I'm not looking for an older guy! And I don't need to be taken care of! I am a young middle-aged solo mom with two awesome kids. I've given up on owning my own property due to the fact that it's crazy expensive and I'm not sure if when shtf owning anything will actually mean it's yours. More than anything I just want to learn with like my ended individuals that want to learn how to live off the land in any environment,to be open to moving with the seasons if need be. It's hard living in a world with no support system.
In the area that we're living in North Idaho my kids are involved in archery rifle I got them in wilderness schools boyscouts foraging walks, it has a lot to offer for learning opportunities I like to stay but I'm open to moving anywhere else on the west coast to find my tribe if it's safe. But the people here are not friendly for the most part they're only looking to get ahead such as older men looking for a younger women with kids thinking women are desperate enough to settle with old men just for security for what's to come and that's not me!
If you're a legitimate family and interested My email is amandacambe90@gmail.com

I am a widow, now an only parent to my kids and I get what you mean, its gross. Would love to see if we are a good fit for a community family. Email or purple message me here. Opal.althoff@gmail.com
Look forward to hearing from you

Hey opal if you don't remember a couple years ago we talked on the phone and the plan was for me and my kids to come to your property but at the same time you allowed another single mom and her kids come and then when it was time for me you told me that you wanted to just see how things go with that first family. But then offered me to stay on another piece of property you had and when I asked if I can take you up on that offer you ignored me.

I didn't ignore you, not intentionally Amanda, I am so sorry if it came off that way. Many emails and busy life happened I am sorry if you feel that way. My happenings of  the events, was 1 bad internet connection attempt at a video chat which switched to a nice conversation on the phone. I had been speaking to the other Mom with 3 kids for more than 6 months at that time, and she had just moved in. They were in Trauma and no emotional space for new people, I was being respectful of all involved. I have every right to make the proper choice for the good of the community. You said you had a short time frame like 2 weeks or so. I offered the other property as a temporary so we could continue to get to know each other, all 3 families with kids. You refused, wanted to look at other options. I barely knew you and I have to be protective of the communities needs over 1 family.  That was your choice. I never saw another email from you and you had my phone number as well. Please don't make me look bad, you did not say the full story.

I'm not sure why you wrote me that long paragraph defending yourself on my post. What you said was partially correct but I reached out to you multiple times and each time they were ignored. You gave me a time frame that I could come to the property and once that other girl showed up that went out the window and you wanted to push it off longer because this girl just arrived on the property I'm not asking for an explanation at all but the fact is you did offer me a spot at the other property and I said I was going to look at other options because I didn't want to live someplace by myself building up on someone else's property alone but I would keep that in the back of my head and then when I asked you about it again over and over again it was ignored that's the facts this was about two two and a half years ago

I wrote that to correct your miscommunitions online about me. I am trying to build a community of drammaless people and I feel you are slandering me here online with dishonesty. I did not ignore you. Now this latest message is worse with untruths. That is not the way it happened. What you have said here is still incorrect. Wow. Please STOP. Please leave me out of this. This is all I want to say on this matter. Some of our text messages bellow ( it started sooner than you think.) I didn't speak to you "Years" ago. Maybe you have me confused with someone else. I spoke with you this past Spring/Summer for the first time ever and you were living in Oregon, and had moved from Post Falls but wanted to move back to North Idaho at the time. I have proof in these text what you say is incorrect, Here are some of our last text......
Also our First text Ever was in April 2023

May 24, 2023 Message from you, I have the property in Clark Fork, you can start with 30 days there and see how we all do hanging out and getting to know each other and the kids, But it is 100% off grid. Lets talk, when you can, I'm sure we can figure it out , Wednesday, May 24 2023, 9:41 PM.

May 25, 2023Message from you, I think it will work here , but can you try Clark Fork first? Nothing personal, it honestly the other family that just got here, we have not settled yet together. And throwing in another family at this time is, too soon, too much chaos honestly. We/I just need another month to get our flow before I invite more people., Thursday, May 25 2023, 1:18 PM.
