Hi everyone, I've started a homesteading project in Eastern TN with the goal of collecting a small dowry of farm animals and then looking for someone in the mountains with land who wants a little homestead community or even just help.
It's been challenging to say the least, keeping up with tiktok documentation to show what we have and are capable of.  I do most of the work on my own while my partner works a job to keep bills paid.  I've come to decide that it might be in my best interest to invite someone else in on this adventure, or at least have a place to camp out for a while and get some hands on experience.
The challenge here is that I've quite primitive.  Composting waste, bedroom in a tent, storage and kitchen in rv and trailer.  I'm trying to dig a well by hand...that's awesome.  I have two dogs, two cats and three sheep so far.  Chickens are coming as soon as I finish building their housing, which I would love help with.
I'm studying natural medicine as well as sound therapy, and am very fond of my privacy and the sounds of nature, and music created by bowls, flutes and gongs, so please no gas powered stuff running all day, we can work out times for it, thats no problem, I do have some battery powered tools so im not a crazy person, lol, just not every day...communication is all.  Anyone interested?
Also, anyone in the mountains looking for help with life's chores in exchange for an acre that we could settle on?
Anyone who wants to check out my tiktok page please do a search for epiphaniesandteachings
Thanks!!!

This sounds interesting. I would like to learn to live in more ways that are primitive, and continue then with living with that. I would gladly be growing a lot of things, with others, for what will be needed there, with aiming for us to be independent with that. I live yet in California, I was away recently in the mountains in Colorado learning what I could, for that. But now I would want to move to where I could be more permanently doing those things yet learning more ways, to continue with. I would like, to start with, talking with others interested in things like this.
