I'm 53 years old, single and no children. I've been researching, planning and preparing for an the off-grid dream.
I come from a family of farmers. While I have a formal education, I'm a hard-worker, enthusiastic, think outside-the-box, and am positive there is always a solution.
I've been reading alot about chickens, building structures, tools and equipment, survival and security. I was a mechanic in the Navy, am an attorney and was most recently working in environmental (and health and safety) regulatory work. I care about the environment but am not a tree hugger. I am all about sustainability, but we do have to live in this world. I am great with a shotgun (sporting hobby) but want to learn about rifles.
I have experience living off-grid mountain in Northern CA for a year. No electricity. Used potbelly stove for heat during winter. I loved it.
I don't have any "baggage." I am fun to be around, but enjoy solitude as well. I'm looking for someone or a couple to explore off-grid living. It would be nice to support one another and share chores. An established site is okay as well. I prefer the middle to northern U.S. - mostly for safety and clean water (also bc I lived in TX for decades and am done with fire ants, cockroaches and alligators - haha).
As far as timeliness? I'm ready now, but I am presently looking for land.
So happy to have found this site. My first post.
May everyone be blessed with positive experiences!
Christine
