Frugal living; Recycling; Kid projects; Senior projects or stories about seniors in rural Montana making a difference. Depression type articles (tips and news about how people survived during the Depression and how they can make it in today's economy).; If you have a story on someone living off the grid who can take a Q-tip and nail file and build a mall in the wilderness we would be interested in reading such a story. Think Jeremiah Johnson (who was actually a real guy and part of Montana history); Recipes. if you can feed dinner to a family of four on $5 we want to hear from you!; Note: Flathead Valley (Northwest Montana) is 20 years behind the times when it comes to the Internet, particularly internet marketing and social networking, so any articles about online work has to be super simple."

Looking for writers who either have lived in rural areas and who are familiar with sustainable/ self sufficiency or living off the land. However, I know there is creativity everywhere so I'm open to any articles on recycling or turning trash into gift items or treasures, and work-at-home jobs or ideas."
