Jamie Watson
off-grid native brings to you my indigenous tribal Maori skills and modern off-grid living. Mixing together modern and traditional.
All you need to know from fire making, water systems, preserving food, building, solar power, fishing, foraging tips and hacks for making off-grid living easy and sustainable.
I grew up in remote New Zealand where my family and tribe have lived for generations. We lived with no power, only candles, we washed in the river, and we gathered food from the land. Today I am still on these lands and have built my own off-grid house and I fix and make everything I have. A mix of these skills are what i'll be sharing.
