Scott lives where you are typing about? He lives at a fairly high elevation zone. I'm not taking the piss. I'm telling you you have a contact if you connect and say 'Lance WIldwood' said I might learn something from you vis a vi buying a property near you. This is my student (first) and a student of Scott's. [link to permaculture.org (secure)] Dive in, don't diss. The reason for people who know things you don't, is so that you can learn things you never imagined.

OK, I did not understand your comment at first.

Not dissing; I simply think ag would be difficult.

Checking your link now.

And THANKS for the tip!

OK, I read the stories at the link.

Jack Spirko, who I listen to, is also a promoter of permaculture.

When I think of being a prepper at that altitude with that climate, I am thinking that some fruit trees are possible. A veggie garden will need a greenhouse.

Of course, we can also build a barn and board horses for people.

I would almost certainly build a good chicken house and yard since I love my fresh eggs more than almost any food that I grow. We rotate chickens through our garden areas here with great success. My chickens clean up the garden while consuming bugs and depositing wonderful fertilizer.

BTW, we have about 30 baby geese I just hatched out of the incubator. They would survive the cold climate there just fine as long as I can keep coyotes and bears away from them.

Darth, look into the possibility of building a walipini on your new property. It's an old concept and makes wonderful sense. Just watch out for those scorpions in NM! I went to school in Artesia and used to go camping up in Cloudcroft area, extremely beautiful, garden of eden vibes up there!

Excellent idea! Thanks.

Yes, NM has scorpions, rattlers, etc. Up where I am looking you have to protect your livestock from the bears.

A relative of mine had a home in Ruidoso. She was cooking waffles for our breakfast.

Suddenly, there was a commotion of birds out in the back yard. I walked to the sliding glass door which was open.

There was a 300 lb. black bear standing there close enough that I could have reached out and touched his nose.

He wanted some WAFFLES!

I simply closed the glass door and he ran away.

No breakfast for bruin.
