I've been dreaming of the permaculture/homesteading life my whole life. I'm busy living my life doing what I like to do while hoping for the right person to come my way, meanwhile it might be useful to leave some breadcrumbs here and there to increase my chances. I'm looking for someone like-minded that can make a good team and family with me. I'm quite traditional in terms of what I'm looking for in a male partner. As for me, I'm capable and strong (mentally and physically), but I know my weaknesses and in what areas I'd benefit from someone else being there for me.
I'm open-minded and also have strong core values.
Beyond my permaculture interests and things loosely related, I also love running (I do ultra trail marathons), playing banjo and singing, doing crafty things like sewing, and thinking. I'm a thinker and good intelligent conversation is very important to me. Plus one of you have some sort of technical background like engineering, because then we will be able to speak each other's language better. I have degree in mechanical engineering and have worked in various jobs in that field without being fulfilled by the rat race. I'm currently spending my days volunteering on other people's farms through the WWOOF organization and mostly learning that many people aren't doing permaculture much better than I would do if I were to go ahead and start now. So I'm playing with the idea of buying some property and building myself a tiny stone house in the woods (currently just starting learning about stone masonry) and doing some permaculture stuff of my own. I've dabbled in various permaculture-related hobbies over the years. Gardening, raising chickens, cooking/baking of course, but ready to take it all the way.
Hopefully this was a useful ramble in giving an idea about who I am and enough to get you interested so we can ask eachother more questions.
Oh yeah, I'm from Kentucky and kind of feel an attachment to staying in the Appalachian region, but if you're able to convince me that you're the one, I'm open to relocating.
Happy days to you! Look forward to hearing from someone

Hello fellow Kentuckian! 41/m here. Give me a holler if you'd like to chat about all things regenerative ag/ecosystem based - I was an automobile mechanic and landscaping/general construction laborer for a while, now I lean more towards tinkering in organic growing of vegetables and trees :) I work part-time at a diverse veggie market garden, and co-op sell some crops thru their established market from the property I live on. I'm looking to grow more on my own and a passionate partner would be great!

So I shortened the quote to highlight a couple points/common ground.
Hi, My name is **** (I'll tell you in private if you respond) I'm working on constructing a little homestead in the southern most tip of the Appalachian Foothills and area known as the winding staircase mountains of Southeastern Oklahoma (although having grown up in the Rockies I wouldn't necessarily call these mountains) I'm looking for someone to join me in this new adventure life has me on. I wanted to reach out to you to see if you'd be interested in talking. I've turned wrenches all my life as far back as I can remember probably about age 6 or 7 when I started and I currently make my living as a mobile mechanic working in the field or on location wherever a vehicle or machine has broken down. I study automotive mechanics at New Mexico State University where I received my ASE certification and then moved on and studied aviation mechanics at Spartan school of aeronautics up till 9/11 when life suddenly decided to send me on a different journey.
I'm  now studding stone masonry particularly in the field of sandstone and Clay construction while laying out and beginning to construct a stone wall raised bed garden And although I do have my love of guitar and banjo I've never learned to play so I got into audio and enjoy music and movies especially if I can get the movie theater sound effects 😉
