    Lasqueti is a secret Canadian island where the vast majority of residents are completely off-grid.

    City Living In A Pop Top Camper

    I thought this video about living in a pop up camper was pretty cool. I especially like her response around 11 minutes in, to "what would you say to people that equate living in a trailer to being homeless?" the youtube channel this video is from has a lot of tiny house / alternative housing...
