Hi David,
I see your original post is from a year ago but I was curious how things are going with your community building? Hopefully by now you've attracted some kindred folks with skills to share and are well on your way to creating the sustainable wilderness oasis you envisioned!
I am currently looking for a community such as you describe. I am a 40 year old female, mother of a 9 year old boy who is homeschooled, and I own a 25 ft trailer which we live in full time. For the past year we have been on land in rural southwest Idaho, on a friend's homestead. But I'd really love to be where there are multiple families working to build together (more hands, skills, more resources = more possibilities, lighter work load!) and I am looking to move a bit more south due to the harsh Idaho winters. My son and I have experience working/living rurally, land development projects, gardening and caretaking animals. I have studied extensively and been self-employed in the field of holistic medicine for several years and bring that knowledge as a benefit to share with community. I deeply share your values of living in co-creation with nature and in service of life. I values personal health sovereignty and interdependence and building self-sufficiency. But finding the right community all starts with relationship. So if you are still looking for folks to join you on your land, I would like to chat and explore further. You can reach out to me at

Warmly,
Anna
