I own 20 acres of wooded/ open land srrounded by much more of the same on an undeveloped road that will remain undeveloped for a very long time at the very least. We are completely off grid yet only 15 minutes from town. I build a house for myself and another i rent out. I have lived here for 20 years and now having a good idea of what works, what doesn’t, I am looking for others who might fit in to grow with this land from here. Wild wood building, trailer beds to strip and bulid on, outdoor kitchen, gardens, pocket orchards, more ponds, batch box rocket mass heaters, just to name a few. :) I am not financially flush by any means, so for lack of cash and pro earth, re/freecycling and DYI is the way of life here. Not for the faint of heart or romanticizer. There is one 20 trailer available for work trade. Other possibilities to be discussed. You must be able to take good care of yourself and contribute in a healthy and substantial manner. We do not have guns, cats, smoke tobacco or grow weed. We are queer friendly and believe in multi cultural equality. I am looking for those who are truly physically motivated, generous of spirit and emotionally mature. Your neighbor matters. Primary basic principle. … if your ok I’m ok. Women encouraged to apply.

Please shoot me an E mail if there is still space available. I have been doing DIYing for a year or so now with a friend by dumpster diving and recycling. I would be glad to talk about what other skill sets I have in Email .I also want to quickly mention that I plan on relocating in April- Ma.
I hope to hear back from you soon. Thank you.
Peaceful Diligence
Hello, Love that Basic Principle
I spent a year volunteering on Organic gardens to study sustainable living models. I went to Texas and traveled from east to west for that year and saw many different models, including communal living, since that is my eventual goal. I learned and saw a lot. I realized that it is not only possible but quite feasible. That lifestyle provides the quality of life I am seeking.
I have seen how I can enjoy what I do, every day, and have a simple life that I can be happy in. I look forward to finding my place and being welcomed into that peaceful existence. This has excited me about the next chapter in my interesting life, which has led me to drafting this email to see if we may want to work together to make our futures as enjoyable and productive as we can.
Hopefully,
P

I recently was laid off from Halliburton and lost both my parents and my dog. I am ready to move out of the cu=ity and move off grid. I am putting everything in storage next weekend.
I am great at survival inventions and making showers and toilets and things that do not require lights but flushes and the shower is better than the one in a house.
I hope to hear back from someone.

Hello all. Living off-grid has been a long-time interest of mine, as well, and I have lots of great assets to contribute to such a picture, if it felt right for me and the other(s). I have rather good resources, knowledge, skills… I am very holistically-oriented, and can tell you how to heal almost any disease with much greater success than the medical industry. I am very grounded. The Asheville, NC area has my greatest interest for several reasons; temperate climate, sustainability, 4-seasons, good precipitation, soil, wildlife, and especially the culture and people… Looking forward to finding out about your journey.
Peace, Cole

I’m very excited to have found this! my boyfriend and I have been looking for a place to move off-grid for several months now. We don’t have much money but we have lots of skills to contribute. We want to start a life where the work we do directly contributes to our life, not just making money and buying things. We want to work hard to make a life that is harmonious with nature and to help our neighbors do the same.
I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hi, really liked your post. I have been searching for an off grid, diverse community. I am a hard worker, committed, nonjudgmental, sane. I currently live in Arizona and have for 25 years, stable. I think off grid living is hard work and would like to talk more. Single, active. Please contact me. Where are you located?

HI,
not to sound like an ass or nothing, but “We do not have guns, cats, smoke tobacco or grow weed” does this line mean you wont take anyone in that has them?

My wife and I are off grid and have been for 2 years. We love it but are by ourselves. Would not mind connecting to share ideas etc.
