Howdy friend!
My name's Cam, I'm about 20 years old (I look and seem a good bit older than that, though) I grew up in the backwoods of South Carolina. I am an country boy, an outdoorsman, a farmer, a traveler, a writer (for nature magazines), a Carpenter, a
WWOOFer, a health coach, and a soon-to-be massage therapist. I write for
Mother Earth News Magazine and Backwoodsman Magazine. I've studied natural building techniques for years, along with
gardening, animal husbandry,
botany, foraging, nutrition, psychology, primitive skills, and wilderness bushcraft. I am a Primitivist in some sense.
The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. I've had to unlearn more things than I've had to learn. I believe that as children, we're born with an innate, instinctual, primal wisdom that is lost as we grow older the more we are influenced by society. I intend to reclaim that wisdom in order to become truly free, help heal the wounds of the people and Lands around me, and raise children that never lose that wisdom. My attitude in life is essentially that of a
Native American Indian (with a few caveats), and I spent some time living with Apaches and Lakota people in the Rocky Mountains.
I have a deep love of Nature and an appreciation of the interconnectedness of all things. I'm a practical, down-to-earth, pragmatic, gentle, laid-back, easy-going, ambitious, reserved, deep, open, simple, and warm sort of person. I'm also a spiritual, Biblical Christian, which is important to me, but I am not closed-minded or dogmatic. I am sane, awake, and have not fallen for the recent nonsense that our government has attempted to convince us of. Need I say more?
My aim is to start a homestead community and live a life in complete harmony with the
Land and with the Maker of the Land as much as I can. I'm aiming to do this in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, but I'm open to joining an existing community or going outside the USA to Central America or South America, if necessary. I am particularly interested in the tribes of the Amazon and their pristine cultures.
I referred to this as "the Ultimate Adventure" because that's precisely what it is to me: it seems to me like the ultimate accomplishment of a human being "made in God's image" to gently and lovingly nurture a Land into a garden of Eden---what could be greater than that these days? The Land, to me, is not just an inanimate set resources at our disposal to be used as we please, no, but rather, the Land is family to me, a living being, and therefore I take personal responsibility for the consequences of how I treat it. If all people shared this understanding, I do believe we wouldn't have so much of the problems we currently have in society.
I am looking for a woman who shares this way of thinking. I am searching for the one woman that I was made for and who was made for me. I do believe that a man and woman can unite and grow together so that they become like one person. I've been waiting for that my whole life, so I thought I would share it with you, for what it's worth. I look forward to hearing from you. (I've attached pictures of me below).
Thanks,
Cam
