Hi everyone,
Our group of 6 made of family and friends is on the road with our homestead.ย  We are heading southeast for the winter, andย would like to offer work or money in exchange for a place to stop for a few months.  Ideally we would get back on the road before July.  We are employed and self sufficient, and can offer either $400 a month for dry docking, or $475 with hookups.  Alternatively, we could offer 20 hours of labor per week if you have a project you'd like help with or just want some helping hands with winter and spring chores.
As we are traveling with our homestead, that of course means animals.  We have 5 mini lamancha milk goats and their two Pyrenees/lab mix guardians.ย  We have fencing for them that is pretty easy to set up and take down with each stop.ย  We also have 3 pugs who spend most of their time inside, and two cats who pretty much get their way because they're spoiled.
Between the 6 of us, we can get a bunch done, and bang out that 20 hours combined in one day a week so we can work our jobs the rest of the week.
We can feed ourselves, and have memberships at a gym for showering, so our water usage is minimal.  Our goal is to find a way to live as inexpensively as possible, save up, and purchase land with some like minded people, then be done with the system.  We collectively have varied skills...gardening and food preservation, baking, foraging, carpentry,ย  mechanics, herbal medicine and sound therapy.ย  We have old school interests such as wool work and basket weaving, so if you are home schooling and want your kids to learn some new survival skills, we can help teach!  
We do qigong in the mornings...a marvelous way to start a physically challenging work day, and great for the soul as well.  
We can provide pics, videos, references and ID for background checks, so if you or someone you know would like to host us for a few months, please reach out with any questions.  Thank you all so much, may you all be blessed with clean air and water ๐Ÿ™Œ

Hello.
We're a small family living looking to expand with people who can help us on our land here in SE Alaska. We have a few acres here that we hope to share with others like you perhaps, who are looking to settle somewhere in exchange for helping out. We would love to be growing more food and spending more time with like minded people. We'd like to hear more about your adventure. Our email address is laylozenoze@tutamail.com
Shalimar and Michael

Pheasants and a pyr, I love it!  Unfortunately I don't have anything online.  I have tried so many times but it is just too much to add on to everything else.  Have you got something I can check out?

I have 2+ acres near Amarillo, Tx.  I have a barn tall enough for a RV.  I don't have hook-ups, but maybe you could install them in exchange for your stay?  
The area is fenced with another larger fence around it.
