Josh Duhamel

You know, I just love being out there.

It really brings me back to being a kid and for me to now, you know, see my kids experience this and watch them sort of get to do the same things I did growing up was part of the reason I did it, honestly.

Is that why you asked?

No, it was... In the beginning, it was... I guess I bought this place 16, 17 years ago, and in the beginning, it was...

It was just because I just wanted to get away.

I just wanted something really remote, really private.

I was not trying to escape Hollywood.

I just wanted something different that I could get away to if I needed to.

And then it became something as the world got a little bit

scarier, I was like, you know what?

I'm really glad I bought this thing.

In fact, I'm gonna buy the property next door too.

So then I had 55 acres out there and I was like these two little cabins.

And I really started thinking more about like, okay, how could I live out here so that if shit hits the fan, I can just live out here without, you know, completely unplugged.

So then I started taking steps to do that, which was, you know, solar,

which I never use.

We ended up bringing electricity in, but everything runs off of propane, you know, and you know, if we could fish, I could hunt, I could literally, we got three wells out there.

So I got plenty of water and enough food if I need it.

And then, you know, all the other stuff you need.

So I bought 12 acres, half a parcel, nothing on it from this old guy named Cody, Craig Cody, K-O-T-T-E.
