Guardians in the Wilderness: Joey & Shannon Hodgson's Journey as Remote Forest Fire Tower Lookouts
FULL VIDEO:
https://youtu.be/IG8xCXjU3ng
“You learn to live with less and in a way it’s almost like taking heavy stuff out of your backpack. You end up happier without all of those things.”
-Shannon Hodgson
“If your backpack is too heavy, you can’t get where you want to go.”
-Joey Hodgson
DESCRIPTION:
Going on 27 seasons this year, Joey and Shannon Hodgson are married soulmates that live and work as forest fire lookouts in both remote fire watch towers and urban fire watch towers alike. Following a near death experience in the infamous winter blizzard of 1996, which involved digging a snow cave to ride out the fierce storm while nearly succumbing to hypothermia, they managed to escape with only frostbite and decided to change their lives forever to pursue a life living off-grid in a tiny home office that sits on a peak at 5,900 feet in elevation…secluded in a thick blanket of timber and wildlife. Like many creatives, they are both artists and musicians (in fact, they created the soundtrack to this very video) who continue to explore life as an exciting adventure where they write their own story.
In this episode, Joey and Shannon discuss everything from climate change to vulnerable personal reflections of intentionally pursuing an interesting and meaningful life in the wilderness instead of a path that convention had originally laid out for them.
