Like the post says - I'm in NW MT and not sure where I'm landing, kind of bouncing around and trying to land somewhere I can open a fish farm/aquapondics/research station and work on sustainability initiatives of all sorts, get away from being in front of a laptop all day long to make better annoying sidebar advertisements and stock prices and trying to pretend the world isn't burning...I'd rather try to fight fires and save fish, not sure how but it needs to happen sooner than later if its going to happen. I Live for the woods, the mountains, the waters - some days I think I'm just going to walk into the forest and never return I play lots of musical instruments, sing, dance, understand lots of science but don't really get most people...I just don't care about money, I wish I had enough to measure each day by how much more I was able to give away to people instead of if I can pay a mortgage on a condo I can't stand to live in any more - that's why I'm bouncing around MT - I couldn't stay in CO in skitown resort hell any longer, I need to have land I can work and a massive garden like I had growing up, I was lucky enough to live in an ancient mining cabin outside SLC for a decade but that still felt like a suburb of the city not the real wilderness...
In any case be well, be safe, thanks for reading this far...I sound like such a catch in this post, I blame the marketing department lol...

SW OR Scientist and permie living F here.  Sounds like your fairly frustrated by your situation and looking to make a change for the better. One step at a time and you'll get there.

bumping an old post instead of posting a new one...

So now I'm 56, recovering from a spine surgery that might be just a little life changing (no more 70 lb packs uphill for miles just to get to the base of the objective...), back in a condo/hotelroom in CO but I'm selling and will use the money to land somewhere and grow the permifarm...looking for a compatible partner, I'm partial to mountains and winter instead of summer all the time, I'd rather be in the woods alone than downtown in a crowd most of the time, consider myself an honest conservative so I sound a lot like a liberal sometimes, don't believe in handouts but I also don't believe in exploitation just because it is legal, I think Corporate Crimes should be Capital Crimes etc...I care about the welfare of strangers, I ask everyone what their name is so I can treat them like a human and make them happy they interacted with me...Im a nice guy - we finish last. You'd think that alone would be a selling point lol

In any case I'm looking at places like the UP of MI, the MN boundary waters area, MT WY AK (not sure I could stomach what Idaho is becoming), I was raised Roman Catholic but I consider myself more of a shitty buddhist I DO things, I haven't seen most TV shows or movies because I would rather work on my robot army of farmbots.

I me me me me ....blarf....  Anyone out there feel like talking ? I'll try to not fall off the planet again like I did 2 years ago...

Hello there! Yes I would like to talk. I am very interested in so-called green building, aquaculture, and land restoration. I am in North Alabama, with an eye towards moving north along the Appalachian Range. My children are both adulting better than I ever did, from a certain point of view.
Let's see,  talk about me. 47 year aged single female. I share a home with my mother and two dogs. I have two grown children, who have both married with children of their own. One lives in the Florida panhandle, the other in Nashville metro.
They're the most exciting thing in my life these days.
I love to read, but have resorted to endlessly rereading my collection, with the occasional non-fiction added in. I am gradually making my way through available texts on this and other sites. I have an extensive dvd library too. I go through periods of binge watching or reading, then go weeks without.
I don't fit in a neat little box politically. I do consider myself a patriot. I'm not finding a great deal in the actions of government or political groups that isn't horrifying appalling.
Goals going forward: continuing to live my best possible life, learning new things, in pursuit of happiness. I'd like to share that with someone.
Blessed be!
gift
