I've got a profile here somewhere but I figure it's time to update it:) I've moved just outside of Nashville, so I'm hoping there might be a good homesteading fella close by:) I have profile up on POF, so forgive me, but I'm gonna copy and paste what I have there:)

Fun loving single mom looking for a guy to date and get to know, and possibly move onto something a little more serious.

I'm an avid photographer and take great joy in photographing my kids and the world around me. I would love to see my passion turn into a living and am working on making that possible. I'm a huge movie buff/fan. I really enjoy a good action flick and a good ole fashion monster horror movie. I really don't care for chick flicks or slasher films. As for music, I've been listening to a lot of top 40 stuff lately and find I really like the indie stuff that's coming out like The Lumineers, Fun, etc. My absolute favorite music is classic rock...think AC/DC, ZZ Top etc. I have a few favorite TV shows: The Walking Dead, Supernatural, Justified, Game of Thrones, Bones and Sons of Anarchy. Kind of a weird mix, I know LOL As you can probably guess my favorite authors run to Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Joe Hill, Tabitha King, Lisa Gardener etc. although I'm always willing to read anything that sounds interesting...and no, 50 Shades of Grey never made my reading list.

I'm a pretty easygoing person. I'm honest and I cannot stand games or liars and I have no tolerance for bullsh*tor drama. I am loyal to my friends and family. I am extremely close to my children and am a very hands on mom.

I like to dress up from time to time, but am more comfortable in jeans and a tshirt. I like to get outside and work in the garden and even mow the yard:) I'm smart, funny and not afraid of getting dirty. I like to fish (I can bait my own hook and even clean and cook what I catch, although I'd rather someone else did the cleaning lol) and shoot. It's been a long time since I've been huntin' but I enjoyed it when I did go. I don't mind camping as long as there's a moderate level of comfort lol I like to cook and I like to take care of those I love and care for. I'm frugal by nature and necessity and absolutely loathe the mall and unnecessary shopping. I've got a strong DIY streak and love a good challenge:) I cuss too much when I'm mad, have tattoos and hate to cry in public. I support our troops and distrust our current government and long to be way back in the country, far away from the rat race.


And I'll add a nice picture from today. Take with my kids out on Natchez Trace Parkway at Fall Hollow:

Many of you know me already, I've been on this site for many years, just was not single.
I'm a 45 yr old woman with the heart of a homesteader, but I am no longer at the farm.
Enjoying life now, and living on the edge of a town for the first time. Has taken some getting used to, not having a garden and animals, but I do have some containers on my porch, and a great Farmers Market close by. :)
Just dropped by to say hello and to see some friends.

First and foremost, I practice my christian faith and I am hoping to meet someone that puts God first in their life. I want a man that has his heart on God. I am not a fanatic but just truly love the Lord with all my heart. I can not imagine a day without Him in my life and I am looking for someone that is the same.

I am looking for a permanent relationship that leads to marriage. I am honest, almost to a fault and I try to be kind to everyone I meet.

I'm easy going and like to enjoy my life. I love outdoor activities, pets, family, gardening, cooking, reading, and doing things spontaneously. I have many interests. I am a girlie tomboy...lol. Yes I can bait my own hook...well most of the time...lol. I love being a woman but I am not afraid to do things that I like or want to do. I am assertive and self-assured. I don't need to be rescued. I am a life long learner and love to explore new things.

I want a man that will be my friend first. I am old fashioned and I'm looking for a man that is the same. I expect that he enjoys some of the things that I do.

I will be totally content living in a rural setting. I have done that many times in the past. I have many skills and I am a good helpmate. So, I am saying that I am open to relocating but it would be a process for me to do so. I just moved and still getting settled but I had enough time in between to plant my garden. I will post pictures soon.

