Living at TKi Land

Attention:
A calling to backpack travelers, tree lovers, nature enthusiasts, earth and sun worshipers, trailwalkers, wilderness wanderers, and other tent dwelling creative outdoor lifestyle folks...

Hello, I am the T of TKi Land..!
TKi Land is my intention and daily work of living with gratitude, respect and love for our home in space, Mother Earth.

I am seeking individual people who want to participate in assisting me towards the visions, intentions and actions of establishing this sacred place for others to enjoy.

I choose to be selective in who is accepted because harmonious coexisting within the "tribe" is my intent, to avoid conflicts where possible, and to honor my own charge as "caretaker" of this sacred land.


The overview is this:
1. TKi Land is privately owned by me, Tim, a fit, healthy and happy 63 year, single man.
Ki (kee) is my 11 years long, adventure dog partner and there's Ra, our adopted boy dog.

2. Beautiful 55 acres of steep northern California mountainside, fully covered in a diverse and healthy, mixed conifer-deciduous forest. Over 5 miles of private hiking trails, some into US Forest Service land. Clear streams, huge trees, old gold mines and variety of wildlife.

3. Semi-remote, wilderness feeling and views, surrounded by US Forest Service land, though only 9 miles from town. Decent to excellent cell phone coverage in some locations, or non-existant.

4. The walk or drive up to main area is 1/2 mile, on steep 4x4 road. Very minimal parking so I encourage arriving without a car. There is public transportation available to town and I'll pick you up.
You must be physically able to hike uphill with 20+ pound backpack and walk 2 or more miles. My vehicle only used for town runs, supplies, water hauls and emergency preparedness.

5. All water is hauled up from the spring below as needed in dry months. Snow and rain is temporarily held for later use to the garden areas. Water purification system is used for people.

6. Electricity is from small PV solar system, and small propane generator. I have a large variety of hand and electric tools, plus ropes and rigging gear for tree climbing and log dragging.

7. Living situation is self-reliant tent camping, with all your own gear, food, etc.,  (I do have some tents and other gear available) and have some prior outside living experience, or willingness to learn.
Some shared resources available are: my library books, cooking stove/eating areas, minimal water hot shower, and greenhouse. Some meals can be shared together.
As well, if you are musical, I have guitars, electric piano and recording/performing equipment.

8. Sounds of spoken poetic verse, or words musically sung are preferred, though regular talking is fine.  Emphasis on healthy habits of lifestyle, with intention to learn from being close to the land. Walking or seated meditation, working or resting, windy or still, it's opportunity to practice presence.

9. I welcome solution oriented thinkers, creative, artistic, musical, co-operative, non-victim mindset, within a generally healthy and happy body-mind-soul lifestyle.

10. I ask your donation of $10 per night stayed, and 2 hours project work time each day. I'm very experienced about various work projects, with attention to safety,  though relaxed and non-stressful is my way. Contributions of your time, money, skills, materials and whatever else you do, is left to be gifted, as a part of the land, your offering of respect to our Mother Earth.

11. Be without addiction to alcohol, drugs or drama. Be honest, careful and kind.
You are responsible for your own safety.

12. Live daily life with conscious grattitude for our home, dear planet Earth.

Male or female, youthful to aged, skilled or learning. You will be respected by me.
