Love wyoming, but cold(almost died in a snow storm north of riverton) and bit expensive.... west texas is hot, dry, but cheap.... Solar Farm and compound. Make my living off the grid instead of living OFF the grid. But happyearth, if you need some work done, or some help I would love to assist with production, digging, the dirty work.

I would look into building a house under ground, keep cool during the summer, and warm in winter. Not sure of the permits and codes and shit tho, good Idea to try to find land(if available) that are just out side of city code.

Sorry for the lack of punctuation. I can only guess when I am using it correctly. For some reason its usage never stuck. I know some of the obvious ones but I don't know how to write correctly. And then didn't need it when I was travelling and working heck I didnt use a computer or own one till 2006 which is when I started having to communicate via text shoot before that the only writing I ever did was on applications for stuff

i have viewed some of the things posted from you earlier in the year happy earth, i might be able to help out, cant guarantee anything, but it would have to wait until after this year is over with because i will be selling christmas trees down here to make some money to get the hell out of florida, i hate this state, i always have, but i came back down to visit with family, ive done that, and im ready to get the hell out, ive lived on the streets for years now, i got my problems, every one does, im glad to hear your 420 friendly, by the way, wyoming you say? im unfamiliar with the terrain up there, when i was a youth i grew tomatoes, black eyes, pintos, jalapenos, and okra on my grandfathers lot in texas, im 26 this year, just turned on this past month, so im still a youth, i was wondering if youd be interested in having me along maybe next year during the summer, my plans after this year is over with is to head out west first, sit down play guitar a bit, in some cities out on that coast, with a couple of street kids, my lifestyle is quite migrant, ive picked tomatoes be4 down here in florida, and i cant keep up with the spanish folk, but i certainly will get out there, nonetheless, i dont have all the details about your earthen home, ill look it up sometime, but i am not alotted alot of time on pcs, and i play guitar, i have a bad habit of listening to music way too much then a person should, hmm . . . i also have to warn you, i believe i aint too bad a person, but i have been diagnosed bi-polar, manic depressant in the past, but i dont believe in taking medicine and the crap that the docs try to get you hooked on, just so you can become a 'normal' part of society again, i like my lifestyle, if i do come up and chill with yall foir a bit, i am certain 99% i wont be staying up there for the rest of my life, so dont try to convince to stay on your lot afterwards, which i feel certain you prolly wont, and i hope what i just said doesnt give you the wrong impression of me, i have trust issues too, ive been screwed over ALOT in my life, so i do have to admit i have some anger issues, i just recently was talking to one person on this site, but when your talking on these pcs, your not directly interacting with the person on the other end, so to speak, so the person on the other end, who the f#%$ knows who that is, know what i mean? but any how, ive spoken quite a bit of gibberish, sry take car of yourself, and if you could id like to hear more about this sort of project you got going on, maybe i could help out a lil, maybe not, uncertain as of yet, forgive me

I am interested in owning and truly improving land, and with the massive ongoing correction in real estate prices it just might become a reality in the coming years. Homesteading looks more and more attractive as people everywhere are re-learning how to feed and shelter themselves and sharing the techniques and methods, as one big decentralized tribe. I believe that we can take all this spoiled land in ruined cities and begin to restore it.