Smoker: No
Preferred body type: Not Stated

I am looking for a christian, a bit old fashioned, gentleman. I want someone that will be my friend and complement. Though I have a degree it is not a priority with me in a mate since I know that learning doesn't just happen at school. What is important is that there is a connection and we enjoy each others company. I hope that we will have some interest in common but I'm not expecting someone to help me with my sewing or crocheting...lol.

Oh let me mention honesty and straightforwardness are qualities that I admire

Hi everyone. I'm stacey 38 SWF brown hair and eyes, bbw, living in the northern shenandoah river.valley of Virginia, an hour west of Wash DC. Single never married mother to 1. Wish I could live a more sustunable life. I grow a small garden and orchard, love to fish, I hunt with a redtailed hawk , more spiritual than religious(the woods is my church) Ihave 3 dogs, 5 cats, rabbit, parrot, loft of pigeons, and a hawk. I'm a wildlife rehabber and falconer. Just living the simple life and wishing for someone to share it with.

Hi, Im Fowler your local neighborhood poo fairy, I am mischievious and sweet. Like sweet and sour candy....I'm looking to pester and annoy people till someone yells uncle.

My favorite past times are Jello wrestling, poo flinging, sheep wrangling and playing music with all my rowdy We WEEE WEEEEEE pig friends. Oh.....Im 74 going on 12.

38y.o divorced female, mother of 1 21 year old who lives on her own. Currently living in Dallas, TX working my behind off literally and figuratively. I've recently re-singled myself. For the sole benefit for those that are nosey and like to pay attention to these things and also so it's there and not a surprise later, I have been having poly relationships which I have most recently ended all of them for particularly personal reasons. It is my intention to go forward in life either alone or with one man with whom I can have a devoted relationship with for, presumably, the rest of our lives.

Some things that are important to me to find: the shareing of or at least TRUE acceptance of my spirituality, political views (or lack of) and my tolerant nature. I.E. if you are a homophobe, racist or like to thump people with Bibles, we would not be a good match at all. If you are a man who is intimidated by women who are professionals and may make a larger income then also please keep on a truckin.

A little insight into the combination I am: I can shoot, dress, butcher, cook and preserve venison, same with geese, pheasant and whatever else needs to be done as well as garden just about anywhere. I can also stand in the front of a mahogany board room full of oilmen in suits with cougnac and cigars and tell them they need to spend $100,000 on technology. One of these scenarios I enjoy doing much more than the other. And it has nothing to do with stuffy boardrooms ;)

Having grown up in the woods in a small village but yet having traveled to many other countries as well as all but two of these United States, I've done a lot, seen a lot and know what I want and am capable of...just looking for that king of mine almost no matter where he is, although I have moved south because I would like to stay out of the areas that get 4+ feet of snow at a time, however, I wouldn't completely rule any place out out of hand.

I prefer a more "traditional" man/woman relationship than our current society ususally portrays, this is better left to private discussion rather than on a forum, I have found so I will leave it at that.

Just another kid with big dreams and a little bank account
 

Hi all, I'm David, 23 y.o. male. Been reading HT off and on for a few years now, finally came into singletree recently and realized this is where all the fun is at.

I grew up in the suburbs, but my parents' 1.3ac backed up to a totally undeveloped greenbelt. Being free in the woods... just can't get it out of my veins. Always more at peace alone in the trees.

Currently in the Seattle metro area, developing software and stashing away $ to put down on a property. I like the mild PNW climate, but the cost of land, taxes, and level of government/regulation here on the left coast will probably encourage me back KY/MO/TN ways in a couple more years. Been down there visiting, seen it's beautiful country (all that stone...) and there seem to be a lot of folks on here from around there, always a good sign.

My dream home is a small, earth-sheltered stone house, built by me from mostly local stone and timber (sourced on the property, if feasible), with a main garden/orchard/work/play area of ~1ac fenced/walled in surrounded by all buildings. The remainder of the property will be 40+ acres of woods, for fuel, lumber, and possibly minor income, but mainly privacy. Yes, I know that will be a lot of hard work, but having done a fair bit of digging, constructing and remodeling around here I know it's in my ability and drive.

