Hey bud, glad you popped up because your offering the exact kind of help I'm looking for and I can help you with learning foraging, forestry and anything else an impromptu camping trip calls for. Keep in touch.

Perfect! Have you read any of the earlier posts about @s-h-e-p? If not check this out. It explains how to organize a blog and how to give that blog the most exposure to find other helpers.

I am glad you found this post, my friend.

I followed the link and signed up to follow. Major confidence booster thanks bud

You are welcome, my friend.

You are doing wonderful work! All the best to yourself and Nietzsche in your travels!! 😊

Thank you so much, that means a lot.

You are special. Most people tend to look down on people who can't do anymore. You've proven there is hope for humanity yet!

Awwww, thank you soooo much! I agree that apathy and arrogance seem to be gaining ground, but then you meet some great people and know that good still exists in the world.

Oh, your words resonate so much with how I think and feel. So good to read! I wish you all the best with future projects, places and people. Soon I should get around to writing a similar post about myself.

Thank you so much. Yes please create your shep-heard post. I need blogs to curate and if people are using it, it motivates others to do the same.

I look forward to reading yours when it finds it way onto Steemit.

Ahh if you are ever in New Zealand - there is always a place to stay here :) Things to do and lovely people to meet :)

I have a few friends that have been there and ALL want to go back.

Just knowing that the landscape there was used for Lord of the Rings is enough of a seller for me.

It's definitely on my to do list. Thank you so much.

You're most welcome :)

i'm coming too ;) @tipu send tip

Now you know ain't none of this happening without me!! lol

You and I sound like we'd get along. A lot of what you said here resonates with me.

You are building such massive amounts of different capitals through doing this, it's incredible! You are worth so much.

I mean you are collecting intellectual, experiencial and social capital all in one trip everytime you go somewhere like that! My brain is also like a sponge that never gets saturated... I'm addicted to learning I think.

Hopefully we can meet this summer @notconvinced, as soon as we have a little bit better of a plan I'll make a post about our outdoor kitchen build.

Ps: the rules at No Man's Land are simple.

  1. When a new dog is introduced into the area, everyone goes on leash untill we can see they like eachother enough to let loose. (We've seen one too many dog fights, so that's the rule now).
  2. Respect the neighbors and the land
  3. Be Nice
  4. If you get offended, take a breath, relax and think about it a while (in other words, check yourself), than we can talk about it. There are people from many different walks of life coming here.
  5. No politics
  6. No heavy drugs

Those all sound fair to me...My dog is the one that gets attacked...So I carry mase and a taser to protect him.

I have actually been thinking that visiting your future property and helping out is exactly the type of setup I am looking for, brother.

I'll be looking for your kin-shep post.

I'm working on a save the date kin-shep post right now. May take a couple of days, while we juggle life events...

The mase is such a good idea, I've been bit breaking up a dog fight!

One more thing, is your dog used to kids? (Not the kinds that pull on their tails and stuff, ours has been tought to be respectful to animals but he is only 3 and a half!)

He is fine around kids and is not at all the hyper type. But he's actually scared of them and keeps his distance.

Well that's good. Our little guy is old enough now we can tell him to leave certain animals alone and explain why a bit! Cool

If your kid likes to pet dogs, it won't be long until Nietzsche warms up to him. He's just so used to me keeping him away from people when we jog in the park, he thinks I am doing it to keep him from danger. So keeping his distance is more training than fear. I should have explained that better.😀

Its all good. You explained it just fine either way. But thanks for that. Yea he likes petting them! Just uesterday he was asking for a dog!

But, if there are any doubts about the other dogs there, I won't drive 2000 miles to just turn around...

No worries, I will tell you ahead of time if there will be dogs when you come. We personally do not have a dogs yet, and just a few friends have them. It was one specific dog who had two fights and belonged to a friend who will not be around as we've had a falling out anyways!

But, understandably I wouldn't drive 2000 miles either if there was a doubt!

Sounds good. I hope all your goals roll out as planned, my friend.

Thanks and same for you friend!

Yeah!!!

So happy you have jumped right into this project of yours!

This is inspiring me to get my ducks at least identified and make an #kin-shep post!

The plans for our year end in a big hitchin party...but we are accelerating the homestead plan by many years to accomplish this.

Tethered to home by this adventure this summer we would love to play hosts to the right folks.

Perfect! I will be looking for your post and hope you accomplish all you plan to.

Would love to see your #kin-shep post! My fella and I are moving currently, but are looking forward to seeing all the hosts posts pop up!

