“The insulation is not the best. The logs are cut down and layered around the cabin with moss, with sticks nailed in between to keep some warmth in,” the young womantold SWNS.
“My main source of heating is firewood, which is on 24/7, and I go through about a box of logs a day.
“The cabin looked very different when I lived there before. My dad has fitted a new roof.”

Her dad is 43-year-old Luna, the creator of theAltruist Relief Kitchen, an organization that manufactures and transports “instant infrastructure”to remote or devastated locations to provide basic services—like food, water, shelter, and medical care—without the need for fossil fuels or electricity.
It was Luna who convinced Karma to move back into her childhood home, which she nowrents for $275 a month from Luna’s godfather, Tom.
“The cabin is such a good place to grow up as a child because you have no worries,” Karma said. “We used to play in the garden and go on really long hikes, and ever since coming back, it’s been nice to relive the memories.”

When she lays down on her bed, the teen can still see the painted light-blue sky and clouds her father did on the ceiling when she was younger.
However, Karma knows that the infrastructure limits of her new home may soon have more influence than the nostalgic revival of her childhood days.
“I can’t live with no running water for my whole life, but I’ll probably stay in here for another year before I go to med school,” she explained. “I don’t want to stay in Homer, but I would like to go back there in the future.”

But he also has a warning to those wanting to leave the busy city life behind. “This alone cannot make you happy,”he said, pointing to the mountains in front of his house. “I’ve met miserable people out in the middle of nowhere, and I’ve met super strong, healthy, happy people in the city.”
