Think Shovelling Your Driveway Is Hard? Check Out What This Skeena Family Has To Do

‘It’s about 2km to the bottom of our driveway.’

We all know the feeling. There’s a big dump of snow and you know you’re going to have to get out there and shovel it. 

Now imagine instead of a normal-sized driveway yours is several kilometres long. 

The Ravens Reach doesn’t have to imagine it. That’s the name of a Youtube account posting videos about a family of three living off the grid in the Skeena wilderness. 

Luckily they just got a snow plow. “No more almost going in the ditch coming home from work in the early hours of the morning after a snowfall.  We should have a good road this winter which will be great!” explains a new video. “It’s about 2km to the bottom of our driveway.” 

The family lives “off grid and are striving to be as self-sufficient as possible. We grow and preserve a huge amount of vegetables aiming to have enough for year round use, without needing to buy any.” 

“We use no-dig and permaculture methods for all our growing, working with Mother Nature rather than against. We also forage and eat lots of wild greens and mushrooms,” they say.
