Do you need a place to call home?
Description
I've edited my ad to put this at the start to stop the kinds of responses I've gotten so far.
If you don't read the whole ad, that's on you.
To make sure there is zero confusion about this though... If you are a right wing racist, sexist, transphobic type person, you are not welcome here. This includes supporters of the trucker's seize on Ottawa, anti-vaxxers, flat earthers and other associated idiots.
For anyone else who isn't any of those things, read on.
Are you, or do you know someone who is, homeless?
Would you like to live an off-grid, nature oriented lifestyle?
We were homeless and living on the streets of Kitchener in a cargo van. We understand better than most that things happen and sometimes people just need a chance to catch their breath in order to find a way forward.
We have some land now and would like to do two things.
-The first is help others who need it
-The second is to gather people around us that we can trust, who want to simply live life more naturally without imposing on each other.
Could you get to Northern Ontario, Canada and live a very rustic lifestyle?
Do you have access to a camper, van,rv or trailer you could live in without power or water/waste grid hookups? A wood stove is a necessity.
-Could you cut and split your own firewood?
-Haul water from town (or other source)
-Haul your wastes away to a nearby registered lagoon?
-Grow a garden?
-Raise animals in a respectful manner and still help butcher them?
-Could you set up a solar/wind power system with batteries for storage?
-Most importantly about those things, could you learn to do them if someone showed you how?
If you are interested, send us a message.
Include the following;
-Number, first name and at least an approximate age of those you wish to come with you.
-How you would get to the Timmins or Cochrane, Ontario area.
-How long you would like to stay.
-What types of work are you willing/able to do? Both in terms of the things mentioned earlier, plus general labour, retail, driving etc? There are jobs available in the area.
Although you don't need to include such in your first reply, be aware we will want photos of you (Head shot and full body/face shot, FULLY CLOTHED) and a short video with you saying "Hi, I'm (name), I think I can live like that and would like to come", before we actually invite you.
Don't have a camper etc to live in?
We currently have one trailer available for someone who needs it. It's crappy, but liveable.
Starting in April, we may accept a few people in tents but nobody can stay past November in a tent here.
Rent will be either cash or work, with no receipts for either. If you don't have money and can't get a job in the area, lots of work needs to be done around here in exchange. Sex will never be asked for, (or accepted) in exchange for rent.
Are you non-predatory/non-abusive? Do you try to help others when you can?
First and foremost, this is a safe place for anyone we invite to be here. Anyone making it unsafe for others, will be told to leave.
No racists, sexists, transphobes or the like, need respond.
Drinking and mild drug use is fine. Habitual or addicted users of 'hard' drugs, including alcoholics are discouraged, both because it makes others unsafe and because there is no way to get what you need out here.
No kids. This isn't because we don't like kids, it's to avoid any issues concerning child welfare as there is no access to a schoolbus and well-meaning people in the area might be inclined to concern themselves with their welfare.
