     We want you to know and understand the conditions of remote living.  We are off-grid, which means that we only have electricity when the generators are running, about 2 hours a day.  No TV, no internet, no cell phone service.  We do have a satellite phone for emergencies that you may use at the cost of $1.00 per minute.  We have running water 24/7 as long as there are no bear bites in the line.  The remote site is only accessible by boat or plane.
