Good morning, everybody. Welcome back. Today, days like today, I should say. Are the reasons why I like social media or are the reasons why I like doing this podcast? I get to sit down with somebody I never would have been connected with. I was connected to this person via a friend locally. Over Instagram, switched it to IRL in real life, emailing back and forth. Imagine wanting to get off the grid.

Imagine not, you know, I say that not pejoratively, but you just want to be able to have a piece of land, build your dream property, doing it all with your bare hands, which you can teach yourself

and the tools and equipment that you have available, and maybe build into something where you

can teach others. That for me is absolutely fascinating. And my guest today is Mark Bonali.

He has been able to do that. He has an Instagram page that you have to check out.

It is modern, rural civilian. You want to talk about somebody documenting the highs and the lows,

the trials and tribulations of trying to do exactly what I just described. It's a great follow.

It's fascinating to see real world solutions or low tech solutions to modern problems. It doesn't always have to be electronics. It doesn't always have to be something that somebody else solved. One of the things I love about Mark is he just, he shows and documents what it is he's building and how he solves these

problems. So that's what we're going to be talking about today. Before we do that, give me a few seconds,

let me pay the bills. Here we go. Today's episode is brought to you by Black Rifle Coffee.

goblin, drinking those weak-ass sugary energy drinks that taste like batteries. You need to try
