Society is falling apart in so many places. The earth keeps throwing disasters at us, one after the other. And we are losing our resilience. More and more we are relying on government for assistance, on corporations for supplying our food, clothing and income. On external forces for our happiness.

It is a dark and bleak view looking toward the future.
But there is hope.
A spark, a glimmer rising up out of the earth.
They come armed with shovels, dirty hands, mucky boots and fresh organic produce.
You see them at the farmers markets. The beaming, welcoming faces, truly living life how it should be lived.
They work hard. They get dirty. But by golly, they get satisfying results.
They eat well. They bask in the sunshine and walk in the rain. Their children know where their food comes from, and can name actual vegetables.
They are free.
Are you a Freedom Chaser?
You know something is wrong, something is missing. There is a gap in your reality. Your life relies on the truth of other people, you are slogging it out day after day and not getting any closer to independence.
You suspect that they whole system is here to keep you occupied and distracted, producing more revenue and consuming more goods. You know there is more, you can feel fleeting hints of freedom.
You know it in your bones that there is a way to become free. The wild at heart, longing for some real results, but not quite sure of the path to get there.
I will show you the way, one step at a time you and I will walk the path of freedom and self reliance. Grow your own food, preserve your harvest, ferment foods to nourish your body, grow strong and resilient and become increasingly courageous and knowledgeable.
You can save yourself and your family, follow me, I will show you the way.
Homesteading is the answer to so many of our nation’s problems.
AND you don’t have to own actual land to be able to embrace the homesteading, self reliance skills.
You can homestead ANYWHERE!

What is homesteading?
Homesteading is a mindset, a way of life.
Homesteading is frugal but not cheap.
It buys quality items that will last well. Good items are often found in garage sales or second hand stores. Here are my tips on second hand shopping and how to prepare for the next recession.
Homesteading is not wasteful.
Food scraps are made in to stock, or fed to chickens or turned in to compost, or all three! Hides are tanned and made in to useful items.
Clothes are mended, or repurposed, and eventually used as rags then composted. Furniture is reborn as new pieces with a little love and attention. Building scraps are turned in to all sorts of fantastic buildings. Learn how to save money here and here.
Homesteading is creative.
Got an unused bookshelf? Make it into nesting boxes. Got an old sheet? Make an apron. Old billboard skins? Tarpaulins to use in the garden. Here are my repurposed DIY projects
Homesteading is delicious.
Learn to cook with fresh seasonal produce. Store food, preserve, can, dehydrate, pickle and ferment to your heart is content. Grow, buy or barter for bountiful harvests and put them up for the winter when food is scarce. Make sourdough or learn to cook from scratch and learn how to cook in your slow cooker.
Homesteading is satisfying.
Milk a goat, grow something with your own two hands from seed, chop a pile of wood then enjoy the fire. Nothing compares to the feeling after a good day of physical production. It is what we were built for. It is what your soul longs for. 10 homesteading skills to start on
Homesteading is community.
Get involved. Buy from local producers. Barter with your neighbors. Join a co-op or a community garden. Start a #FoodisFree stand with your excess harvest. Donate to food banks or soup kitchens. Learn from your elderly neighbor then make them a cup of tea and talk with them.
