Nelson - Jetpacking from bed

Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm going to walk away for about a week with my wife, cats and dog. We are going to a cabin in the middle of nowhere by a river tomorrow. No computers, no phones, just us. Do you think you could be disconnected for a week?

    Yes, I feel it is imperative to disconnect now and then.

    Oh yeah! I spend my whole summer vacations disconnected. That's why there's that lapse from June to mid August when I'm not here.

    When I first read this, I thought you said you were walking away FROM your wife and animals! I'm glad I mis-read! Haha.

    I actually JUST got back from camping for a week, where I was disconnected. It was unintentional though. I brought my cell phone, but it didn't get service where I was.

    I could be disconnected for the rest of my life. I hate the cell phones and the rat race. I might have to come back to town during football season though, then leave again after the Superbowl.

    Ooooh that is fun to do every once in awhile. To not let people think they have access to you that much. To just have simple time, no stress of sad news on the tv, no stupid drama that your friends tell you. Just you and your loved ones. I hope you had a wonderful time..I love to do that.

    Oh yes, it would be wonderful, actually we are trying to find a place to homestead further out of town than we are now. I will be so happy to find something soon, we will grow our own fruits and veggies, (more than we do now). We have lived like that before on someone elses property we leased, but we want to own our own property.

    I could do it alone. But if I were in the same situation, I would probably not stay disconnected from my wife...
