So what did he end up doing for insurance?

He has spent years and years hunting out the one or two companies that will actually cover him.

Unfortunately, he pays something like $1900/month, because he is distant from the nearest fire station, and again, city-based insurance companies see that as a big problem.

The house is in the Yukon, far out there.

Does he have a blog or pictures of the house? An off-grid house in the Yukon sounds really interesting!

No, neither.

This post of mine has a photo of their "cabin" that is just down the road from their house. http://theroadchoseme.com/chillin-yukon-style

I just went through my photos, I don't actually have one of their house online anywhere.

I took these on a walk from their house: http://theroadchoseme.com/northern-lights-1

Also, "off-grid house in the Yukon" is extremely common :)
