Hello... been looking for a site like this for some time... can't believe I didn't find it before, but then my Google technique probably isn't that good! This site certainly is one of the most vibrant and busiest I have seen. I'm an alternative hippy that wants to breakaway from the "overhead" associated with living with mainstream society so I can concentrate on doing the stuff I want to do. In my case, I find just existing in modern society with all of it's red tape takes up too much time and creates a certain degree of stress. I also believe - probably like many of you on here - that modern society is massivly wasteful. However, I'm a firm believer in that we can combine both modern technology as well as more traditional techniques rather than going for either extreme. My aim is to develop a commune in Wales focussing on minimal impact living. Without being specific, I've always wanted to engineer, innovate or "invent" new things - and I would love to concentrate on doing that rather than a mainstream life where everything seems to involve one complication or another. Of course, I expect there will be hurdles, surprises and dissapointments along the way - but then this is all part of the learning process!
hi and welcome ...nice train of thought you got going on there ......i try to keep away from the"norm"and confirming s much as possible but now i have 7 kids it has become that bit difficult .....trying to give them freedom of choice to become individuals in there own right but not to push my beliefs on them a tough call.......hey i lived on a commune in wales back in the 80s dont think the guys are there anymore a few of them went across the sea to australia ...sun and sand and all that...we had some of the best times.good lick with it all have fun on here oh and have a hash cookie ..just baked a fresh batch but dont tell soaring eagle hell scoff the lot lol hee hee
Hi. I'm with you. My dream has always been to be as self sufficient as possible. I'm a loner so a commune wouldn't be my thing(maybe in another life). But my husband teenage daughter and I are getting starting on making that dream a reality next summer.
hey dont be a loner you got friends on here . but if thats what you dig thats cool......im against paying all these money grabbing supermarkets and lining their pockets .it seems crazy
