IN AN ERA OF MASS URBANIZATION of both young and old alike we are making a choice. A choice to do something different. To start a movement, through couragious pioneering, stubborn stick-to-it-ness, a passion for nature and clean green sustainable living, a desire to experience harmony and oneness with our planet and a sense of the urgency of now, to go back to our roots and go RURAL.

Who are we? Our names are Christine and Danny and we live with our 5 month old daughter Eve in a log cabin in the rocky mountains of Northeastern British Columbia Canada. We moved to our cabin from Prince George (the urban center of Northern BC) in May of 2007 with the goal of transforming our lifestyle from the enslavement of capitalism to total sustainability.

It was, we think, a match made in heaven. When Christine and Danny met, Christine was cycling everyday to work and Danny -- a staunchly-opposed-to-logging mechanic living in a seriously-dependent-on-logging-city -- was on the brink of exploring environmental activism while he pondered his fit in this world. Danny had a piece of property out in the mountains nestled alongside the mighty Fraser, that grew an impressive blanket of wild green fiddleheads every spring; when he discovered that Christine (a Maritimer originally) not only knew that fiddleheads were a food, but how prepare them into a delicious delicacy (and did so that very first summer together) -- he knew that his dream of someday leaving the concrete jungle to become a full time ruralite could come true.

And so it has. And through this blog we hope to share our adventures in the great white north, where there are definitely more moose than people, as we attempt to live out our flower power dreams. Not only live them out, but empower anyone and everyone who stops by to have a read to make it known that it IS possible to live the good life on your own terms. We have but a limited number of days in this lifetime so why not make the most of it! Power to the people! You too, can BE A RURALITE!!

Peace!

Christine and Danny
