...

他们是一个典型的美国家庭。

我们在波士顿的生活就像一个典型的郊区家庭。

我有一份相当压力大的工作。

我在城市里有很长的通勤时间。

但他们并不开心。

这让我觉得自己像个缺席的父亲。

有时候感觉我们好像生活在不同的世界里。

所以他们决定做出改变，一个彻底的改变。

Esther Emery和Nick带着他们的家庭，他们的全部积蓄，

离开了他们所熟悉的一切。

...

你好，Esther。

你好。

很高兴见到你。

我也很高兴见到你。

你好。

Nick，你好。

这个家庭搬到了爱达荷州东部的深山里，

住进了这个314平方英尺的帐篷，没有电，

没有自来水，也没有任何通讯方式。

所以你们是亲手建造了这一切？

是的，这一切都是我们自己做的。

包括这片土地上的所有建筑。

哇哦。

我们用这个小木炉来给帐篷取暖。

你只要从上面添加木头。

它有铸铁底座和铸铁盖。

这样可以提供不少热量。

家里每个人都有一个抽屉。

这比你想象的要容易，Nick和我

不是每天都换牛仔裤。

我认为清洁标准是完全可以接受的，

但也不完全符合美国其他人的做法。

然后这里是我们的洗手池。

我们把水倒进这个桶里，

桶下面是我的蚯蚓箱。

你觉得这里有多少条蚯蚓？

10,000条。

这里有10,000条蚯蚓？

这里大约有10,000条蚯蚓。

好的。

那么这里和蚯蚓一起放的是什么？

任何有机物质。

它们会变成很棒的黑色土壤。

然后你会用这些土壤来种花园和——

尤其是我们的树木。

还有树木。

树木。

是谁想出离开现代社会的点子？

Esther种下了很多独立思考的种子，

思考人们真正需要的东西，而不是社会规范。

然后我觉得我把这个想法贯彻到底，

并想要真正去做。

...

...

我们知道这里不会有化粪系统，

所以我们知道需要一个户外厕所。

有一个六英尺深的洞。

我们把纸放进篮子里，每次使用后

加入锯末，这有助于碳氮平衡，

也有助于掩盖气味。

...

...

你最大的恐惧是什么？

我不一定能清楚表达。

我并没有真的认为会有一只熊来。

我也不认为我们会被美洲狮吃掉。

你知道，我想我最害怕的是未知。

...

这是一个天然泉水，地下有一个混凝土蓄水池。

你每天来这里，收集大约这么多水？

是的，我们每天用大约15加仑。

这在整个计划中仍然微不足道。

嗯，没错。

与郊区家庭相比，他们至少会用300加仑。

我正在训练。

我现在正在进行离网训练。

进展不是很顺利。

没有。

[笑声]

...

哦，是的，我们做到了。

谢谢。

...

...

你还记得在城市里的生活吗？

记得？

你记得？

嗯，记得一些。

电视真的很棒。

你可以看很多，但现在我不能看很多，

因为这里没有电。

你爸爸在城市里工作很多吗？

是的。

你经常看到他吗？

不。

有时候我很想他。

但现在我可以和他一起度过更多时间。

你有想过会过没有电、没有热水的生活吗？

Sometimes I missed him a lot.

没有。

说实话，直到我来到这里，

意识到我可以生存，并且有

这么多快乐和满足感，我才意识到

这是长期计划。

但在几个月后，冬天来临时，

这个家庭靠近自然的生活梦想

开始破裂。

我感到了一种被困住的感觉。

我希望你冷静下来。

找点其他事情做。

当熊来的时候，我丈夫不在家。

我没有通讯方式，所以我不能打电话给任何人。

[英语]

They were an all-American family.

Our life in Boston was like a typical suburban family.

I had a pretty stressful job.

I had a long commute in the city.

But they weren't happy.

It made me feel like an absent father.

It felt kind of like we were in different worlds sometimes.

So they decided to make a change, a drastic one.

Esther Emery and Nick vouched their family, their entire life

savings, and left everything they've ever known.

Hi Esther.

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Hi.

Nick, hi.

The family moved deep into the backwoods of eastern Idaho

into this 314 square foot yurt with no electricity,

no running water, and no means of communication.

So you guys literally built all of this?

Yeah, all this.

All the structures that are on the property.

Wow.

We heat the yurt with just this small, wood burning stove.

You just feed from the top.

It's got a cast iron bottom and a cast iron top.

And those heat up quite a bit.

Each person in the family gets one drawer.

It's easier than you think, and Nick and I

don't change our jeans every day.

Are standards of cleanliness, I think,

are completely acceptable, but also

not entirely what everyone else in America is doing.

And then this is where we have our sink.

We run water into just a bucket, and then under the bucket

is my worm bin.

And how many worms do you think are in here?

10,000.

10,000 worms in here?

There's about 10,000 worms in here.

OK.

And so what goes in here with the worms?

Just any organic material.

They make this wonderful black soil.

And then so you'll use the soil for your garden and--

And for our trees especially.

And the trees.

Whose idea was it to move off the grid?

Esther planted a lot of the seeds

of thinking independently and thinking

outside of the societal norms of what people need to have.

And then I think I just kind of took that all the way

and wanted to actually do it.

We knew that we weren't going to have a septic system

out here at all, so we knew we needed an outhouse.

There's a six foot deep hole.

We put paper in a basket, and we add

sawdust each time we use it, which helps add carbon

into the carbon nitrogen balance,

and it also helps to mask the smell.

What was your biggest fear?

I couldn't have necessarily articulated it.

I didn't really think there would be a bear coming.

I didn't think that we'd be eaten by cougars.

You know, I think I was the most afraid of the unknown.

So this is a natural spring, and there is a concrete holding

tank under the ground.

And every day you come out here, and you

collect about this much?

Yeah, we use about 15 gallons a day.

That's still pretty insignificant in the scheme

of things.

Well, right.

Compared to suburban household, which

would be using 300 gallons at least.

I'm in training.

I'm in off the grid training right now.

It's not going so well.

No.

[LAUGHTER]

Oh, yes, we made it.

Thank you.

Do you member your life back in the city?

Yes?

You do?

Well, some of it.

The TV was really awesome.

And you got to watch a lot, but now I don't get to watch a lot,

because we don't have electricity here.

Did your dad used to work a lot when you lived in the city?

Yeah.

Would you see him very often?

No.

Sometimes I missed him a lot.

But now I get to spend more time with him.

Did you ever think that you would

be living a life without electricity, without hot water?

No.

To tell the truth, it wasn't until I got out here

and realized that I could survive and have

so much happiness and so much satisfaction that I realized

this is the long-term plan.

But after just a few months when winter started setting in,

the family's dream of a life closer to nature

started to unravel.

What I felt was a sense of being trapped.

I want you to calm down.

Find something else to do.

When the bear came, my husband was out of town.

And I have no communication, so I couldn't call someone.
