End of the world prepper reveals how he ditched his 'typical' 9-to-5 lifestyle to become 'voluntarily HOMELESS' - sleeping off-grid in farms and living out of a WAGON in anticipation of total global 'collapse'

An end of the world prepper has opened up about his decision to quit his traditional 9-to-5 lifestyle and become 'voluntarily homeless' so he can live an entirely off-grid lifestyle in anticipation of a global 'collapse'. 

Aaron Fletcher used to have a corporate job that was very much in keeping with modern societal expectations - however he chose to walk away from that more conventional way of living after becoming more and more uncomfortable with how the world was developing.

His reasoning? The 42-year-old believes societal 'collapse' is 'overdue' and imminent.

Having ditched his full-time gig, he is now 'voluntarily homeless' – living on random farms with packs of dairy sheep as well as growing his own food.

All of Aaron's possessions fit into a wagon, which also doubles as his living quarters

He insists his lifestyle costs 'next to nothing' month to month

He also rid himself of most of his worldly possessions, transporting his remaining belongings in a wooden wagon that he hauls with him on his travels.

And he urges others to make the switch before it's too late.

'S**t is going to hit the fan soon,' Aaron, a nomadic farmer and sustainability activist, told What's The Jam.

'We need to preemptively change and wean ourselves away from artificial economy.

'I think people should be starting to produce more of their [own] organic food and work trade.

'It's important to buy sustainably-minded items now that will be needed in the future, as they may not be as readily available soon.

'We're long overdue for a global empire collapse.'

Aaron, from South Oregon, made the lifestyle switch more than 15 years ago and claims his new life costs him 'next to nothing' every month.

'S**t is going to hit the fan soon,' Aaron insisted

He lives alongside livestock while also growing food on the land of farms he's camping on

Aaron makes a meager but sufficient income working as a seasonal farmhand

He moves around in his tiny wagon, which he built from scratch, on farms across the state that need tending to year-round.

By doing this, he claims to have access to a 'lifetime' supply of fresh produce whenever he needs it - especially when disaster strikes.

He said: 'Being a farmhand means that I have a network of local farms to barter with and won't be putting all my eggs in one property basket.

'I need to have more than one that can produce enough variation of foods to keep me healthy and single-farm dependence can lead to nothing if people try to raid the land for supplies when everything goes wrong.

'A lot of rich people are now trying to move out to homesteads, but the transition process of selling their in-town homes is long – so they look for farmhands to look after their produce in the meantime.

'I want to give people some direction in a directionless, rampant and consumer-driven world,' Aaron added

He grows his own food while living on various farms

'Disgruntled city dwellers need to know this and have hope that there are increasing positions for them to work here and help these people with money develop their homestead in a timely enough fashion.

'Everyone will be dependent on the food the farm produces, as there won't be any other resources available, so there will always be jobs.'

Although he's disconnected himself from traditional society in many ways, he still speaks with his friends and family, who are supportive of his lifestyle.

He also shares his journey and tips on YouTube, with his channel, dubbed @123homefree, boasting more than 43,000 followers, in a bid to help others make the transition to living off the grid.

'I want to give people some direction in a directionless, rampant and consumer-driven world,' he added.

'The responses have been really positive and people are ready to live a more integrity and purpose-driven lifestyle, but they need to see some examples first.

'It's why I share my content, so they can see and adapt their own lives to this.

'There's not a chance of me reverting back to my old life,' he insisted.
