Off the Grid on a Homemade Island
Floating off the coast of Vancouver Island, a 45-minute boat ride to the nearest town, is a sustainable island fortress complete with a dance floor, art gallery and garden. For artists Catherine King and Wayne Adams, this is home: a labor of love 24 years in the making.

Get one while you build a successful life for both of you and have her help you so that both of you understand the value of what you have once you have it. That's just the experience I have with my wife. She was there when we had nothing she is now enjoying while we have everything... or everything we want anyway.

So being more wealthy only allows you a larger pool of women to choose. There's plenty of tests which can allow you to see which women honestly care and which women only want your money.

@@_LEONKING_ Yes some people are very good actors and can even cry real tears when asked, but lots of people are bad actors or even terrible actors thus having them take the tests increases your chances of finding a good person. Unfortunately every person changes with time thus the lady of your dreams today might become the witch of your nightmares tomorrow so nothing is guaranteed. Personally I recommend the MGTOW path for focusing on a successful career than if desired use your money to hire a surrogate mother which will provide you one or more children. For several states within the USA this allows you full custody of your offspring. This means you won't ever have to worry about some x-wife or girlfriend taking half of what you own, using the courts to force you to pay child custody, using the courts to force you to pay alimony or poisoning your offspring against you. Unfortunately in the USA statistics show 80% of divorces are initiated by the women plus the courts, police, child custody and alimony all favor the women which is why MGTOW came into existence and is growing in popularity.
There's probably an opportunity here to publish a children's story book based on this

@@realtruth1448 yeah ofc! As I said, they'll only float over. And btw, there was the same scenario in this book, and guess what? It was the other humans who ruined the lives of people living on that island, as they wanted to live on that safe and zombie free area too. Btw, assuming that zombies can't swim, as I said, they just walk into the water. And then they start floating on the surface due to decomposition. So any zombie reaching that small land, will have to be shot. If hundreds and thousands are heading your direction, then if you don't have enough ammo or people, well, you're fucked.
Sounds great, a real adventure. I hope they're documenting the process so others can learn and grow from it.

It is registered as a float home and therefor legal in British Columbia Canada. As long as they are registered and pay their licencing/registration fee (annually I think) they can float their cabin/island off the main land or main island of Vancouver. Most people choose community type living with others around, but it is perfectly legal for them to choose a remote location. Hope that helped with your wonder/question.

They probably use compost toliets and empty the buckets into composting bins on land. after it becomes compost, they probably use it in the soil for the fruit trees or the trees on land. I bet they separate the urine from the poop too, the urine can be diluted 1 part urine, 10 parts water and sprayed on the grasses and other non edibles.
Just one word- AMAZING

This video makes me a bit homesick, seeing the ocean and the islands covered in trees. I miss B.C. so much. I’m from Vancouver and since 2011 I’ve only spent one year in B.C. There’s nowhere else like it. It’s so special and if Vancouver and Victoria weren’t so expensive, and if being a teacher was as good in BC as it is in Alberta, I’d move back in a heartbeat. I’ll always be a British Columbian!

I have the same exact story. I was born and raised in Vancouver for 10 years than I moved to Alberta. I hate how people call me Albertan because in reality like you said I will always be British Columbian. If I were to rank provinces BC would be the best (no bias believe me) and Alberta would be the worst.
1:20 "Do you ever get seasick?" "No. But when I go to the town, I got landsick" 😂😂😂
After the wife says she feels fulfilled the husband says,” I’m working on it.” Doesn’t matter how many incredible things you build with your own hands, goals you’ve achieved and obstacles you have overcome life is just chasing after the wind until you meet Jesus Christ. That hole will never truly be filled before this. God bless!
