Hey, how goes it in the wilds of Tennessee? lol
I have been contemplating the very real possibility of a cabin and some land....Or, an RV and just travelling and working where I land.
I'm also single and gay and handy, but not so versed in permaculture, or farming. I didn't grow up in the city, but I didn't grow up on a farm either.
My grandparents used to grow cotton in Arkansas and when they moved to Illinois they always had a big garden and grew everything and every year I helped harvest whatever they had grown.
I hated digging potatoes because it was hot and dirty and there weren't any Tonka trucks, or tractors, or even a mudhole to play in. lol
Anyway, I just turned 53 on Halloween and I'm tired of being alone and tired of most people.
I'd love to chat with you and at least make a new friend if nothing else.
Hope to hear back from you soon.

He will follow me anywhere, but he is not to sure about the winters. You see, he has never been in snow deeper that an inch or two.  What are some of the areas and prices you have been looking at?

Ideally someone around my age give or take 5 or so years.

I've been so busy creating a homestead in Pennsylvania, that my feeling of isolation has snuck up on me and driven me from field and forest and before the glowing intimidation of this computer screen. I'm hopeless with computer technology, but I am a hardworking, very homosexual man just trying to figure out how to meet other homesteading gay men. No expectations, I just want to find a community and go from there. I am still strong enough and active enough to fell trees with my axe, build bridges with native rocks, and prepare unruly, teenage cocks (roosters) for a more civilized life in the freezer.

I am also a novelist, artist, and musician, if that means anything.  I have a very full pantry of food I canned myself, and no sane man would resist my cooking. Before homesteading I was a farm-to-table chef. Just seeing if there's anyone out there reading this thread.

Oh, and I might mention: I speak Irish Gaelic, but the auto-corrupt features on computers these days won't let me type "as Gaeilge"
