Hi I am a 37 year old male and am in the Pacific North West ISFJ-T

I am looking for someone to share my dream of building something meaningful and lasting that that allows us to live comfortably without needing to rely on grocery stores amazon etc. I think that most of what you need can be found around you if you look hard enough. Im a believer in helping your neighbors in anyway you can.

I want to build a house my/our selfs. I have plans drawn up but am always open to suggestions. My current line of work has taught me that feedback is the most important part of a project and that being flexible makes everything go smoothly. I am an over planner, I form the plan I would like to follow and have at the very least 2-3 steps of what if solutions thought of if not laid out. I currently have my eye on some land just outside of Glacier NP in Montana. Nothing huge (~5 acres ) but enough to have animals and a reasonable garden. I have no desire to buy/take over someone else's place unless it is just going to be used for storage. I currently don't have a time frame for starting but sooner rather than later would be great.
I'm open to all types of homesteading but my ideal would be semi off grid (at least to start)

I'm looking for a woman near my own age that's up for the adventure.  I am skilled in many aspects of building a homestead but am looking for someone that has more of the "soft skills". (garden planning, preserving etc) I am a fast learner and always eager to help.
I am extremely quiet and reserved almost to the point of being a hermit. If I open up and start talking to you I feel comfortable and that doesn't happen often. Im not a complainer and rarely ask for things. I believe in buy once cry once.


Im not political but i think a Communalism would fit well with who i am (not Communist)

im about 6 ft tall, ~ 160 lbs graying hair, reasonably fit ( and getting fitter )
Im in addiction recovery and want someone who supports me in my goal for that. Im in addiction recovery and want someone who supports me in my goal for that.  
Im a giver and provider but want and respect a woman who is able to provide for themselves.

I love fishing, hiking, exploring, road trips, building/fixing things, solving problems, listening to music and sports.

A perfect no real cost date to me would be to drive further into the wilderness on a clear night, lay on a blanket and watch for shooting stars while talking about our dreams and goals.


I'm open to talking to anyone, if I'm slow to respond please be patient. This is new to me and I'm nervous. If you just have thoughts or suggestions on my rough plan for the homestead id like to hear about those too.

It sounds like we are at the same point in our permaculture journey. I hope that you find what you are looking for.

Hello
I've been lurking on the permaculture and homesteading sub reddits and finally decided to join here.
I'm 37 and single. Currently living in the PNW, travel through OR and WA quite a bit and love the Columbia River Gorge
Ive worked the last 17 years in information technology and the stress has really started to take a toll on my health. Ive decided that i need to step away sooner rather than later

I value quality over quantity and despise the single use world that we are moving towards. I think that the electric cars will do more damage to environment in the long run.

I absolutely love living in the mountains, ive been fortunate to be able to for the last few years.

I'm looking for somewhere to volunteer/labor at to let my mind and body heal

I have skills in all things mechanical and engineering. (Construction, Electrical, Plumbing etc)
I love working with my hands and seeing results at the end of the day.
I'm going to be the quietest person you may ever meet.
I have severe social anxiety and also deal with ADHD. I've found manual labor helps tremendously.

If you know of anywhere thats looking for laborers please let me know.
Im also looking for some friends, the people around me dont value the same things that i do. After reading quite a few posts i think ive found a home.
