Hello!  
I love the arid mountains!  
Absolutely love God's creation - the animals, the plants, the rocks, the clouds....ok love everything except the bugs.
Love aiding healing with herbs, nutrients and many natural means - using God's amazing creation.
Dream of someday owning land in the mountains, building a SIREWALL house, having horses, goats, quail and learning to live off the land.
Love learning from, and helping others, but don't have anyone to learn from or help with projects.
Wonder sometimes if there is a man that is not afraid to be a man; who leads, works hard, humble, compassionate and strong.

Currently working full time to pay the bills and also take care of my Dad full time, since my mom went to heaven. (they were married 49 years ♥)
Dabble in geophysics, herbalism, foraging, auto maintenance, 1700's way of life, etc.
Raised with a solid Christian upbringing (not in the mainstream mess), and God is the most important aspect of my life, above all.
I've never "dated" in the past, and would like to meet like-minded folks, develop honest relationships, see where things go naturally.

A few "don'ts"☺:  I don't smoke, chew, do drugs, tattoos, or go with guys that do.  Apolitical, work with tech but prefer to stay off and away from tech/EMF, not a crowd or party person (I love home or the mountain wilderness!),

p.s. I don't like to post pics on the web, but love sharing pics with good, trusted friends.

Good luck, but I am interested in the sirewall house, can you send photos!
In Australia there is a joke going around,
"Wanted nice woman, must have  car and boat, please send photos of boat"!
Seriously I had not heard the term SIREWALL before
What is SIREWALL?
Structural   Insulated   Rammed   Earth
SIREWALL, is a structural sandwich wall system typically 20″ to 24″ thick
Local soils combined with 9% cement are compacted on either side of a hidden insulation core
Stabilized with compacted earth and rebar, with 4″ of rigid insulation hidden in the centre of the wall (rebar is used in seismic zones)

Hi,
I wish you good luck. That 'not chewing' requirement looks tough, though.
I love learning too, even after I discovered that learning is an euphemism for 'failure'.

I already have my half orange, but I'd like to suggest adding your current location and your willingness to move to other (arid mountain) places.
Even if you are looking just for a friendly hand, distance might be an issue.

John, Isn't SIREwall facinating?  It is similar "technology" that was used to build the Great Wall of China - I'd love to build a house to last for generations!  
This site has some great info about all the benefits: https://www.sirewallusa.com/wow
This site has mostly business photos, but still beautiful - I love the natural beauty:  https://sirewall.com/projects/

Thank you Abraham and Tom!  I am a newbie and I already messed up by posting in the wrong section. Feel free to delete this post if needed. I will repost appropriately.