Dated a few girls/women/:censored: in the last few years, but people in my age group, and here in the 'burbs in general seem to be on a totally different wavelength. Not good experiences, not looking to do it again except maybe with a woman who 'gets it'. Would rather do it on my own than compromise the dreams that keep me getting up and doing it all over again in the rat race (for now).

Don't consider myself religious, but I do try to actually live my life in line with my understanding of the principles/values in the Bible. If there is anyone I'm actively looking for, it's those who live out their beliefs, but are also a little too independent for any kind of organization.

Currently have a small garden, manage our apple, plum, asian pear trees, 5 blueberry bushes, tons of raspberries, and rhubard that's descended from a great-grandmother's patch and been moved/split a few times. Hope to take some when I move out. Also keep the 16x8x8 woodshed stocked for our little heating stove in the winter. Actually enjoying splitting the wood.

Couldn't find any recent outside pics of me, probably was too busy working on something to take any, but here's showing off an extravagant new toy recently:

Attachment 12299

Hello everyone. Since this is singletree and I,m single I figure this is the right place. So my location is the NE corner of Texas. Age 56, 6'1", strong and lean. I got myself 20 something acres last October and bee living here ever since. Nice little place with hills and a valley. Well came in really nice and I have it on solar power pumping to cistern at the top of one of the hills. Got in a larger garden and have excellent crop of weeds. Been getting some veggies too. Have off grid solar also. Current project is building a rammed earth house. I'm looking for a gracious lady to form a partnership with.

Well I'm travis I'm 22 years old, I live in southeast alabama. I think I will be moving to central Virginia in the near future, but who knows. I'm 6'6", 190 lbs, dirty blonde blue eyes. Never been married no kids no criminal record. In my free time I enjoy fishing, working on projects, being with friends. I work part time at a cattle auction, recycle computers, and do lots of side jobs. Not quite sure what I want to do with the rest of my life. You can find me on Facebook www.facebook.com/travis.bloodworth

I'm 39. Sexy manbeast. Sense of humor. 6'3". I own 10 acres of hardwood forest and my current home that is for sale. Will be building cabin in woods very soon. I also have a job. Lol. Live in Western tennessee. I also operate a 3000 acre hunting outfit so needless to say I'm a man of the woods. Would love to know if there really are level headed females with homesteading desires and a love of the outdoors still in existence. I've had all the "shopping,sleeping till 2pm,over dependence on modern laziness" I can take. Are there any "real" women out there anymore?

Ok finally got nerve to post in here.

I am 34, female, spent 12 years in the military. On my own place now little over a hundred acres in far West Texas. Trying to get my place set up. Have goats, chickens, few cows, couple of horses, assorted dogs and cats.

At this time my work takes me all over the world, but have a great family living in the area, we help each other out when needed. Right now I am helping at my cousins place as she is working out of country, we work for the same company.

Never been married, got close a couple of times. :bash:

Can't post any pics right now as I don't have access to them.. Will try to get some soon.

Welli looked back at my old post and discovered it is over 4 years old. So i felt like updating. I've talked to several women, some from here, had some good long conversations, but I'm back to the drawing board a far as finding a companion. I can't figure out getting a picture on here newer than on the old off but would gladly send one. Anyway here goes...


didn't expect to find what I'm looking for easily but there is nothing to lose by looking. One day I intend to live a simple farming/gardening life and get away from the fast-paced modern things as much as possible. That means doing more work by hand, being outdoors, active, building relationships, instead of spending time watching tv, playing video games, or texting all day. I want to homeschool my kids, play family games, read books and write hand letters, have meaningful and deep conversations, and go to farmer's markets and flea markets.

I am not religious, though I am usually told I have values that are somewhat traditional, and would want someone who isn't super religious, and preferrably someone who doesn't drink or smoke or at least does so minimally. It's also important to note that my dad will be on the land too when I build. He is getting older and just retired, and I intend to have him at home so I can make sure he is ok, and to take care of him when he can no longer do so himself. Also the man is an unending font of knowledge about the homesteading life as he grew up in a time when people were frugal and simple out of necessity, not because it was a hip new trend.

