Holy cow anons..after years of wishing, dreaming and learning about self-suff/off grid living, an opportunity of a large amount of acreage + house has presented itself. Though we can’t move for a few years I’m debating snapping it up. I’m a little nervous about putting my skills to test but so excited. I wish I could post pics and give more details :)
Will view it soon in person and decide!
T y! Trying to get spouse on board 100%..baby steps. I’m helping spouse to start to purge items as it will be a definite downsize.
I feel a strong desire to flee the city….the door has opened.
Hey anons, try to read something or learn something new every day regarding being more self sufficient. Yesterday I researched how septic systems and composting toilets work. Today I learned how to make butter as well as soap. And write stuff down. Websites being bookmarked are great but you need physical info.
p.s. for butter, essentially you shake cream with a bit of salt in a mason jar
Awesome posts anon..I just came in from picking black raspberries, sweaty, bitten and scratched but loving it. You’re very inspiring! We go look at acreage off grid in a few days. I’m ready to take the plunge..my whole life has prepared for this and I have a good feeling about it :). I agree with letting nature take the lead..after all, weeds are just misplaced flowers, right?
You’re living life to the fullest..kudos!!
