Thank you for the warm welcome! We will begin doing our research, and start working on a plan to come down and visit. We have very often mused on the possibillity of moving south of the border, but until recently, had never been aware of such an organized libertarian "movement", for lack of a better term. We are very excited at the possibillities.
We are a Christian family of eight, (4 girls, 2 boys aged 8 months to eight years, and we are both 32 years old), my wife homeschools, and I am a certified journeyman carpenter. Until this year, I have operated a small woodworking/ cabinetry & furniture business out of my home, but due to tax, financial and time pressures, have recently shut down the family business and am working as a maintenance carpenter for a maximum security prison nearby. We live in Chilliwack, BC; I am an avid hunter and rifleman with aspirations of one day being more astute at gunsmithing, as well as becoming a skillfull 1000+ yd marksman, and though we both were born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, love the rural life--definitely not "big city folk".
Our main interests include: Theology, History, hunting and shooting sports, (which of course includes handloading), homeschooling (including teaching my children to love God and all men, how to be self-sufficiant, hard working, productive and noble citizens willing to sacrifice all for a better future for their progeny), woodworking, wine making (and maybe one day fine lagers), pipe smoking and bonfires under a clear starry sky in God's country with fellow liberty-minded friends. I don't know if my woodworking skills would be of any use in Wyoming, but I am hard working and a quick learner, and open to any industrious profession I can comfortably support my family with and have time for the crucial training years for my children.
Thank you again for the warm welcome. I am looking forward to more discussions, and we are excited to continue to learn more.
