Dear Mr. Corcoran,
My name is Sean Datar. I am a 23 year old from Massachusetts. I am an undergraduate computer engineering student who plans to take time off from school to pursue experience in homesteading, as I have lost significant amount of interest in engineering. I was wondering if you had any advice for someone with no prior homesteading experience, specifically where I could search for an apprenticeship.
Thanks,
Sean
Hi Sean,
(Please, just call me Travis).
My two pieces of advice to look for such a thing are (a) join homesteading discussion groups, on Facebook, in Discords, etc., and express your interest. There are tons of these communities. And (b) look at https://wwoof.net/ .
Best of luck!
Thank you very much, Travis!
Hi Travis,
Eagerly awaiting more Aristillus! Just read your commentary on Firefly/Serenity, and at one spot had to laugh—have you been to The Domes?!
I’m a freestater and remember the early days there. The seasteaders at Linton Bay are getting ready for their big launch this month, and there are others…
Cheers,
Kevin
Hey Kevin,
Thanks!
I’m working on a YA Aristillus short story right now, which I hope to have out by the end of the year. It’s like a cross between The Mad Scientists Club and a Heinlein juvenile, in tone.
Yes, not only have I been to the Domes, but I live about three miles down the road from there.
I’ve been in NH for going on nine years myself.
Cheers!
