What is ‘Wild Life with Amy Jay’?
Sitting in a sea can house on a mountain, 3,000ft above the nearest town. Where to start?
I spent a decade living and working in the oil industry. I loved it. Not only did it launch my life into the awesomeness that it is now, but it was a great learning experience.
I learned what takes priority in my life. Radical self-reliance. Conscientious consumption. Understanding where the things that I need to live come from. 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.
Now I sit on a mountain. My mountain. In southern British Columbia.
Solar power. No running water. Limited access - in winter the road gets snowed in. If I want to go to town I hop on the snowmobile. The first winter I didn’t leave.
For four months. This is now the 5th year of being on the mountain, and things are feeling much more established.
Wild Life with Amy Jay documents my experiences as I establish a homestead from the ground up. Living with a simple solar setup, developing a water source, milling lumber, growing food and more - at a subalpine elevation. Welcome to my Wild Life.
