1 00:00:21,231 --> 00:00:24,434 You know, back when I was makin' foldin' money, yeah, 2 00:00:24,434 --> 00:00:26,770 I, uh... I did enjoy that. 3 00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:30,373 But bein' a slave to society, you know, 4 00:00:30,373 --> 00:00:33,043 there's important things in this world, food, and shelter, 5 00:00:33,043 --> 00:00:34,411 and family, and good friends. 6 00:00:34,411 --> 00:00:37,280 And, you know, it's not how much you make, 7 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,149 it's how much you spend, 8 00:00:39,149 --> 00:00:43,186 and I don't miss all that folding money at all. 9 00:00:43,186 --> 00:00:46,156 As long as me and the dogs and the horses are all fed and warm 10 00:00:46,156 --> 00:00:49,659 and got what we need, that's... And I got powder and lead 11 00:00:49,659 --> 00:00:53,263 and a striker and a flint and a good knife, 12 00:00:53,263 --> 00:00:56,433 and those are the comforts of this world to me. 13 00:00:58,702 --> 00:01:00,337 In the age of technology, 14 00:01:00,337 --> 00:01:03,907 the electrical grid is expanding, 15 00:01:03,907 --> 00:01:07,077 and the world is getting smaller. 16 00:01:07,077 --> 00:01:11,147 For some, finding peace of mind means hiding out 17 00:01:12,015 --> 00:01:13,516 where no one thinks to look. 18 00:01:14,851 --> 00:01:19,022 To escape, they redefine "off the grid." 19 00:01:30,333 --> 00:01:33,103 {\an8}There's new stuff to see every time you come in here. 20 00:01:33,103 --> 00:01:36,006 {\an8}It's like bein' a kid in a candy store, really. 21 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,675 {\an8}Every time you come in or go out, 22 00:01:38,675 --> 00:01:40,744 {\an8}you're looking at things from a different direction, 23 00:01:40,744 --> 00:01:43,280 {\an8}and you always see something new. 24 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,282 {\an8}Low here, fellas, real low. 25 00:01:48,018 --> 00:01:52,756 For nearly two years, Joe Ray has made his home below the grid, 26 00:01:52,756 --> 00:01:56,092 in the Ozark Mountains of North Central Arkansas. 27 00:01:56,927 --> 00:01:58,461 This is it. 28 00:01:58,461 --> 00:02:00,964 Living almost entirely underground, 29 00:02:01,498 --> 00:02:05,569 Joe utilizes caves for shelter, and he strategically stashes 30 00:02:05,569 --> 00:02:08,338 food and supplies throughout the tunnels. 31 00:02:10,073 --> 00:02:12,542 Whoo, come down here to get me a little bite to eat 32 00:02:12,542 --> 00:02:15,011 before I get on back to bein' busy. 33 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,281 Gotta have some jerky. 34 00:02:18,281 --> 00:02:21,418 This stuff here gives me good energy and keeps me goin'. 35 00:02:21,418 --> 00:02:23,053 I'm almost out of it. 36 00:02:25,889 --> 00:02:26,923 In this cave, you know, 37 00:02:26,923 --> 00:02:28,925 I mean, the temperature stays so right in here. 38 00:02:28,925 --> 00:02:30,260 It doesn't ever get hot. 39 00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:32,329 It always stays in the 60s. 40 00:02:32,329 --> 00:02:35,832 So that sort of will let meats hang a little longer. 41 00:02:35,832 --> 00:02:37,334 I make my own jerky here. 42 00:02:37,334 --> 00:02:41,338 So, this is one way that I know I'll always have meat supply, 43 00:02:41,338 --> 00:02:43,406 because the jerky will last me forever 44 00:02:43,406 --> 00:02:46,543 as long as I keep it in an airtight, semi-airtight thing. 45 00:02:46,543 --> 00:02:48,879 Moisture in here will degrade it, but like I say, 46 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:51,248 I can airtight it, and I can keep it for a while. 47 00:02:51,248 --> 00:02:53,149 But this is all I got left, but... 48 00:02:55,318 --> 00:02:57,187 I'm gonna need to be goin', fillin' that up. 49 00:02:57,187 --> 00:02:58,922 My rice supply is gettin' low. 50 00:02:58,922 --> 00:03:01,191 I'm out of beans completely. 51 00:03:01,191 --> 00:03:03,860 Head out and see if I can find me some fresh meat to eat. 52 00:03:16,306 --> 00:03:20,010 I'll just have to see what moves when I'm out runnin' around, 53 00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:22,045 what I can stir up. 54 00:03:44,734 --> 00:03:46,469 Goodness gracious. 55 00:03:46,469 --> 00:03:49,806 Well, I don't see any date on this. 56 00:03:50,907
