First, Welcome! Glad to have the authors of “Building Your Permaculture Property” here!
I really would like to see more ideas and articles for people who are either contemplating going on the road F/T or already are, and also for older folks. Thank You.

Presumably full time. I'm about to join a steel ship for 2 years and so I second the call for more articles about more nomadic lifestyles.

Welcome to the forum, Karene!

I am a retired full-time RVer, will this count?

We retired from the lifestyle in 2009 when we bought land and a home. We had been on the road for 10 years.

If there are any questions you would like to ask I will be glad to answer them if I can.

Also you might enjoy this thread:

Answer: F/T = Full-Time


I don't know what is more surprising, how close I was with those random guesses, or that I have not seen full-time abbreviated that way before.
 
I didn't do it. You can't prove it. Nobody saw me. The sheep are lying! This tiny ad is my witness!
