. Summer time I put shower bag outside to heat up. Winter time I heated water in a big pot on my wood stove. We really don't need a whole lot to live. My cabin is tucked under a heavy canopy of trees. A fan works fine. The rock drawings are really neat.
She could put a solar water system on the roof. Or stretch out or put some black pipe coiled up outside in the sun and fill the pipe with water early in the morning.
Love the sweat lodge. My friend was adopted into Lakota people and he does drumming and holds the lodges. The fire is outside, put 28 rocks in fire to heat up. 7 at a time would be brought in. We used cedar and sweet grass to breathe in if it got too hot or laid our faces onto cool mother earth. The direction of the lodge opening was important. The entrance to the fire pit was important. I really really enjoyed the experience and community of the sweats. It's done as a community. Collecting wood, setting up, bring a dish for a meal afterwards. Bring a gift for the one holding the lodge.
Thank you for sharing that with everyone!
Love there field of crops , life is hard on the Rez but it's home....Thanks for sharing
God bless them iam so sorry for all the heart ace you went threw. It makes me angery they take your land your kids and you have to go threw so much someone should of helped .God bless you with good health and happiness and safety
The Hopi live on top of the mesa. They also are like taking a step back in time. In one of the villages that I went to see their dance they haul their water from a spring and have out houses. You could see where they did dry farming. It is amazing.
Yes many years ago the children went to boarding schools. They weren't supposed to speak their own language. The boarding schools had many different tribes going to school together and sharing dorms. They didn't have much choice back then. But also if you think about it. It was the only way to be able to teach them all. Today most boarding schools are closed. But their is still some open. Where young children still go to every year.
There is electricity on most reservations but not everyone of that reservation has it. Either by choice or because they live where the electricity doesn't reach.
Much love to "the people", the Dine, the survivors of this beautiful land. I am full of admiration for your tenacity in your fight for survival under these very difficult circumstances. I am full of empathy (your pain in my heart) for the suffering you have endured. May you survive and thrive. Look to our heavenly Creator for wisdom, and call out to Him for it. Proverbs 2: 1-5.
Diné
😂 naw bro, you just want to make yourself feel better.
@@kirbygulbrandsen4507 the language police always at it
Very strong n beautiful ppl, the women are amazing 😍🤩 n family stay together, God Bless Y'all Family,
This reminds me of my grandma. A Mexican native sharecropper. Single mom with 3 kids. Living in a goat stall converted into a tiny apartment with a dirt floor. No plumbing or running water. I think about her every day. This video reminds me so much of her. God bless you all.❤
So lucky not to be connected to this insanity we call civilization. Blessings from central Arizona.
Heartbreaking for the Children! It scares you for life when you are a child abused and neglected, treated badly 😢
Damn the government for letting our first people to be treated like this. It is a shame, the US sends billions and billions of dollars across the world but the natives get nothing. There are many reservations that live like this and worse. Breaks my heart…
Absolutely Amazing, strong people. True spirits of the earth,
It's curious how we're so shocked to see people living the same way they have been for millenia. They are blessed with water and one another and will be here when we've died out leaving only plastic and toxic metals.
Agree. I find it odd that we don't make infrastructure that allows life beyond "civilization" collapse. I have 5 acres and am trying to back in some infrastructure for off grid survival. I am Chiricahua Apache, not Dine.
Beautiful Native Language!
Try learning it… good luck!
It is their Language!! A Gift.
Saved us in WW II; Code Talkers did.
My God bless your all an fill your needs and comfort Juanita
People might laugh at their way of life but sadly people don't understand that America is heading in this direction to where we will all have to survive off the land without power
I lived in the Rez for 16yrs-they are beautiful and loving people
I was hoping you could answer a question. I was treated badly twice while traveling thru the rez. I just got gas and needed to use the restroom... I was told no. I went to the next one and the woman hated me... I could see it in her eyes. I'm not stupid...I know what has happened to your people. I'm white... I'm old. I didn't do it. It hurt my heart because I had so much respect for First Nations People. Is this how most of you feel? Thanks for reading.
Agree wholeheartedly Kimberly. i posted some my/our story and how it intersected with the Diné for 25+ yrs. I'm glad you got to know them
@@marieSnowtruthjustice No Marie. Overall as other's have testified to, the Diné are a beautiful & humble people. I would say those who treated you this way are not walking out forgiveness from what happened to their people in days past and prolly even now from ignorant & hateful people whose melanin is caucasian. I can only encourage you to forgive and ask to be healed from the negative experience you encountered. In Jesus' name...
In the bay area (ca) I recently moved to vacaville and my credit cards melted in the car. Also my spare tire (garaged) imploded due to the heat here. Hot weather is hell. I feel for them and the pets they have.
May I suggest to my brother and sister of the Dine, each hose could obtain power if they save up to buy the 100 watt solar system from Harbor freight, for less than 275 dollars you could set up a solar system.
Thanks so much for this informative presentation. May the American First Peoples live forever.
Hello beautiful people. Greetings from Australia.
Love this off the grid living and the family . God bless you all .
Helen, its ok, you don't need to apologize for messy house, its well lived in. You are probably healthier than most with not all those wifi pollution to your being and mind, and good spring water and excellent food source. your garden is beautiful, such pretty yard and view. that is important. Thank you for letting us see your home. Bless you.
