Hey everyone, I use to post on here several years ago but have been off the radar so thought I'd re-introduce myself.
I've always felt sorta stuck between two worlds. A few years ago, I was hitch hiking around and working on organic farms. I was really sick of society and basically wanted to live in the woods somewhere with some other rad people and build some sort of tribe. I strayed away from that because I just couldn't make it happen and it was isolating me and I wasn't doing the best mentally.
I've worked some different jobs now, had my own place, bought a car, went to trade school for carpentry. After having lived on both sides now I feel the freedom and the old ways calling me back again... I just can't fucking face the fakeness of modern living. I just don't believe in it and it's not aligned with how I believe I should live
I'm moving back to Ottawa again soon in an intentional community with some rad people. I've got a gig set up as a carpenters apprentice so I'm gonna do that and focus on getting some building skills. I wanna do the whole travelling thing again, but at the same time I don't want to be straight out homeless because that stresses me out. I've got good connections with the organic farms around Ottawa so I'm hoping to find a farmer who would let me put up a tiny house of their land. From there just focus on living life, travelling, hobbies, relationship and cool stuff.
Eventually I'd like to Branch out into sustainable building. I feel the houses we live in today are just plain stupid, depressing, unhealthy places to live in. Shelter is a primary human need that everyone should have access too.
My vision is small (but not tiny) homes that are affordable, super energy efficient, use minimal concrete and just natural resources like timbers, earth, stone, strawbales, natural plasters etc. These houses would be built around community with shared cooking and chilling areas and built around nature/food production/local craftsmanship etc.
Excited to see what the future holds and looking forward to getting some inspiration and connecting with you folks.
