Any Hawaiian Goats lurking around here?

I have escaped the mainland and began setting up a homestead in the jungle. I chose Hawaii because it's as far away from "America" as I could possibly move without changing citizenship, plus 2500 miles of ocean felt like a good barrier from the rest of the worlds bullshit.
My family is basically permanently camping while I build us a small house and develop our land for animal and crop farming. We live in tents under a 20x40 tarp canopy. We have rain catchments for water and 2 solar panels for electricity. We use propane water heaters for showering and washing dishes, and a propane grill for cooking. The kids use online schooling for education.
I'm not particularly skilled at anything, but I'm doing my best and learning to adapt quickly. We love it here and I just wanted to reach out and see if any Voaters respond

I have a similar story, tent life in Kalapana for the last 10 years has been an experience for sure.

My 20x30 plastic house has gone through multiple lava eruptions, hurricanes, earth quakes and child births. This place is equally harsh and beautiful. I love calling it home.