My goal is to take the land I have in Ky, start from the ground up, doing everything myself to build a simple life in the woods with a cabin. That means, not having some things until you can afford them, going without, making sacrifice, instead of going into debt and spending yourself broke every week. Im outside as much as possible and live/sleep outdoors during warmer weather. Im not an environmentalist, just somebody who wants to live a simpler quieter life. I am very excited about living an "off-grid" lifestyle and want to find a woman who would be equally dedicated to living this way.


I live with 4 dogs, 11 sheep and a cat. My lifestyle would be considered primitive by most but it's what I have for now. Water comes from the nearby creek, heat comes from a woodstove in the camper, and that's it. This fall I'm going to build a gassifier to produce propane for electricity and heating. I'm content with that until I can add new things. The woman I am searching for is probably hard to come by. I have to find someone who isn't afraid of real hard work and sacrifice. Doesn't want debt, values relationships, thinks family time is the most important thing there is.

I think the best way to describe what I am looking for is in the movie "Faith Like Potatos", except for the religion part of it. The way that family lived and endured together would be a wonderful experience. If anyone's interest is peaked, I'd love to start a real conversation with somebody, truly getting to know one another about the things that are important and meaningful.

Man beast?..So you"re sasquatch, just messin with ya....LOL

Well I've lived in a small town for about 30 years. I would like to live out in the boonies on my own spot of land and become a whole lot more self sufficient!

I work full time, have 1 kid left at home, am at the end of my masters degree, and am doing an internship for that.

I think I've decided that, for me, finding someone that I can laugh with and have open communication with is ideal. I like to laugh!

For hobbies I like all sorts of things like camping, drives, gardening, animals, reading, and other things.

Participant profiles, hmmm, can't remember if I ever put one up. Single male currently living in NE Oklahoma, just north of some cheap land I want to buy and turn into my off-grid paradise. Just came a step closer with my 4x4 truck. Just a good old country boy, but I have a Computer Science degree. Currently disabled, but, I am hoping I can go back to work next year, make a TON of money as a Java Developer. Lived and worked just about all over the U.S. 44 going on 45 (next month.)

This is me, so, what you see is what you get! lol

Single white male here. 5'8", 240 lbs. Never been married, no kids, smoker. Just moved back into the homeplace where I was raised, since both parents have passed, and bought out Sis's half. I have the bestest Sister in the world..!! :)

I have horses, and love to trailride, and horsecamp. Hope to get back into it next year, after several years of working on things here, to get it where it needs to be. Love to vegetable garden, and preserve what I raise. I love to do woodworking, and metal fabrication. From repairing my own farm equipment, to building what I need, to horseshoe art. I try to be as self sufficient as possible. I'm not in the boonies, in fact, just 20 minutes from the capital city, but it is a country setting.

Would love to find a woman that has similar likes & hobbies, mentally, financially stable. No children is about a must...

I realize this is not the best pic in the world, but the only one I could find real quick.

Is that tunnel the one near Telegraph Hill, northern Lawrence Co.???
B&O, if I'm not mistaken?

It is a B&O Tunnel, but known as the Moonville Tunnel. Located within the Zaleski State Forest/Lake Hope area, near Athens.

I belong to a group that has secured around 16 miles of abandoned rail bed, and made it into a muscle power only Rail Trail.

Hi Folks,

'Curs to me that it has been awhile, (if ever) and perhaps I should say hello---again. It has been almost two years since cancer took my Rory away, and I am single again, for the first time in decades. It has been an interesting voyage of self-discovery. And what have I learned? Well, firstly, the memory of real love beats a world of just physical fun. Secondly, perhaps it is lack of energy or just inertia, but into one's 60-somethings, one is less and less likely to make the effort to find someone. I've learned that camping and riding with a group of women is wonderfully cathartic, but isn't the same as someone to come home to, or who comes home to you. Dogs help, as does the cat, but......

