  Descrição

  Hello, I'm Annie or Настя
  
  We are a young family with four kids under 10, trying hard to transition into self sufficiency. We live off grid, on a bush block. It is a 15 minutes drive to town. A bus can be caught 2.4km away. Coonabarabran is Australia's astronomy capital. The observatory here allows space and planet enthusiasts to explore their interests.
  
  My kids are homeschooled, don't eat or watch junk, not allowed tech devices, run and play with each other, help garden and clean up, my 5 year old chops wood, my 8 year sews and weaves - and they love the lifestyle. If we watch a film, we discuss the subliminal messages.
  I spent summers in Russia on dacha plots, where people grew their own food and knew their neighbors. My partner delved into alternate research 17 years ago, and has saved me.
  His knowledge in permaculture and water harvesting is extraordinary. He has build our place from scratch, on minimal $
  Now we are about to be in a very busy time where we move our whole place to another property.
  Where we are now is shared land with others.
  I could use help with animal care, child management, cleaning, cooking, homeschooling or whatever it may be. I know how to preserve food in jars, make sour dough, kombucha, sour kraut, milk kefir, butcher a chicken, milk a goat, start a fire etc. I don't wear makeup, we cut our own hair. We could learn together how to make our own face and body cream. When the family is sick, we use herbs.
  If you are a bloke, you could learn mechanics, how to make your own black diesel, what it takes to build a house, how to make compost, raise plants and trees, have a try of our traditional tools for woodwork or scything.
  We feel the greatest thing we have to offer, and only if there is an interest (we would not force anything) is how to think like an individual and break away from "group think" - what is this reality and who is in control of it? What does it mean to be a "subject of the crown"?
  As people, we are not "fake" friendly. We are just us, a bit austere and very honest.
  The accommodation is primal and for those who like to camp. As long as there is warm bedding, it is doable - see camp trailer in photos, that you would be welcome to use. Inside is a very comfortable high quality double mattress, storage space and floor space. Because it is camping, we would not expect as many hours as someone with a house would.
  Our family shower is available for quick washes.
  We can provide you with your own camp stove and/or fire for cooking.
  The youtube video below is from some years ago. We are no longer on this land, but Adon is the man here.
  Yes he smokes, but not the pre rolled tobacco with toxins added.
  
  The profile below is of me, and some of my convictions.
