Ready to live off grid? Come join us. - 2021

Hello to the people who see this through synchronicity,

My husband and I own land in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest in south eastern Kentucky. The nearest landmark is Cumberland Falls State Resort Park. We do not have neighbors for miles in all directions. We live completely off grid with solar power, a wood stove, rain water collection, and a compost toilet. Our garden is currently about a quarter acer, we have chickens and we forage for food in our woods. We produce about half of what we consume but the goal is to get to 100 percent. We have been here for 3 years and we have fallen in love with the land and forest. However, one thing is missing. Community. If you are interested to meet us and our land please reach out. We are open hearted and welcoming to all that desire to live in harmony with the land and one another. We have spots for you to bring a  camper or tiny house if you have one until a more permanent building is established. Kids are welcome! We are currently expecting our first little one to arrive in October.

Best,
Olivia and Austin

Hey Olivia and Austin,

I'm bikebackpacking through the states right now, looking for a friendly destination out there. Synchronicity maybe?

How's the temperature over there? What kind of plants do you grow? What kind of help do you need? I've been studying permaculturish things for years, but I've never found a place where I can put them into practice. There's so much to do. It would be brilliant to finally have an opportunity at experiencing it all; like hugelkulturs, cobb-building, fermentation, soil layering, harnessing solar energy-- all of the usual gist, and any other new and unknown things-- whatever help is needed.

I'd be willing to work hard to be immersed in a place where that kind of stuff is going down. Could stay in my tent. The lifestyle of wandering gets super lonely, so the company of others would be super lovely. I'd hope to become good friends.

Anyways, let's reach that 100%?

Me and a friend are new to permaculture - but are excited to learn more and work hard. We'll be graduated from college in 2 years. If you'll are still open to community when that time rolls by we'd love to be part of your community

I'm also very new to permaculture, but I'm trying to educate myself. I actually just started the SKIP/PEP program. I live in Washington, so I can't pick up & move immediately. Mostly I'm just putting out feelers for potential (hopefully soon) future outcomes. I'd love to hear/see more. It is my great desire to live more harmoniously with/connected to the land & life around me.

I am rather poor meaning there is not lots of money for me to spend, but I am very interested in this, living offgrid with using what is available from the natural environment, in simplicity with sustainability in living, and growing things for what is needed with some foraging, and planting back, not taking more than is needed. I need someplace to actually live like this, and have studied for ways to do this.

This post is a year old but I just found it and am interested  Please contact me if you are still wanting like-minded community.  Thank you!

Hey i like vagabonding too....... i sent you a message on here, but this is to make more certain that you receive a notification in your email

well here we are in western Texas.  I'm 62 and a dentist , my husband is 60 and he's a physicist.  We live a minimalist lifestyle where we live today.  We do have air conditioning that we use during the +100 degree days but there is very little energy use here for us during the cool months of october through May.   that being said we are both going to retire soon ( I am already retired) and we have no family to speak of.   My last remaining family member is a sister, I have a neice and nephew from her and there are distant relatives we never hear from.   when you get to your 60s there is a lot of water under the bridge and while I believe the majority of our life decisions have been the best decision we could make with the available information we are now seeing worrying signs that living on fossil fuels is over and it appears that genocide is coming for the Western United States.    So very much to talk about but life is an adventure and we are in the last part of that adventure but a long way from believing it's over.   I want to leave this world better than when I entered it and it looks as though this is not going to be the case.  If you  still would like to explore I would love to talk with you and possibly come visit.

Hi lovely souls! Congratulations on living the true life! I'm so happy for you! And congrats too on your new little one on the way! 💜🌈

I am looking to get out of this nutty rat race, I have extensive knowledge in my native ancestor's permaculture methods and I love working and collaborating on projects with like-minded people who love freedom and living off the land and most of all I LOVE growing plants. I'm a minimalist and raw vegan and I have a deep spiritual connection with mother earth and plants and animals love me! I also have my cat Jada who is my best friend and I have made a promise to take care of her for life because she has no teeth.

I have a humongous seed bank of thousands of all organic delicious fruits and veggies and I'm continuing to grow it every day for the day I can finally plant them and share the bountiful harvest with my friends and community family. I'm all alone right now except my cat... I'm the black sheep so I mainly focus my energy and effort learning as much as I can so I can be helpful when I finally find a place to call home.

I am also currently working on recreating megalithic structures, if you're interested I can elaborate more! I want to open source this method for everyone. It is very easy to recreate these massive stone walls that last for thousands of years!

Cheers and God bless,

Evyienne Tlá

Congrats on the little!
The boone forest area is beautiful! My family lives about 2 hours north of you in the tristate!

We are looking to build community a little closer to us in olive hill/ morehead area but it would be really wonderful to meet you all! Perhaps we can set something up the next time we head  to slade or Winchester.
