Back to the Landers

Imagine living without electricity and indoor plumbing.

Well that's what a lot of the "back to the landers" or "hippies" did in the 1970's. They dropped out and embraced a rural way of life but, as it turns out, they weren't really ready for it.

From Cape Breton Island to Albert County, New Brunswick - meet some "back to the landers" and see how their lives have changed. And witness how history is repeating itself with a new generation trying to live off the land.
