Hello Everyone!
My name is Chad Orde AKA Island Drifter
I joined to learn more skills and experience from the UK.
I'm sure we have different ideas and styles to what we do. I really enjoy
different culture and reading and seeing what you all have done.
I live in Alaska on one of the rainforest islands. Tongass National Forest
We are considered subsistence and in the bush, although we are unique because we have a road system
due to the logging. Family of 5 with 1 German Shepherd I spent the last 21 years as an automation engineer.
Decided to move off to the bush to give my kids a better life.... Homeschool etc.. Its been a trip..
Trying to start a YouTube channel to share adventure with friends and family.
We fish, hunt and gather here on the island very fun, and very wet haha.
Be blessed,
Chad
 
Welcome, Chad. I'm not far south of you, 53N, in a mountain village on the mainland. This is a great site to reveal what to do when opportunities are restricted in a compact and densely populated district.

Hi and welcome! I'd love to see some photos from your island! I spent some time on Vancouver Island and fell in love with that type of coast and coastal forest.
