got plott,

Seems to me you are getting ready to do what most of us have dreamed about. Bet you end up with some top notch dogs to boot. Wish you well and if you can, and care to, keep us up to date on your activities and adventures.
Here's to your adventure!

Awesome, good for you. I did the same thing for years when finishing high school and starting college, lived out of my Jeep and hunted with the dogs, ran a trapline, also worked part time on the weekends. Pretty easy to be self-sufficient with just the necessities of life. I miss the simple life all the time, although it's still pretty darn good here.

I think that is great.. I'm on the other end.. I have my family raised and have a fairly successful business.. sold my farm and like you live out of a camper trailer. I have been working on training my son in law to run the business although it really doesn't take that much of my time now. My place is way out in the middle of nowhere my customers don't walk through the front door so as long as I can have an internet connection I can run it most of the time.... but would like to not have to think about it as much.. when you have your own business it's with you all the time ..
I'm sure many envy you... and for your youth myself included :oops:

“If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

“Do not lose hold of your dreams or asprirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live.” Thoreau
