I'm not new to preparedness or self sufficiency. I am new to doing it as a group member rather than a sole provider.2016 I left a life of comfort on 1/4 acre permaculture setup (25 fruit trees + vines and berry bushes) in Portland OR to live completely off the grid in the jungle of Hawaii, Puna district. Long story short I turned 3 acres into a food forest while building a container home 3 cans in a U shape, literally bullet proof. 21 solar panels with deep battery bank, 5K gallon water catchment from my 2000 + sqft metal roof. State of the art water filtration with UV and final step Berkey filter. My orchards were starting to set fruit when we decided to head back to the Pac NW to start over. Life was hard on my two young kids and wife being away from family. What was the point of being self sufficient and not sharing it with family/friends who didn't see the whirled as we did. Flash forward, I'm on 1/3 acre now planting it out as fast as I can. I have 21 chickens, ducks, rain catchment and a few like minded neighbors who are starting to see what I saw when I felt pushed to Hawaii.. Been watching Bear for a few months and trying to teach others to do the things. Looking to hookup with 3%s-other like minded in the area,.. Any leads for Yamhill county prepared patriots?
