We have really started to be self sufficient and we have started taking in some animals. We have pigs, goats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, two beagles we are trying to find good homes for, our cat, and a new dog that maybe with us for the long haul who is a husky. Here are some pictures for you. Or bunnies just had their first litter and the stew pot is going to look great!!
I know right....... time has flown by. We have completed everything we need to get our residence permit and today we have installed satalite INTERNET! So we shall be posting a ton of pictures of everything and keep you all posted as we continue to build our homestead.
Sorry for the delay but we shall catch up soon!
Started out shower area and it shall be tiled with awesome free tiles we found! Also some more work on the privey has been done. We finally got a truck load of free sand from an awesome friend to do the final banking work..... it is coming together! To to it off I ask now under 200 lbs!!!!
Working on the building of our Privy now that we have our permit for that..... so much more needed before we will be granted our right to live on the land however.... ugh.
First off, I'm very sorry if it is. Secondly invest in solar!! Although not at the land living yet due to a little more building needing and one last occupancy permit, our "camping" experience is enhanced so much with solar power. This is a picture of our portable garage we have set up to stay away from the bugs and enjoy a meal.
Here is some information on our beliefs. This of course is only some of it but I hope you enjoy and agree.
Universal Naturalists are founded on the main principal that everyone has the right to believe what ever they want to believe. Leaving a minimal footprint on our mother earth is a large portion of our belief as well. In all ways possible we will live off the land, with non conventional ways to harness items such as, but not limited to, water, food and power.
We believe in the bill of rights.
We belive in a day of rest or "Sabbath" if you will. No more than six days of work and at least one day of rest is required for the healing of the body. When ever possible on this day it will be spent with family, friends and anyone willing to break bread with you and yours. As long as the gathering is pure no mention of any god is needed as your heart and soul are what matter in the end and how you treat one another.
Respect and honor for not only your mother and father but for all life forms.
Only commit harm in self defense, never be the first to strike in anger with all life forms.
Live off the land as much as possibly. Wasting as little as possible at all times, the smaller your footprint on mother earth the better.
Never speak false testimony of any life form.
Never steal.
To be accepted into the nobel path of enlightenment we believe that one must first have felt suffering. Suffering can be defined as pain, heart ache, tragedy ect. No minimum or maximum amount is needed, mearly the understanding of life and suffering so that one has come to the point of seeking a true path.
The path is broken into three groups and are as follows...
Moral;
Right speech Right action Right livelihood
Concentration;
Right effort Right mindfulness Right concentration
Wisdom;
Right view Right intention
Although no path is the same, the path of wisdom is needed to compete all others. Without the right views and right intention your path would not be for true enlightenment and could lead to a path unwanted.

Been very sick again but finally had some energy last weekend to get some things done. We are on our way to getting set up and in a couple weeks. Here are some updates pictures.
Huge issues have come up with building on the land. It seems the old code enforcement officer was fine with everything we were planning on doing but the new one is not. So we have got citations and possible fines for starting what we were told is fine....
It is ok though we keep on swimming.
We shall be setting up a kickstarter soon to help get things rolling so keep your eyes open as big things are going to happen!
We are working on our out door shower and setting up our kitchen as well. We hoe to have tons of visitors to "camp out" with and enjoy life.
