Hi there! It seems like you have may received help in the years since this posting. My fiancé and I are extremely interested in being able to help and learn from you! We do have four dogs, all well behaved and great at warding off bigger animal threats . We want to live full time in Alaska and homestead ourselves one day and something like this seems like a great step in the doors! My fiancé is great at building and repairing most things as well as hunting and gathering! I am better at the gardening but love to do the hard labor as well! My email is
jadehoffenberg@yahoo.com! I would love to hear from you folks!
