The Modern West shares: Our Uncertain Future, an off gridding podcast

About this episode

The episode features a shared story from the podcast Our Uncertain Future, focusing on a family's off-grid lifestyle in New Mexico.

This time on the show, we share an episode from another podcast called Our Uncertain Future. It’s produced by Johanna DeBiase and Eric Mack, the couple we met in our last bonus episode called “An Apocalyptic American Dream.” Johanna and Eric and their teenage daughter live in a strawbale house in the no man’s land of the Mesa, a few miles west of Taos, New Mexico. They’ve been documenting the reasons they’ve chosen this life, and in this episode, they celebrate six years of off gridding.
