Hello!
My name is Stephen, I'm a Major in the Canadian Army and 44 years old. I would like to leave the Canadian Forces and join individuals, or community members in an off-grid self sustainable community starting or established in Canada, (Atlantic Canada or Alberta in particular if possible).   I am knowledgeable in small arms, fieldcraft, some electrical (I apprenticed a couple of summers for my dad who has a Masters in Electrical), basic home repair, power engineering and have several years of self defence Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  I grew up in northern Alberta, and don't mind learning new skills or hard outside work.   I am spiritual, a recognized Pagan in the Canadian Armed Forces.  I am LGBTQ+ Pansexual, and am easy going and well natured.  I am a protector of my loved ones, and want only to live a happy, connected life to nature.  I have a small military pension and severance package I will be able to bring to any community who accepts me.  I am a non-tobacco smoker, non drinker,  I practice yoga, meditate 2 hours a day and avoid all mainstream media just to keep my sanity in this crazy world!  I see the writing on the wall of where main stream society is headed and I want no part of this lifestyle.

I'm not looking for any type of romantic relationship at this point, and just want to be a hard working, positive influence through love and understanding with those I am around.
If I sound like a person who your community would like to have, please reach out to me, I really would love to hear from you.    

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Have a wonderful day.

S.

Veteran female with pension in ontario. I'm already living off grid if you want to have a Lil parcel on the homestead here.
Been in Alberta for my army career...I am northern ontario now.

Hey Stephen, hope the move went well! I'm leaving the CAF in a year after 10 as an avionics tech. Me and my partner are looking at property in Kent county.

Did you end up finding a spot?

Just checking how things turned out for you.
We would be open to considering having someone join us out in Northern BC on our off grid wilderness homestead.  Many hands and all that.
 
I wasn't selected to go to mars. This tiny ad got in ahead of me:
