Howdy!
I'm not in Alaska, actually I'm not anywhere near Alaska either. (Kinda feels like Alaska this morning though with temps in the single digits!)
I'm actually on the other side of the US in North Carolina. Just wanted to come on over here and into myself cause I enjoy talking to folks who have the same type of mind set- self suffcient living and/or homesteading.
I don't currently 'homestead' myself. I like nature, but living off the grid isn't something I would be very good at. I like to use my hair dryer! At any rate, my goal is to become more self-suffcient all around. I hope to begin my own garden this year that will yield enough to share with others as well as plant a small fruit and nut grove. I raise chickens and ducks for eggs and hopefully *one day* I will learn how to butcher for meat(as soon as I stop making pets out of them). I am in the process of looking for a nice dairy goat or two(hopefully a preggo doe)as well as getting ready for the new chicks that will be arriving in the next month. I also plan to being researching solar and wind energy.
My livelihood comes from a small craft business I run. I enjoy it and it has proved to be a gratifying and profitable venture thus far.
So I will cease to ramble and just say HI again. Hope to get to know you folks and maybe glean a little info here and there!
