We had a period where all our beaches were literally closed. When our lock down was at its worst… On our news here , we are not getting much news media on new Zealand and covid numbers etc… We only get updated on the u.s and the u.k/europe. That’s odd because our governments are tight

The only good thing is that when you fly to Hawaii you need a negative test to even get on a plane so that kept our numbers down…don’t get me wrong we still have flare ups but we are not on curfew and lockdown like the mainland. I glad that you got to enjoy the beach today… it looked empty

I believe NZ has recovered fully and back into the swing of things for a while now. We did have a minor scare in November which Auckland was on alert but not lockdown as such. Where I live in the far north of NZ… we are bushman so we are well equipped. Dive, hunt, grow our own produce, fish, orchids etc… nothing really changes for us here and as a community… we put our own barricades up when the big lockdown hit earlier in the year 2020… we stopped foreigners from traveling through our part of NZ as they were still trying to get past the official blockades to site see

Love this. Your fully off grid. That takes some strength. Kudos to you for sticking that life style out. I’d love to go off grid and farm my own chickens and have pet goats lol 
technically I guess that’s just farm life not of grid lol. Not sure I can give up my long hot showers on a winters morning to go fully off grid

I had a girlfriend who insisted she could live off the grid. Had an answer to everything except for the idea of lacking technology and such.
Oh I can use free wifi elsewhere. I can sneak into places for showers. I got a ugly response when I said that’s not off the grid, that’s just being a transient

Haha, yeah.
I know I could never live that far off the grid. I became suburbiated never been hunting a day in my life. I wanted to buy a house where I could have some farm animal pets. But that didn’t unfold as planned prior to going to treatment
