quote:You know, I have been reading your posts since you talked about walking down Red Road and asking about the off-grid houses down there, then Iselle happened followed by the flow. Not long after, you got the place up north. I have looked at places up north and you have to be really careful. There aren't many houses up that way on the mauka side because it is on the steep down slope of Mauna Kea. There are a lot of pitfalls due to the geological conditions arising from steep slopes and heavy rainfall. The reason this island is so sparsely populated is there aren't that many places that are habitable, meaning civilized habitable. There are a lot of places where you can live naked and hunt down pigs and goats for subsistence. Just depends on lifestyle choices.
