Dave Whipple of Bushradical on YT Channel & Alone S4 Talks Cabins, Off-Grid Living, Survival & More!
In this engaging episode of Baird Country, I chat with Dave Whipple, of the popular YouTube channel Bushradical and season 4 of Alone contestant. Dave shares insights on cabin building, his move to Alaska, off-grid living, and the harsh realities of survival in the wild.
Listeners are treated to Dave's firsthand accounts of the challenges and rewards of off-grid living, from constructing remote cabins to daily life off the grid. His stories of resilience, self-sufficiency, and his connection to the natural world offer a raw glimpse into the truth of off-grid living and survival, and how we can all live a rewarding and exciting life in any budget.
