Description
I'm living an off the grid life in the middle of the forest, in a remote beautiful location close to the redwood forest in Northern California, surrounded with rivers and wild life.
I would like to share my off grid way of life with people interested in living this way, having a simple life. I want people that would like to give me a helping hand, love the forest and feel good in nature. This year I just got an old school bus to fix up as a Workaway bunkhouse I have some projects to do with general construction, a wood shed (always need help to bring in firewood), some permaculture gardening, clearing brush I have 40 acres so lots to keep up with other thing to do go hiking, rafting adventures, play the steal drum go to the redwoods, take a hot tub ,or sauna go to the coast or any other activity.this place is very remote its 35 mi. to nearest town. no phone service.and very limited internet
It will all depend on the season the tasks to be done but firewood is the main help I will need. I have a bad back and the help is really needed and appreciated. I also could use any bodywork
