ABOUT ME

Hi,
I own 250 acres in the remote wilderness of Shasta Trinity national forest. I am about a 2 hour drive from the coast. In the winter I get snowed in for 6 months and its about a 7 mile snowshoe. My ranch is working to be fully self-sustainable and organic, currently I have a basic shell of a strawbale house and fully working hydroelectric system producing 21Kw per day

PHILOSOPHY

zen

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am pretty busy but if you have an interest in sustainable living or alternative energy and don't mind putting in a bit of elbow grease then give me a shout. Just a heads up, my place is very remote and few people have had luck with hitchhiking, especially the last 8 miles. The last few miles is 4wd only.
