Episode-889- Xavier Hawk on the Transition from Urban to Rural Living
The Hawk Clan Building a Yurt
Xavier Hawk is a homesteading volunteer firefighter/EMT who is semi retired from the not so glamorous world of business consulting. He is also a prepper who has gone from living in suburbia to the rural mountains of Western North Carolina.
Xavier has been keeping a bug out bag since the age of 14, he leads wilderness trips as a guide for Outward Bound and others, and teaches and practices primitive wilderness skills. He has recorded 8 albums of music, performed all around the country at big festivals, has had his paintings hang in a number of high end galleries, and walks the talk in community preparedness and planning.
A few years ago he moved his family from a heavily surburban area of south Florida to the mountains of North Carolina and started building up a true homestead from the ground up. He joins us today to discuss the transition from suburbia to rural self reliance with a family.
