  • There are a group of people that would like to see this information remain largely unknown. A point I can understand as it seems the more people know about it the greater the chance of someone wanting to take its resources or build some form of grid system pushing it into the 21st century.

    For the residents of this area that would be a nightmare come true.

    For in Lasqueti there is little to no industry, bartering exists so currency as we know it is not necessary. There is only one pub, one cafe and what is known as “The Free Store.” The untapped beauty of Lasqueti – lush forests & rippling waters – actually betray the hard, dedicated work that is required for someone to live here.

    Residents of Lasqueti have seen many residents come and go.

    The locales say that the majority of people who set their sights on living the free “off-grid” style of life, fail due to many reasons. Some come in and view it as a tropical paradise and a place to get away from the stress of the world and that much is true, but to live in paradise such as this requires a skill set many are not equipped with in todays culture of instant and easy.  Residents claim that only around 30-40% of people will actually adapt & adjust to Lasqueti.

    The engineering of homes in Lasqueti is so impressive you have to see them to believe it. One in particular known to locales as the “Earth Ship” will blow you away – so keep reading!
