Biography
I love working with my hands and pondering life's questions. I joined Permie's because I saw some of the videos, and have lurked on here for a couple days, and realized that Permaculture might be the very thing I have been looking for in my life.
Its a breath of fresh air, I feel like this is something I am meant for!
Quick history on me:
I grew up every summer on my family farm in Ohio, my great grandfather passed before I graduated high-school and his 11 children fought over it, and sold the property piece by piece, and house by house.
Learning about Permie's, and reading the story about Mike Oehler. It really struck a cord with me on a personal level.
I wish I was old enough to save my grandfathers farm.
So this is my quest to learn the skills required, and make some friends along the way, to get back in touch with nature, and my roots!
(Sorry pun intended)
A brief career history on myself:
US Army- 10 years
Heavy diesel mechanic- 3 years
Operations/Logistics Coordinator- 3 years
Skills:
Gardening- Although I may be in a fourth floor apartment that doesn't stop me from building my own grow tent for my cooking herbs and pepper plants.
Pepper Variety- Tangerine dream, Shishito
Herbs- Garlic, Garlic Scape's, Parsley, Green Onion, Thyme, English Lavender
Rock-hounding/gold-panning- I have collected enough tools to start this hobby! I am a beginner, yet I am diving in head first this spring!
Woodworking- Beginner as well, I have joined a few forums, carved a few things, and will be building (proper) a tool list for this spring.
--I WILL UPDATED SKILL LIST AS I PROGRESS--
Thank you for reading this, I am looking forward to getting to know everyone, and to learn a few things along the way!
Cheers!

Hey there Josh!

Good Evening Everyone!


Jack here and with Spring right around the corner, I know we are all still recovering from that blizzard that blew through, but why focus on the negative!? I wanted to create this post and offer any help to anyone in the New England area, My fiancee and I are eager to learn more, and meet you wonderful folks!

So with that, feel free to respond to here, or shoot me a message if you need/want/or just looking to make some friends.


WE GOT SOME BADGES TO EARN AND FRIENDS TO MAKE!

I am a little late to the post, but to answer your first question.

Am I alright?: All things considered, I am arguably the healthiest I have ever been, But man I tell you, it has BEEN a long year.

My Fiancee and I moved out to New England last year to chase our dreams, and we have learned a lot since being out here! just the day to day stress of the economy and the world, I cant speak for her, but I have been really feeling it.

Lost my job, I am just thankful I have a supporting partner and some money put away for instances like this; plus that gives us time to work on getting some badges, so silver lining I suppose! Just generally stressed about the job market, and anxious for winter to be over and for us to go out and get our hands dirty!
Hey Mike!


Hows things going? This has been an awesome thread to read through! hows everything looking? your greenhouse looks awesome and the yoga area sounds fantastic! Did you end up putting some glass in there as well?



I hope all is well! Thanks for the inspiration!

Welcome and congrats on your journey!

What part of NH are you in?

I have friends in Northern NH and in Northern Maine who both have property where you could get your hands in the soil...

Good afternoon everyone!

My name is Jack, I am in my early 30s and I just learned about Permies and SKIP. I beleive this is a fantastic program, I bought the book and have been obsessed since. I finally built up the courage to make a post introducing myself.

Is there anyone in New England that is looking for some help? I live inside a small apartment, which I am super excited to get some badges for btw, but I am excited to get out there and learn!


Looking forward to chatting with everyone!


cheers!

Jack