Great Video bro! A lot of people have to live this way, most don’t know how bad it really is.🙏🙏🙏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
What an awesome home
This is so sad. My parents allowed children to live with us. We children had other children befriend us at school and attach to us. We were too young to know those children were searching for shelter, safety, food, and clothing. There would be extra children at the dinner table and a place made for them to sleep. Amazing that my parents did not ask questions of those added children or us their own children. There are many healthy and strong families.
Very informative! I like this very much! Great people!
Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, and share these stories so the true history is not lost.
The US government made promises, and deliberately chose not to honor those promises.
We need to do better.
I'm glad you appreciate the effort that went into this. Thanks!
@@rockhopperadventures I edit videos for Trauma Healing & Prevention Services, I completely appreciate the work you put in!
I also know how much work goes into establishing the trust for these beautiful, resilient people to share their stories with you.
Unfortunately, I've seen my neighbors be exploited more often than I have seen genuine goodwill, to the point that I **needed** to acknowledge the work you are doing here.
Thank you!
@@Lazy_Fish_Keeper Cool! That you edit and the work that you do are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
I liked they were brave to tell their stories. Im proud that they did. They are so brave.
Thank you very much for sharing.❤very interesting indeed and may God bless all 😊
I love it. I just love it. Fresh food and water and love. a great family that works and prays together. Money cannot buy this. I love you all. I am Cherokee.
WOW... I really enjoyed this video thank you for sharing.. At times I felt a strong connection and my heart goes out to them. I am so proud you all survived and shared you personal experiences And angered the government belittled you and the hard punishment you had to endure. Sending you all lots of love.❤🤗🤗
Love this family .please tell them I think they are wonderful . Sending many hugs and prayers to them .hope they get their sewage fixed soon . Sending them lots of hugs . New subscriber liked and subscribed.thank you for the video .
Thanks for subbing and commenting! I'll let them know that many people really like them.
Beautiful people and crops. Bless you all.
Beautiful video. Such a beautiful area. Something needs to be done to help.... it is my dream to do something to help
Enjoyed watching this video. This family are very strong and have a lot to teach us if we're open to it.
This is beautiful and so sad for all you guys had to live through. You are a very strong people. I have learned a lot listening to this.
Wondering why he's putting this poor lady thru all this. Hope he donates alot of money to her for showing him her life story. Wtf
❤
Could benefit from the awareness of outsiders.
Generosity still exists.
I feel they are pretty lucky to have the Wide open peaceful land with WATER. Most must Haul water. Not sure why they wouldn't have some version of composting toilet. No water needed.
Did I see a hot water heater in corner of kitchen - may be propane.
i too wondered along those lines. he gives us outlook on likely a forgotten somewhat colonized people: at what expense spiritually or physically; as sometimes that kind of exposure, is not always good.
putting her through all what? she had to have agreed to this and Im sure she is paid
@@leesadoe2440I sure hope so!
There are a lot of beautiful and well cared for homes. I wonder why he picked a house where people are stressed.
Very interesting. We can learn a lot from these people
and government sends funds over seas poverty is in your backyard lets help first nations with water and electricity.
The government does help all US citizens.
Living a few miles from the Mono Rez in the Sierra Nevada mountains.. someone told me that even in the 70s many did not have running water..shameful..unbelievable. Their pow wows are a beauty to behold. A very proud people.
Lovely people, friendly video. Thank you !
I have only watched 39mins so far, but what an absolutely amazing video... and amazing at how clueless I was as I've learned so much! Thank you for enlightening me about the Dinè ppl and showing a glimpse into their lives past-present! I am truly sorry what this family went through as children! I never see that part of the US, and it is really impressive, just beautiful💯 🫡
It sure was a very interesting article about the people that lived there, I don't no where it is located. But, hopefully to take a visit out there. Very interesting episode, & thank you..
Sorry could only catch a word here and there from what the old man was saying . I loved the two women who spoke very clearly and so interesting. Good storytellers I really keep them all in my prayers.🙏🏻
I lived in Tuba City for 2 years working as a nurse in the beautiful hospital. The country is so beautiful. I really enjoyed living there. Best Navaho tacos were at the Tuba City truck stop.
Wild this family has everything figured out, amazing. They truly respect the land and are blessed in the most humbling ways. Absolutely love this documentary
My heart breaks for the pain these ladies suffered as children.
You’d be surprised at how many children had to drive parents at a very young age. My cousin was 6 when he drive his mum home when she was drunk. He drove from one city 60-65 miles away back to their home. So yes it does happen. When a child is in survival mode, they learn real quick at a very young age.
These women are such an inspiration.
Thank you
These people have been through so much. They seem so kind and appreciate what they have. I wish the very best foe them.
I like the hogans houses. I hope & would be great that people would keep their traditions alive.
Blue bird flour tortillas recipe yummy 😋
I go through there and wonder what it would be like. I have an acre in AZ I will be going off grid, I’m a trucker right now, I’m a little scared but I have no choice. Love you guys ❤❤❤
Beautiful story
Thank you for bringing awareness of the beautiful, resilient people.