Anyway, you get the idea. On the positive side, my Granddaughters--nearly 13 year-old twins--are utterly delightful, and my son has settled into a career in firefighting, a noble if somewhat dangerous profession. I live on a bit less that one teensie acre in what used to be a logging camp and which has grown into a neat little rural community. I can apples and pickle cukes and try to get non-gmo foods at our local co-op, keep a pantry full and heat (and bake) with wood. I also ride across the country on motorcycles, and right now my sun-room table is festooned with BMW cylinders and heads. My professional life was spent owning a printing plant (along with my Ex, for awhile) and also teaching graphic arts at our local Community College.

So, am I looking? Kinda. Do I want a life-partner? Well, yeah, I suppose. Well, assuming I want these, what would they be like? Funny, smart, tall (I'm 5'9" on a good day), not bothered by a scar on my chest (open-heart surgery after a heart attack while scuba diving....long story), he wouldn't take life, himself or anything overly seriously, but would also not think me paranoid for stocking a pantry and other "Prepper" things. He would absolutely *have* to proclaim, after sampling some fairly local 'shine, that I am indeed the very best poet since Poe....but he can be cleverly prevaricating, it's OK.

One's life in a couple of paragraphs. Scary......OK, so I'll try to attach a picture. Me, after three days of bike riding, camping and living in the woods......sans makeup, clean clothes, (got lots of helmet-hair, though), enjoying *real* vehicles at a car show we stumbled upon in western Washington (and no, it WASN'T raining!) :rock:

Here goes:

Single Adirondack Lady
 

I grew up in the Adirondacks on a 44 acre farm though by the time the baby of the family (ME) was old enough to do anything all we did was chickens and veggies and there were a lot of veggies. I moved out of here as soon as I could to VT. College, death of my Dad and marriage full of abuse. Sustainable farming and return to NY on 3/4 acre with chickens and big garden wanting more. Single and wishing for more in a relationship than bad memories and fear. Will never happen again. Enjoy gardening, keeping animals humanely, returning to wilderness eventually as time permits. Location is not as important as the person's belief.

I haven’t posted here before but here goes.

https://www.facebook.com/boywon30m

I'm new to this forum, but not to living off the land. I'm 43 and live on acreage in WA. I enjoy living in the country and all it has to offer. Someday I'd like to find the right girl to enjoy it with, but I'm content with the single life until that happens. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas and New Years and y'all stay warm back east. Our forecast today is sunshine and around 50 degrees. I plan on getting some things done outside between watching the two football games.

Anyone out there?
 

I realize that this is a long shot (I posted here a few years ago), but here goes. I am a 31 year old guy from southwest Florida who has been captivated by the dream of homesteading and self-sufficient living for more than ten years. I have arrived at a point where I believe I need to make this happen before I allow more life to pass me by. I am willing to go it alone, but it would be nice to find a kindred spirit to share the journey.

I like to consider myself a practical idealist in a Thoreauvian sense. I have built my castles in the air; now I just need to place foundations under them. By day, I work with computers as an IT guy. By night, I plan my escape from technology, or at least from 8+ hours each day in front of computers. I'd rather dig my hands into the dirt than figure out why someone's e-mail was delivered a minute late.

I am a spiritual person who is probably best described as a "progressive" Christian. Over the years, I have incorporated many eastern, Native American, and pantheistic ideas into my spirituality, which makes me a heretic, a label I wear proudly. I left fundamentalism behind long ago and have no interest in returning to it.

I am a native Floridian and have lived in Florida most of my life, but I did live in southern West Virginia for a while. I fell in love with the snow, a sentiment that most of my fellow Floridians cannot comprehend. Although I cherish Florida's wild interior, I cannot tolerate the urban mayhem of the coast. I'd rather be in a wild swamp than a crowded beach.

