Channel Title: Surviving Ringworm Channel Description: Who doesn't at some point dream of moving to the wilderness with nothing but a pile of tools, a chainsaw mill and a sense of humor just to see what would happen? In early 2020 Ryan (who at the time thought he had the skin disease, ringworm) bought some remote property in Michigan with no roads, power or water- just trees. He and a friend who he had known since high school decided to grab their tents and move there to live for as long as it was fun. The friend eventually had to return to work but Ryan was enjoying himself too much to leave. He still lives in the woods, alone, and entertains himself by building ridiculous structures using only a chainsaw and a few hand tools. In the event that you'd like to see Ryan continue living in a tent and building worthless stuff with a chainsaw, see the Patreon link below (or one-time support at Paypal.) ***Please do not send personal emails to the address below*** <video> We've Camped for Decades.

Description

Who doesn't at some point dream of moving to the wilderness with nothing but a pile of tools, a chainsaw mill and a sense of humor just to see what would happen?

In early 2020 Ryan (who at the time thought he had the skin disease, ringworm) bought some remote property in Michigan with no roads, power or water- just trees. He and a friend who he had known since high school decided to grab their tents and move there to live for as long as it was fun.
The friend eventually had to return to work but Ryan was enjoying himself too much to leave. He still lives in the woods, alone, and entertains himself by building ridiculous structures using only a chainsaw and a few hand tools.

In the event that you'd like to see Ryan continue living in a tent and building worthless stuff with a chainsaw, see the Patreon link below (or one-time support at Paypal.)
