Incredible Photos of People Living Off The Grid Who Abandoned Civilization for Life in the Wilderness

Photographer Antoine Bruy not only traveled and lived with off-grid families for three years, but captured captivating photos of their Walden-esque existence.

When screeching city noises and demands from the 9-5 job become too much, most people can only dream of what quiet isolation in the rural countryside could be like. But French photographer Antoine Bruy turned that dream into a reality by hitchhiking across Europe from 2010 to 2013.

The artist wandered through remote mountain regions without any fixed destination or route in mind, but along the way met several individuals who had willingly abandoned hectic city life in exchange for retreat in the deep wilderness. These people sacrificed modern comforts for greater autonomy and freedom, and in result became inspiration to the inquisitive photographer.

In Bruy’s series Scrublands, he documented the homes and faces of the people he countered, by chance, who live far away from civilization. Living with these individuals for days to weeks at a time, Antoine helped them farm land and raise livestock while becoming educated on their self-sufficient lifestyles. Once teachers, students, and engineers, these people now rely on makeshift buildings, recovered materials, and agriculture in order to survive off-grid.

The compelling photos capture the rustic beauty and idyllic setting of people who have chosen a Walden-esque existence tucked away in secluded, wild environments. “The people and places depicted in my pictures display various fates which I think should not only be seen at a political level, but more importantly, as daily and immediate experiences,” he explains. “These are, in some ways, spontaneous responses to the societies these men and women have left behind. This documentary project is an attempt to make a kind of contemporary tale and to give back a little bit of magic to our modern civilization.”

Having a beautiful, luxurious home doesn’t always mean owning a mansion overlooking the ocean, or thousands of acres of land. Take these homes for example.

real education at schools should teach us how to build a house how to grow a bountiful garden and nurture healthy farm animals and how to grow trees and fruit bearing plants how to make various food stuffs and cook how to heat a home in winter without electricity or oil how to make soap take care of bees for honey how to explore on horseback across states how to build a chimney how to start a fire with your hands and that’s it how to survive outside how to fish and hunt how to make bread from scratch how to make paper how to sew stitches and stop bleeding how to deliver a baby how to make incense how to build a boat how to fix our cars and other practical skills for self-sufficiency. instead school put me through a bunch of bullshit and I’m unemployed. they teach us only how to buy all this stuff…

id rather be homesteading (via theperfectsolution144)

A Graphic Showing the World's Vanishing Wildlife

The toll of human activity on the world’s wildlife population over the past 40 years is devastating. The World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) recently released ”2014 Living Planet Report”  shows that between 1970 and 2010, the population of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish around the globe has dropped a shocking 52 percent.
