It’s amazing with how little you actually can live with and be content. Almost 6 years of overlanding in Southern and Eastern Africa, living with only the things we can fit in our Land Rover Defender has taught us a lot. :)
That was a very interesting, romantic (in a literary sense) and educational read, Amy. In the unlikely event you become bored over the winter, the memoirs of Gilean Douglas would be "right up your ally." She lived in the Coquihalla mountains alone, just north of Hope, British Columbia for about 8 years before she settled on Cortes Island.
Don't forget a trauma kit - tourniquet, clotting agents, compression bandage - the stuff you need when you REALLY need help fast.

Good luck! What do you do for communications, Starlink?
Thanks! I have an LTE smarthub from Telus. I found that Starlink took too much of my power.
Good list of supplies and preparations.
I use Howes diesel fuel additive and it works well to assist in stabilizing and lubricating, but I still buy diesel seasonally.
