Hi Melissa!
Your proposition is awesome and I might be a good match.
I have spent the last three years getting ready to get out homesteading and I had a deal with a friend for some land that fell through, and haven't yet been able to locate any small parcels for sale.
I have skills in multiple disciplines that are highly appropriate. I have a large amount of all kinds of gear and tools. I can provide solar power and want to get completely off-grid. I'm a back to the land hippie type with similar views to yours on cannabis and alcohol. I'm a multi instrument musician, (sometime band member) and songwriter as well as being talented at other arts including drawing and painting and, well, really, anything I try and spend enough time with I get good at. Musically, I like a lot of genres but like classic rock the most, mostly for the reason that classic rock is the only genre that routinely uses all the other genres, so listening to classic rock to get to hear a little of everything. If I have a distaste for music it is usually because of negativity. I tend to not like death-metal/ thrash rock or rap for that reason, but if it's not negative I'm willing to give it a try. I just want music to lift my spirit, not
I have experience with gardening and raising animals. I absolutely love goats and have raised many, but am not too big on swine. (I suppose I could tolerate them if I couldn't persuade you otherwise) (Chickens and goats is the combination to have IMO).
I use an ebike and trailer instead of any traditional vehicle, but it is never bad to have a pickup around or perhaps a utility ATV. If I don't have to buy land I could swing one or both of those. I also have a second ebike if you're into giving that a try. I don't hate cars, but I do hate "car culture."
I'm glad you have found the libertarian philosophy. I find the fact that you were able to change or clarify your political view to be amazingly impressive. I'm also a libertarian who cured himself of the insanity of progressivism. I'd love to hear more about what changed your mind. I'm trying to figure out if that or your awesome good looks are the more impressive and probably will never figure that out. Freckled redhead with blue eyes? Quite my type.
So, you know, I came here to learn more about permaculture and wasn't expecting a "singles" section. I read through a dozen or so threads single women have posted. A couple were interesting, but all had, if not a deal-killer at least some negatives. But the biggest thing I didn't like was how many didn't respond to the guys who answered.
You have what I need and I've got what you need, it looks like to me.
I don't necessarily mind if it only works out as room-mate, but have a bit of concern about my future if the right guy
does come along. If you had interest in creating a planned community that would alleviate a lot of that concern.
So yeah it looks like it could work from my end.
You can email

Thanks for the opportunity!
David
