Hey Scott, welcome to Steemit!
Being a homesteader, and apparently one who walks his own ways, you'll certainly fit in here. I'm quite curious about your Alaska stories as a fur trapper, and look forward to more of your posts, so I've followed you already. I also picked your intro post to share with Hive account@sndbox's Welcome Wednesday contest. (You'll find a bunch of contests of all types here, trying to encourage interaction.) You can check it out here: https://steemit.com/community/@sndbox/introducing-newcomers-with-welcome-wednesdays-steemonboarding-contest-6
Cheers,