I own ten acres in eastern Tennessee where I plan to build a small earth-friendly dwelling. I participated in a cob building course and I love the idea of natural building, but I am open to whatever works. The Appalachians inspire me and I have hiked extensively through the region. I can't wait to put down roots there.

If any of this resonates with you, I would love to talk. Send me a private message and I will give you my e-mail address.

Hello to a fellow heretic, just wanna say keep on keepin on!

Single and looking
 

Hello!

My name is Matthew, and I'm 46 or 47 years old. I live in Daytona Florida in a little house that I really enjoy, about a ten minute walk from the beach. I have a workshop with both woodworking tools and automotive tools. I also have a backyard garden that currently has cabbages, brocolli, tomatoes (if they survive the frost) and mustard greens. In a few weeks I'm going to till up the mustard part and add carrots, and possibly radishes.

Short term hobbies are SCUBA diving, traveling, hitting farmers markets, flea markets, and pawn shops. I enjoy tent camping and purchased a car that gets exceptional fuel economy so that I can explore further. I have a full camping kit that has been tired and tested to be safe and sound - and which fits in the car nicely. See, I love to go, love it, and tent camping costs me about 100 a day including food and fuel - Yeah, I could do it cheaper, but I enjoy stopping and exploring - and have a weakness for interesting places to eat.

Long term plans are underway now. I've paid off many of my bills and gone into strategic debt to build my credit to the point that I can buy a large piece of land in the Kentucky or Oklahoma areas. I love Kentucky and really love the laws there, but Oklahoma is getting closer to being free and they have some large acreages (100+) that are in my budget.

I want to homestead and semi-off grid, with off grid capabilities in case of SHTF. The plan is land, food animals, with a small river/stream on the property. Two story farmhouse, with wrap-around porch.

About me...

I'm former military, have no criminal record, and decided to remain single about ten years ago. I rarely drink, do not do drugs, and am in decent health. I have no STD's and have three kids that are grown and out on their own and doing really well for the most part. Hey, they're young, lol.

It's time to start looking again. The last girl is in her new house, and I need to find someone to compliment me and be a companion.

I haven't been on here in quite awhile and there have been some serious changes in my life since my last post here. My off-grid homestead is now 95% self-sufficient and functionally complete. My garden is now 16,000 ft2. My goat herd was up to 29 until I culled to 9 and then lost 3 to wolves, 5 to a bear and my last one to a mountain lion. I might get a highland cow this spring and see how she does against the predators before adding more goats. My chickens are down to 6 but I'll let one of the girls brood this spring.

I have embraced polyamory and have three awesome girlfriends but my closest one lives 70 miles away and I see her just four days a week. I've also embraced my kinkiness and have discovered I'm a great Dom- Think 50's style household without the religious foundation. Speaking of religion, I'm a heathen of the Discordian persuasion and I'm also an anarcho-capitalist.

You can find out a lot more about me by reading my OKC profile:

Ha Ha Ha ^^^^^this guy cracked me up!! Bless his heart....LOL!!

LOL I think he's probably on a site or two that I am on too... (not homesteading related) LMAO...seems familiar.

Thank you ladies. *tips hat* Whynot, if it's *that* site look me up: Montanarchist.

I gotta ask..do 'your' ladies get to embrace polygamy, too? Not my thing but I hope the ladies could have many husbands also.:hysterical:

The answer to that question, homefire, is in the vocabulary. I'm polyamorus not polygamous. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory

Well...I guess you learn something new everyday. Ignorance is bliss :) Don't get it, don't understand it but to each his/or her own.

Methinks Prom would dig Fowler's lil hankiejinks :D

lol : )

still getting settled in my new home...

I'm loving that cabin! Do you have more pictures?

Sure thing, I have thousands of pic's. Here's one that I took a few months ago. I have done lots of work on the place since then...

Oh heck tbats not a cabin!!! Lol!!!
