Wilderness Living- An Open Invitation

Attention, I have a 12' x 16' log cabin, in the mountains of Montana (just north of Yellowstone Park) that has a wood stove, cot, propane stove, well, and no electricity available for people looking for a long-term "wilderness experience". I am willing to trade FREE ROOM and BOARD (all the elk and deer you stand to eat) for just 8 hours of manual labor a day.

The work is very simple, just feeding and watering sled dogs, general dog yard maintence (fixing fences, picking up poop, buildling dog houses etc..) cutting and splitting firewood, butchering wild game, killing weeds and other landscaping projects. You will be taught how to handle chainsaw,axe, maul, ATV, snow machine, dog-team, canoe & raft, firearms, and how to cut and wrap meat. This a great experience for people looking to learn alot about wilderness travel and living. A 6 month commitment is required. Please PM me if your interested.

Jason, what'll I get for, say, 20 minutes of watering the dogs? :innocent:

Holy cow if I wasn't married I'd jump on that. Sounds like a great deal with tons of free training.

It is a great deal! But, its amazing how difficult it is to find people to take me up on it.

If I was still married, I'd jump on that. :innocent:

Jason - that's a pretty cool offer. I'd be curious to know if you get any takers based on the number of people that come here looking for exactly that. I suppose this is one way to find out if they're serious. Of course it would be nice for you to have an "ranch hand" around the place too.

I would sure like to learn proper game meat care and dog sledding. I can do the rest well not the canoe and rafting. Would be a nice change of pace to live like that for a 6 month stint. Man I wish I was single.

LOL well yeah there is that view too. :) If I was still married to my ex i would be there too. :clap:

Jason with your permission could I post this on a few of the other forums I belong to. Might get a few takers...who knows. I know talk of other forums is forbidden. :)

I can get a double bed, or a second cot. A married couple could easily share the cabin.

Yeah ok no problem. We'll see what happens.

Jason - if you get any takers I'd love to see a kind of journal from both you and your guest to document the experience. It would surely make for some great reading. Probably be real educational for others as well.

I have already had a few PM's and actually, they're even educational. I think a journal or blog would be really cool! Good idea

Jason, list yourself with www.wwoof.org
It started out with organic farms but these days all kinds of homestead get listings in there. I know several people who are listed as "hosts" and nobody of them had any bad experiences. I've wwoofed myself and it's one of the best ways to pick up all kinds of skills. You will get people, guaranteed.
