I am 38 years old and gay. I have given up on trying to find a guy currently and never have been good at having relationships. I have had this dream of homesteading. I just bought some land and am closing on it on Monday. I have not lived the homesteading life. When I get the place set up and live there it will be so new to me and exciting and challenging too. Currently living the city life working, can't wait to be able to work on my terms at my own homestead and reaping the rewards then looking into the mountains drinking a cup of coffee hanging out with a dog or two to protect me from mountain lions and bears.

Hi Grant,

Thank you for taking the time to write, and congratulations on your new land! There’s nothing quite like finally having the space to do things your own way.

The challenges are real, but so are the rewards. Just take it one day at a time and don’t be afraid to ask questions when you need to.

You never know who you’ll run across on your journey through life - Sometimes you find good company where you least expect it.

I wish you all the best, and may you find joy in each new skill and every sunrise over your mountains

Anyone who’s watched a season of “Alone” knows this truth: you can have all the survival skills in the world, but it’s the solitariness that gets to you. Time and again, it’s not lack of know-how but the absence of human companionship that makes even the toughest tap out.

I’ve learned the same lesson - no matter how self-reliant or prepared you are, facing life alone can wear on even the strongest spirit.

I’m a fit, active woman in my early 60s, living in the far north and well-versed in hands-on preparedness, practical skills, and off-grid living. From gardening and foraging to emergency planning, I’ve spent years gaining the skills and experience to handle just about anything life throws at me. But the human bond - true companionship - remains just as essential as any skill or plan.

That’s why I’m seeking a healthy, fit partner who values self-sufficiency, adaptability, and teamwork, and who also recognizes that sharing the journey makes it truly worthwhile. If you’re ready for a rugged lifestyle, open to relocation, and interested in building a partnership based on mutual support, loyalty, and trust, I’d love to connect.

If this resonates, please send a private message. Let’s start with thoughtful conversation and see where it leads.

Looking forward to forging a real connection with a fellow traveler on this path!

I’m a woman in my early 60s, exceptionally fit and active, living a self-reliant lifestyle. My days are spent gardening, foraging, and embracing the rhythms of the land.

I’m looking to connect with a like-minded Bug-Out-Buddy (and life-partner) to ride out the rest of this life’s journey, whatever it may bring - someone who values preparedness, survival skills, and the rewards (and challenges) of carving out an independent life off the beaten path. Adaptability, resourcefulness, and a taste for true wilderness living are essential.

If you’re interested in building a resilient, nature-rooted life based on mutual support and trust—and are open to relocating to a remote setting - I’d love to connect.

Please send a private message if this resonates with you.

Looking forward to forging a meaningful connection!

I’m a single woman in my early 60s, very fit and active - often mistaken for someone much younger. I’ve built a life close to nature in the far north, where most days are spent gardening, foraging, and living simply in step with the seasons. I’m happiest outdoors, working with my hands and making the most of each day.

I’m seeking a genuine, resilient partner—kind, dependable, and ready for the real work (and real rewards) of rural living. Good health and a positive, adaptable outlook are important, as is a willingness to relocate and build a life together off the beaten path.

If you value simplicity, honest conversation, and the satisfaction of meaningful work, and if you’re looking for a true partnership rooted in teamwork, trust, and shared purpose, I’d love to hear from you.

Please send a private message if this resonates with you. I’m happy to start with a good conversation and see what might take root.

Looking forward to meeting a kindred spirit!
