Strapped in snowshoes, alone in the woods of Manitoba, and armed with a chainsaw, Gordon Daigneault had one way to survive: gather fuel to heat his dwelling.
When Daigneault bought a cabin in the woods in 2019, it had no power or water and could be reached only by manoeuvring a quad through trails or by hiking. The 42-year-old, who sports a great black beard and goes by the nickname Bushman Gord, has since given up big city life for his off-grid haven in Sandilands.
