Joel,
Are you still online?
Are you still following this thread?
Are you currently working on your land?
Basically - How is your project progressing?
I have 40+acres in North Central Nevada and was thinking the same as you!
I've tried listing my project on ic.org as the High Desert Permaculture Research Institute but I've not gotten any serious people to join me.
Maybe it's because of the vacant land and starting from scratch - I don't know.
Anyway....
I'm curious about yours and would be able to come and participate in some way. I have my survival gear and live 100% off-grid and on the land for 3 years now.
Let me know where your at with this please!
thanks