Wow reading this reminded me of my dad (with all the skills) and myself, with all the hobbies and interests including foraging and using repurposed materials. I'm always advocatingn for reusing old items or salvaging them from the garbage. I have many projects which I talk about being made from things like pots made out of tire or containers. Have you ever foraged for the delicious morel mushrooms?

I most certainly have and am anxiously awaiting the upcoming season.

I may even take a few trips South, where the season begins a bit earlier.

I wish we didn't have such harsh winters here

fantastic post! I love how you have adapted to the lifestyle you now love! Here I am at 29 years old, first baby on the way and cannot for the life of me get my own home... We have no way here in the UK of living the lifestyle you lead... The skills you have will always be useful to yourself and the people around you :)

I read somewhere a while back that in the U.K. they have an area where they are giving away land if you develop it to be Carbon Neutral. I'll try to find it for you.

Thank you for the kind words, my friend.

certainly not, i work in architecture so up to date on planning laws etc, the cost alone of making your home carbon neutral was quickly abolished as a standard due to cost of building...

so glad you're back 'home' @praada ;) @tipu send tip

Hi @praada! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dreemsteem!

I just need a spot to pitch my tent.

Why would you leave Tom and Jean, just for adventure? It seems like they still need you.

I believe he leaves for a bit and then returns ;) but i'll let @notconvinced speak for himself hehehehe
@tipu send tip to pirate mineopoly please!!! :)

Hi @mineopoly! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @dreemsteem!

My offer of two week working vacations definitely depends on Tom's health. He is very capable of taking care of their necessities and prefers to do so.

I was originally going to travel for the full summer, but my concern for them and Tom's recent surgery changed those plans.

I am assuming Tom will heal from his surgery as the Doctor predicts. If not, my plans will change. As of right now, my plan's to attend a Cobb Workshop in Florida has been put on hold until further notice.

If I can attend, I will. As for my offer here, I plan on honoring my offer, but dates and times are very flexible. There are no #kin-shep posts currently that are a fit for me anyway.

It is better to put my intentions out there now, considering @s-h-e-p is much too new for there to be many choices.

I also must lead by example and what better way than to be the first posting to the #shep-heard tag. This way there is an example for others to follow.

My adventure also consists of helping others, so I am hardly being selfish, my friend.

Thank you brother. "I see said the blind man to his deaf son." In this case I sincerely hope the best for you. You have a cool plan and I respect you.

@mineopoly

An interesting read. I tend to be a Prepper at heart with a desire for less reliance away from my city's expensive, fragile and wasteful infrastructure. Acquiring useful skills that are practical in a Grid Down Situation, efficient use of resources, simplifying life down to its most important relationships, rejecting materialism, environmentally friendly energy alternatives, etc.
In the Pacific Northwest we are far overdue to a high magnitude earthquake or a major global economic reset are examples I prepare for.

You are of the right mind, my friend. We definitely are on the same wavelength.

Excellent (piratespeak aside hehe) I love engaging comments like this!!! Nice to see that you two have such similar interests!!! I'm glad that I could have a small role in bringing you together! hehehe @tipu send tip

Protip: you can withdraw your @tipu deposit at any moment without any fees.

You, sir, are an inspiration. And sounds like you are on an adventure everyday. The way you help Tom and Jean so selflessly. You and people like you are the gems in this world. When all is so grim, you definitely shine bright. Thank you for sharing, I'm looking forward to seeing your adventure unfold. Best of luck to you!!

@tipu send tip to the sweet and spicy @monchhichi23 hehehe I'm so glad you're enjoying his adventure as much as I am too!!! I think this project is going to have the ability to touch lots of lives!!! :)

Thank you sooo much my friend. I will definitely be sharing my experiences.

I loved getting to hear more about your own personal journey that led you to start s-h-e-p with @coyoteom :) It's always neat to see the paths that lead people to create initiatives like this. I keep thinking how cool it's going to be to look back on this in a year and remember how it started! :) Thanks for letting me be a part of it :)

Letting you? @s-h-e-p is all about inclusion😀
Thanks for being you and showing others how be humble.

Thanks for INVITING me to be a part of it... heheheh that's better :)

Nietzsche...think another of my friends almost named a stray cat that is now her office cat that... @princessmewmew maybe? Maybe that was the name...but it is familiar and fresh to me.

How do we get in touch with you for projects? Are you on Discord? Pease let me know.

I am on Discord, but the best way is through @s-h-e-p, especially by creating an @kin-shep post. This post here explains how to do that and tag your blog with #kin-shep, but don't use the hash tag...my Discord ID is @NotConvinced#6242

Hey dude!! Just sent you a message on discord, and it told me we ain't friends anymore, so it didn't deliver it to you. befriend me back!! :D I hope you are doing well!
