Working on an animal farm or living in the wild...

[deletemyaccount]

I have just finished my third year of college and I'm kind of burned out from studying all this nonsense that they teach you these days. I have a perfect GPA but my passion has always been hard physical labor outdoors and in the nature. I'm originally from Europe and my passion has always been health, nutrition, lifting weights, sports and fitness and so I decided to study medicine and nutrition. However, since I've started eating raw paleo foods my priorities have and outlook on life have changed tremendously and I would really love to live more of a primal kind of lifestyle.

I have all of these education benefits and money saved up because I was in the army but I don't really care about money etc. I'm very interested in working on a farm or traveling and living with some native cultures in the US, if there are any left :-) or I was thinking about starting a farm with some other raw paleo fellow members on here.

I was thinking about traveling to Alaska, Hawaii, or somewhere in the west or working on an Amish farm for the experience and for food that I can eat raw. Do you guys think that I should just call up a bunch of farms and explain my situation and set out on my journey? I really don't want to start the next semester which starts in about two weeks but since I'm receiving educational benefits from the army, I need to decide quite rapidly.

I've been thinking about this for a long time now and I kind of want to do the Aajonus kind of thing and live with natives or work on a farm for a while.

I'm currently living in North Carolina but I'd prefer to go somewhere to the west like Alaska, Wyoming or other place that abounds with true nature and wild life. I'm asking for some advice or some pointers as I'm sure many of you raw paleos have perhaps thought about embarking on a same journey in your life. If you know anyone if guys have a farm or know anyone who needs a young, hardworking and educated young European born male please let me know. Otherwise, I'll just go to eatwild.com, localharvest.com, realmilk.com and contact a bunch of farms and explain my situation. If any of you guys have though about embarking on the same adventure, let me know if you wanna join me :-) or contact me via facebook by typing in Stepan Stastny,

Thanks a lot in advance and I'm eager to hear your opinions

I recall that Yon Yonson mentioned in his "Southeast Asia" thread that he had used a website which provided details of farms around the world which offered bed-and-board to those willing to work at the farms. You might try that.


There is also Kieba's "Body Temple Boot Camp" in Hawaii,

http://www.bodytemplebootcamp.com/

which provides raw-meat diets to paying clients. Perhaps she might similiarly offer you work in return for giving you free lodgings and free raw foods?

How primitive do you want to be? I live off-grid in the Colorado Rockies and have 30 goats I need help with. I've been looking for someone who would like to live in a very primitive way, in a tipi and/or a wicki-up built out of indigenous materials. We have the land to offer, but that's all. Meaning - I don't have enough money to offer someone food as well as a place to be. So, I'd only ask for about 10 hours of help a week. Mostly mucking out and come spring milking twice a week maybe.

Our land is an hour's drive from the nearest city. Our nearest neighbor (outside the small community that lives on this land) is a mile away. We live on 160 acres, surrounded by national forest. Interested?

I just joined the forum today and was doing a bit of reading before going to the intro site, but I guess now that I'm writing this post, I'd better get over there and do an intro, lol.

Wov, in the Colorado Rockies built of indigenous materials :-) I guess that would be a shocker for me in the wintertime because I'm a big city boy. I would be interested but I'm looking for something more stable even though money isn't a concern for me at all. I have a lot more to offer, and living in the wilderness without any other human contact isn't appealing to me at all.

Ok. It's best to know up front what the lifestyle is. And you're right, city folk usually can't cut it up here. Not that there aren't people around, of course, but it is definitely a winter wilderness right now.
