Rebecca “Becky” Vance had an irrepressible urge, a genuine need to get away.
Despite little preparation and with amateur outdoor survival skills, Vance, 42, convinced her sister Christine last summer to “live off the grid” with her and her son in rugged western Colorado, leaving behind their lives in Colorado Springs.
Becky — said to be an anxious loner further exasperated by society during the pandemic — wanted to start anew by fleeing into the wilderness, where extreme weather and other potential pitfalls awaited in the Rocky Mountains. But she couldn’t be stopped, her stepsister told The Post.

They should have been advised to watch all 37 episodes of Grizzly Adams.
IN truth, they should have spent their spare time camping and using some very good survival books to learn tricks.
The ‘mummified bodies’ update.......................
Oops
I believe they were about 5 miles away from Pitkin, Colorado.
Well - they didn’t die of Covid, now did they?
(further exasperated by society during the pandemic)
I can relate.......
That’s one way to get off and stay off the grid.
Didn’t really think It Out.

I saw their pics.
Fat slobs, low IQ looks, and no training.
Nature is unforgiving.
How not to prep ping
Look that there intranet says we can live off the land for free and eat tree bark.
Let’s go 🤪
In youtube’s defense, they have saved me thousands in car repairs over the years.
“The trio set out without much preparation aside from watching YouTube videos on how to survive..”
Nothing says off the grid like being on YouTube.
“Well - they didn’t die of Covid, now did they?”
I wonder if their mummified bodies were wearing masks?
They used technology and electricity to prepare to go off grid.
Did they drive to their chosen campground? Or get a ride?
There’s a reason why people invented civilization: because survival off the land is hard! It’s much easier when the duties are split up and one person makes the tractors and another person tills the fields.
Wondering how many people who have gone “off grid” opted to stay “off grid” when they needed medical care.
I bet they had no idea they would need 2-3 cords of wood just to keep the camp fire going all winter.
Good one!
“Watching youtube”
The seems to be the sum of all knowledge to millennials.
It is pathetic how often I see references to some online video as the basis for what some gen-z “knows”
