Tried looking up Danny and it just brings us back to the Deep South Homestead page

I still cannot find him

I would appreciate a support group for “Single Lady HOMESTEADERS of a Certain Age”. I love my lifestyle. I love my animals. But, sometimes the physical struggle is real. It is not easy finding someone who could pick things up and put things down for me! Although I was going to wait until my dog was a year old to start training him, I chose to put that muscle and energy to work for me around here starting this week! THIS is Wilbur! Seriously though…. Maybe in the future there could be some area where you could borrow labor from fellow homesteaders locally. Maybe some kind of local bartering page?

I use Billy’s Bone Sauce. Great addition to the homestead. UNFORTUNATELY, the Bone Sauce did nothing for my Punxsutawney Phil issue this season! The only resolution from my groundhog problem was lead. They were eradicated one by one!

My son is a professional UKC breeder of the American Bully. I told him years ago that once I found my Homestead land if he ever had a male run of the litter that was not breed standard, I would take him! Wilbur came to me with barely a taie to speak of and some pretty messed up teeth! I refuse to allow his ears to be docked. Although I have champion bloodline papers on him, he will never make it on that circuit! I named him after the story of Charlotte’s Web…. The runt of the litter, Wilbur!

Thank God I am not the only one! This party of one situation can definitely pigeonhole you! I’m placing a lot of faith in the growth of this new community. It would be nice to reach out to someone who could occasionally help pick things up and put things down!

What is your secret? I tried general search, I tried search in the member section… Yada yada yada. We’re supposed to be looking up Danny King right?

Thank you for your kind reply! We’ve got this! (Right?) 😅

Oh my goodness! Daisy and Wilbur could be related!

💯👍

Back ground checks are fine with me. I’m just trying to shed some light on what I believe is a larger population of single ladies out here trying to live the self-sufficient/homesteading lifestyle. Every so often, we could use a physical hand. Do you have any idea how hard it is for older women to find a MAG? I suppose it is similar to ageism in the workplace. I am helpless by no means. I’m a US military veteran who still maintains her record as a sharpshooter. I farm my own land and raise my own flocks. I can build things and I can fix things. It is sometimes easy to get discouraged. No one wants to be a lone wolf necessarily. But in my experience, there is a certain population of preppers and homesteaders (like myself) who seem to be pigeonholed into that exact position. Anyway, I would love to be able to barter locally whether it’s eggs/produce, freedom seeds or silver and gold. I believe in community. With everything that’s about to go down, there is nothing more important than the ability to buy sell and trade within groups of like-minded people such as this. It is how we will all survive. (Apologize if I came off as ranting)

I am right there with you! It would be nice to receive an Alive and Well check every now and again from someone local! LOL

Hey there! I’m just south of you in Hertford county North Carolina. Had occasion to visit Chesterfield several times this year as my son was showing dogs in the UKC dog shows held in your area! I am so looking forward to hearing from and seeing people on here locally!
