I am VERY happy you started this series!! I think about you every time I tell someone, "Precalculus is harder than calculus," and also every time I rotate out what's in the front of my emergency food stash or take a quick inventory of what's in my emergency pantry otherwise. Being prepared for SHTF despite being an apartment dweller feels amazing. Thank you!
My family and I have been working in this direction for quite a while now. We live on a mountain farm in E TN. My goal is to build something that lasts, and will provide future generations with a place to thrive as the rest of the world crumbles around them. Not sure if it'll be a blessing or a curse for them, but it is what it is ❤️
That commitment part is the hardest. Raising animals is not a fad hobby you can move away from when you decide you want to be more active in your pickleball group.
My wife wanted chickens and ducks and a garden and now she’s doing a masters program and I’m stuck tending the birds and the garden lays fallow.
Beautifully written and very timely! Please continue. I grew up in the country, surrounded by ranches and farms. I love the salt of the earth temperament and still follow it in my life, even though I am not a homesteader.
You have a new subscriber, Magena. Growing your own food can be as easy as growing sprouts and microgreens, which can be done inside, with a small investment in the seeds. Both of these methods are easy to do and there's no shortage of YouTube videos that can show you how, many of them implementing common items you already have. The time investment is minimal, and the results are fast.
I like your common sense approach to self-sufficiency. So much so that I'm subscribing. Your family is definitely on the right path. Congrats on your foresight and fortitude.
Have been on this path partially as a suburb dweller, but now that hubby has retired, we're looking to really buckle down. Looking forward to what we can learn. 👍
While this topic interests me very much, I have enough experience gardening on my tiny suburban plot to be skeptical of every achieving any amount of independence from the grocery store...

Thanks for the heads up Holly!

Subscribed. Hoping to get started soon. I’m 56 now 😐
Got here via Holly (thanks, Holly!).
