We are a couple looking for our community. We have 20 acres an hour north of Portland that we would love to share with other low/no tech lifestyles. We live with very few modern comforts or technologies. We collect rainwater and haul creek water in buckets for bathing, dishes, cooking, drinking and watering the gardens. We built our 175 sq ft home with materials off our land with only hand tools. We make raw goat cheese, and raw yogurt and drink milk from our goat and harvest wild edibles. We bake sourdough bread on our rocket mass heater and cook with only wood. We poop in a hole and clean ourselves with water. We’re super fancy.
If you would like to live similar but aren’t sure you’re up for it, come visit, stay or permanently live with us to find out! See how it feels living more directly with your immediate natural environment, and relying on technologies and electricity less.
**We may even be interested in renting out our handbuilt house if the right person was interested in having the whole place to themselves for a while and really wanted to get the full experience.
We’re also willing to trade food for work if someone wanted to do an off grid internship with us.
We’re wild abode living on Facebook, check out some photos there.
Thanks and and hope to hear from you!
