What is ‘Wild Life with Amy Jay’?
Wild Life with Amy Jay documents my experiences as I establish a homestead from the ground up. Beginning with remote, bare subalpine land and making it into a sustainable small farmstead. That’s the goal.
This is now the 5th year of being on the mountain, and things are feeling much more established. Solar power. An outhouse. No running water but we have a system that works. The property has limited access. In the winter we get snowed in. When I need to go to town I hop on the snowmobile, or hike. The first winter I didn’t leave for four months.

About Me
I spent a decade living and working in the oil industry. It launched my life into the awesomeness that it is now and was a great learning experience.
I learned what takes priority in my life. Radical self-reliance, conscientious consumption. I wanted to wholly understand where the things that I need to live come from and After some time in the suburbs where I found myself mapping out all of the edible plants within a square mile of my house, I decided to take this desire to the extreme.
