51M in SW Montana Looking for a Friend that could Become More

The  folks at the homesteading Reddit steered me here and I just wrote this up for my profile. It's a fair snapshot of me- though I can't seem to get any actual snapshots loaded. I did list my Instagram on my profile here for those wanting to see a face behind the words.

I founded my off-grid self-sufficient Montana Homestead in 2005 on neglected timberland and mining claims at 5800'. I was the first to live in this valley since the miners in the 1880's.

I've been paid to fight wildfires, write articles, and cook at four star restaurants. Now I sell firewood and produce I've grown to pay my taxes and cell phone which are my only expenses.

I built my home myself with logs and rocks from my property, it's four stories, in-the-round piece-en-piece timber frame. The south side has an attached 37 X 13" greenhouse and the third floor is a 13" X 20' sunroom in which I grow veggies and flowers year round.

I have active and passive solar heating with two Fisher woodstoves supplying the rest. I have PV solar, two wind turbines, and micro hydro.

I have a handful of chickens now but I have also had dairy and meat goats, ducks, and geese in the past. I've made my own butter and cheese.

My garden is 80" X 300' and I grow strawberries, peas, rhubarb, raspberries, gooseberries, Egyptian onions, green onions, garlic, chives, horseradish, sunchokes, lovage, day lilies, asparagus, mint, hops, potatoes, kale, and others.

My next project is a little finca in the mountains of Puerto Rico where I grow oranges, bananas, coffee, papaya, passion fruit, breadfruit, orchids and others.

I've been a libertarian/An-cap activist for more than two decades and was an early member of The Free State Project before opting out after the vote went to NH.

I've been a New England Transcendentalist (like Thoreau) for more than thirty years but play with Eris and Discordianism.

I've been active in the Kink community for over a decade. I've gone to Dark Odyssey and Kinkfest several times. Ask for my Fet username if you want to know more

I've followed the Burning Man community since '92 and have ran a kink camp at the big Burn and regionals.

I started shooting competitively at 12 and have harvested most North American large game animals.

Hi
What is a kink camp?😂
Everything else you do sounds cool though…
Not sure if I’ve fully signed up for this site. Or if there’s a place to post pictures.

The camp was like most Burning Man camps: a huge tent with a bar, chill spots, music, and lights but it also had a hard point for doing shibari suspensions, multiple St Andrew crosses, a spanking bench, school desks, and there were kennels under the bar top.
