Dear Jennifer

I expected your post to draw a massive crowd. Where are all the Captain America, swooping in and take you too happily ever after. I do not understand. Your very smart, passion-ed about your dream. You look great, have a lot going for you. I believe you will succeed with hard work and determination. Oops I just answered my own question. (Hard work) seams to be a stumbling block.

Jennifer, I am self-employed 35 years and counting, financially secure, in good condition physically and mentally. I spend many years in project management. Strong problem-solving skills. Handyman type, jack of all trades. Work well and safe with others, alone and without supervision. No stranger to hard labour. I sounds like I am applying for a job.  No Jennifer I am going to donate my time to your dream. Sort off paying it forward.  I have a few projects that I need to complete here before I can leave. Could fly out early February, must return by March 20th, I already booked and paid for a trip to Japan on March 25. I am in Zone 3 so January to March year after year I get cabin fever, so I travel a lot. This spring I visited Austria, Italy, France and Monaco. Got some awesome photos, great history there. Before that a few trips to Thailand among other destinations. So, if that works for you, connect with me to work out details. If you are wondering why I waited, I had to make sure I want to do this. Will see how this works out. Perhaps you find a reason to keep me on this continent.

Apologies, I left quite a few blanks to fill in. Well, this is a public forum you understand. A little mystery will keep them coming back to your post to see what will happen. Curiosity is a powerful thing.

Hi Jen

I understand your concern and know the challenge you face. Going off grid attracts also individuals looking for a free ride. One reason I have not opened my place for others to join. Hope things work out for you, keep in touch.

Hello Jen,

Curious what made you buy that land? Are you looking to establish a community there, or just working the land to be self sufficient?
A lot of people dream about going off the grid. Too many articles written on that subject making it sound great and easy. I am off grid for the last 10 years, It was not planned, I just needed a financial brake for a while. It was a struggle to survive the first Winter. Minus 40 C turns propane into a jelly. Not much gas evaporates to keep the furnace supplied at - 40 C.  Within two years I was back on my feet looking to buy another home until I realized this is home, my freedom.
Sorry for the rumbling, just want to say I know what it takes to live off grid. So if you want to chat or If I can help you in any way let me know. Please don't worry I now have a super modified Rocket mass heater so -40 is no longer a problem. lol
