My Wild Holm

Life on an Off-Grid Wilderness Island

Welcome to My Wild Holm. We’re Ryan and Melodi, and in 2022 we bought a 62-acre island on a remote lake in the Canadian wilderness.

Since then, we’ve been building an off-grid homestead from the ground up, one project, one mistake, and one hard-earned lesson at a time.

We’re not trying to disappear from the modern world completely. We’re focused on building a life that brings together wilderness freedom, practical self-reliance, solar power, internet access with as many of the modern comforts that will make this place livable for the long haul.

Follow along as we turn a raw wilderness island into an off-grid home, with all the work, weather, wildlife, setbacks, systems and everyday learning that comes along with it.
