I grew up camping. Literally. We were off grid before it was a “thing.” In my formative years, we had no electricity, running water, or a phone. Living on 80 acres of “boondocks” in Northern California, my parents were hermits and both out of necessity and desire to raise seven children away from society, our playground was full of rattlesnakes and seasonal creek beds full of polliwogs. We swam in murky ponds where the mud from the bottom would grab our naked feet. In the wintertime, we were those kids that walked over a mile to get home – and often without warm clothing.
