    Default Looking for people interested in homesteading in the Yukon

    Hi,

    My name's Sam Halpern and I work for documentary/factual television production company looking for people who are interested in moving out of the city to homestead in the Yukon. Please respond to this post or message me privately if you are interested in doing this, are in the process of doing this, or know others that are planning on doing this.

    Thank you!

    Sam Halpern

    What "documentary/factual television production company," and where are you located? What other documentaries has your company produced and on what teevee channels were they aired??

    Just wondering.

    Good luck. Hope you find some talent from our members. I think what Seniorman was getting at - the more you can share about your production company, the more people may be inclined to contact with an interest in participating.

    We used to vacation in southern Yukon back in the '90's. Beautiful place- especially around Kluane lake. Lots of mosquitoes. You need to camp where its windy, which is not a problem.

    I'd be interested. it's gotta be better than what I do now, working at a restaurant/gas station and barely making ends meet. Seriously I don't understand how anyone can even think of college when rent+food+fuel leaves you with dust in the pockets and near depression.

    My forum name isn't really short of truth as I'm not deeply experienced in alot of things, but I'm not shy of trying and learning. I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty with hard work and cold doesn't bother me too much, having lived in missouri 30 years(I realize yukon's double north than missouri). I don't have spouse or children, I live in Fl with my mother who has family down here she could stay with if need be.
    Details would be appreciated, I like the sound of the opportunity.

    I wish someone would do a programme of this sort over here, but then I suppose setting up a smallholding in the wilds of Wiltshire doesn't have the same appeal or possibility for danger or failure. However I would watch it, or even show interest.

    So if an interested person decided to move from the city to the Yukon, who pays for it? I would think that anybody that is really interested in dong this, would want to know what kind of financial benefit would be gained from the move. I would dare guess that most people that would really want to do that, would probably not be able to afford to move out of their own pockets.
    Most people that make a good salary would never move to begin with, which would leave the lower income groups for your possibilites!

    Not exactly, I personally want to do this and can do so financially. However it will mean giving up my well paying career and multiple life changes. That being said a move like this has been in the works for the last 5 Years and is becoming closer to happening then ever before.

    It's been my dream to eventually live on a homestead and have been looking into Yukon for a while now. I'm interested.
