I’ve done quite a few worktrades around the country and a little in Europe. I’ve had good and bad hosts so I know what you Traveler’s go through! I will strive to be a warm and welcoming host. I have 2 bicycles that you can use and I will invite you to all my recreational activities/ parties I go to!

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    You will meet other offgridders and trail workers. As a result you will learn a lot about camping, backpacking, foraging, herbalism etc.. I encourage creativity and will help you with any project of your own as well.

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    I’m trying to make my land as self sufficient as possible. I have extensive trail work knowledge which perfectly translates over to an off grid lifestyle. I have a lot of experience with the following (and need help!):

    -Cutting trees large and small with chainsaw or axe
    -Bucking trees and splitting firewood
    -Earth and tread work including building rock staircases, drainage structures and retaining walls. By hand
    -I built my own small house! I need help finishing it. This includes siding, insulating and interior finish work.

    A lot of work will also involve building small structures with the native timber (pavilion, shed, wood storage, open to more ideas!). Me and my buddies bought a bandsaw mill together so we will be milling some lumber as well.

    I also have a few creative projects and ideas going on. I will be making a sort of stained glass window for my house, a pizza oven, a small wood heated hot tub and other crafts such as candle making.

    I have a garden and plan to expand it every year until it is sufficient to feed me all year.

  • Acomodação

    Acomodação

    Located in Bethel, Maine! Good cell reception if you have Verizon or a carrier that uses their towers. I have a laptop too if you need to borrow it (I can set up a hotspot).

    Camping/ limited solar electricity (enough to charge your phone). Just got a well drilled so will have plenty of clean water .

    No shower yet but will plumb out a spigot and set up and propane heated outdoor shower as soon as possible.

    No toilets. However, I have a bin composting system worked out that is, in my opinion, nicer than an outhouse. You need to be tough. Lots of bugs during the summer including ticks.

    I have a few spots to pitch a tent. If you don’t own a tent I have one and can get more. Van lifers are encouraged. I have many places to park.

    I enjoy community meals. But it is not necessary if you aren’t into it. I will supply a lot of bulk items but if you want something of your own (fruit or perishable) then there is a grocery store a few miles away. I can give you rides.

    If there is anything thing you think my property needs don’t be shy and let me know. We can work together to get the item affordably (or make it!). I will pay for it of course.

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    Smack in the middle of the White Mountain National Forest on the western edge of Maine. There are many hiking opportunities and I also plan on helping the people hiking the Appalachian trail (host bbqs for them/free rides/hopefully parties).

    Plenty of places to swim (think waterfalls/cliff jumping). Secret spots and public.

    I have a few friends that rock climb and mountain bike if you are into that. I can’t with my shoulder but will happily link you with them. There are biking trails a mile from my house and I have an old bike you can use as well.

    There are multiple rivers and lakes in the area and I own two old plastic canoes that can be taken on rocky water! If you wanted we can take a trip!

    I plan on going gem hunting and searching old abandoned places as well. Lots of adventures.
