Because I’m a fan of TLC’s array of trainwreck shows, it was kind of a lock that I was going to watch Risking it All. Long story short, the premise of the show is three families (the Kemps, Watfords and Elliotts) that decide to begin lives anew “off the grid.”
Quotations, because of loose interpretations of what living off the grid really means.
Sounds like a recipe for more TLC goodness, right?
Forget the notion that the impetus behind the families’ starts with the breadwinners of each respective families losing their jobs, so the logical next step would be to go off the grid. That’s basically like saying I lost my job, and instead of doing what other people do, which is to look for another job, deciding that I was going to uproot my family and go move into the woods.
