    Description

    Hey folks! I'm accepting short term stays this year....from a couple of days to a few weeks.


    Come live in the woods for a while! See life through the eyes of a mountain man banging on his drum.🙂

    chill environment.
    420 friendly.
    exchange of skills and knowledge is what drives me to do this most. Combat training, massage, healing, woodworking, farming, prepping, and survival are a few of the skills I am open to sharing exchanging.

    I prefer a video chat before actually meeting so everyone is comfortable.

    2025 March I begin my spring clean up, maple syrup, seeding, some renos, garden prep, a wood fired sauna build and a thermal mass rocket stove in the greenhouse.

    Looking forward to introducing you to my world :)
