I have never done logging, but my stepdad's Mom grew up in logging camps. (So, I have heard various stories about logging over and over again).
I was kind of wondering if there were people with small organic farms, specialty dairies etc, that might need someone. I really love to garden, and would be extremely excited about working in agriculture.
I would actually be surprisingly interested in logging if it was my ticket up there: I am not a particularly strong person though. The thing is, I am not opposed to labor as a concept, I just want to be doing something where I am building skills and feel like I am doing it for a reason besides to take home a check. (So, for working at a farm: because I run out of things to do in my garden). I'm guessing the logging up there is really sustainable being as they are still logging after all these years?
And, as far as how far north...well, where ever, but Coos County just looks really cool...I mean anywhere but the East Coast Super City part of NH (I currently live on the I5 super city, though not in a particularly urban part but still far too much.)
Basically, I grew up in a rural area often wishing to be in an urban and hip sort of place, and having spent some time in the urban part of Washington instead of the rural part...it's the last thing I want.
anyway, I'm certainly not averse to doing hard work and actually getting stronger and more in shape and in more of a position to generally be a harder worker, I just dislike working hard for almost nothing and then still being stressed about not having enough money and needing to work more...
