About Me

Laura Emerson: Alaska, United States; My husband and I (Laura Emerson) live in a little log cabin in Alaska, a 20 minute flight to the nearest major road. We rely on solar and wind power, with a back-up generator. Professionally, we tele-commute to employers far, far away. Certifications in Permaculture, Master Gardening, Master Naturalist, and Herbalism have all taught me skills and insights that enhance our remote life. Also, my book was just published at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZN1FZR9/ref=sr_1_1 If you have questions about off-grid life, contact me in the Comments section below.
