For people who are new to the concept of self sufficiency it can be quite confusing at times. Thank you for somehow being the one who explains in a way that I understand easily. I've gone back and watched many videos you put out long before I found your channel just because you've taught me so much. I was raised a Chicago suburb girl who ended up in the Colorado Rocky's and it's taken me over a decade to just be able to bake right much less realize all the options nature here offers. I'd been cluelessly living amongst Juniper, Montmorency Cherry and Nanking Cherry trees for years! Now that I know what I can do with the fruits of my own yard teachers like you have been such a big help.

Great tips, I won't ever be able to full on homestead because of health issues, but I'm trying to incorporate homesteading in my daily life where I can and when I have the energy. I already cook from scratch but I need to work more on cooking seasonally. I grew my first garden last year, just celery that I started from kitchen scraps and tomatoes I started from seed. But that was all I could handle. I do plan to expand my garden this year I'm going to try growing zucchini, peas, and pumpkins as well as tomatoes and celery. I also buy bulk produce and preserve it, so far I just freeze or dehydrate, I'm still a little bit terrified of pressure canning and haven't had the energy to try to figure it out, maybe this year I'll finally learn.

We moved to very rural east central Alabama about 20 years ago! Love it! We are not anywhere near being finished with establishing our home We do not go into debt, thank you! And we save! With every pay cycle, we save. We tithe to ourselves. We also gift back to our community. LOL What happened to my train of thought?!?!?! Oh, foods that are labeled "mix". Yep, I was taken back by how many good souls use self-rising! We have ground grains for 20 years. Ezekiel's bread

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, iI love how you’re able to put that much wisdom in a short and clear video! We learned time management and cooking from scratch with seasonal ingredients (bought from local farmers) while we were still living in the city. We never had credit card dept to start with, but we did have a big loan from the bank for our house in the city, houses in rural areas often are much cheaper, also reducing dept! And I sooo wish I grew more while living in the city, we had lots of indoor plants and we did have flowers and herbs and lettuce in the city (on a balcony), but now we’re on the countryside I realise I could have grown so much more!! 😆

Rural properties in Texas have gone up exponentially since the exodus from Corona and the cities. Not to mention the influx of new residents from California and New York. With Billionaires buying every ranch that goes on the market and BlackRock buying complete Subdivisions “I mean every house” thrown into the mix it become very expensive to buy any properties in the countryside of Texas!!! Actually it’s Sad!

I loved to hear you say that homesteading is a state of mind. I just retired. I sold my home in the big city, moved to a tiny mountain town into my new tiny house (399 sq ft)! I live in a tiny home community on a very tiny lot (about 30x60). But it's amazing how much I believe I will be able to grow & do homesteading style, right here. We are a ranching community, so I can buy all the grass fed/finished beef from friends, as well as pork and fresh eggs. But I will grow most of my own food. I make kombucha, kefir, sourdough bread, grow my herbs on the kitchen windowsill, and so much more. I cook mostly from scratch. And you are SO right... time management is a must! I'm so busy in retirement with all these things! I will be fermenting and canning along with you! Love your videos!!!

When you learn to cook, get used to cook more and put the rest into the freezer. So you have healthy convieniance food when you have other things to do and don't get stessed. The freezer is also your friend when everything in the garden is ready at the same time. Then you can cook or preserve when you want.

one of the points of homesteading is independence. A credit card and debt makes you dependent on your bank, and debt is like a drug. It feels nice in the short term, but then you get used to that standard of living and need more and more until your under a mountain of desperation and not independent at all. say no to debt under all circumstances.

Debt free or low debt is completely doable. We are gamers as well as homesteaders. This year we are playing more attention to preserving/storage. The garden is in bed for now as our harsh high desert weather doesn't allow for growing without a lot of protective measures. This year, I want to add more fruit & nut/shade trees.

Working on #1. Though I work several jobs and manage to prep a lot of my food on Sundays and evenings, so maybe I do ok already. #2 I have down because I'm kosher and gluten free. #3 I shop at a produce stand mostly, so food is cheap but they only carry items that are at least a little bit seasonal (greenhouses...) I live in an apartment in NYC and I tried to grow plants under a light. I'll try the thing with the light. I did grow out carrot tops back in 2020. That was all I could get. Everything else died when it broke the dirt. I think the grow lights were too weak and only good enough for ugh weed...

Cooking from scratch. My complain for people learning to cook from scratch, most recipes have ingredients that are premade mixes/food. Problem with "there's things to spend money on" is that there's ALWAYS things to spend money on. It doesn't matter what you have, there'll be someone trying to convince you that you absolutely need this other amazing tool/ convenience.

If I remember right, their Vegetables Illustrated is organized by type of veggie so you can easily find recipes for what's in season. It includes how to prep each one, too, which was really helpful for me.

Your city or the next bigger one has a local college agricultural extension which you can contact about local seeds. They are tasked with helping locals succeed in growing things from the area for best success. Mine just gave me local lettuce seed to grow & let some go to seed for collecting & storing in their seed bank. They offer classes too. I'm in a Master Gardener class that is very helpful! It requires volunteer work, but for me that is half the fun.

Can you make a video on the cost of this lifestyle? I really really love this lifestyle but I'm only 22 with a job that pays minimum wage (not complaining, just can buy a farm or property). What jobs do you and your husband have? I want to live your life but it seems so expensive

@@tammyhughs7836 if it doesn't set then you have great tasting syrup. If it over sets when you use it you can just warm it. You'll be fine either way have faith in yourself.

DO you think 50 is to old to start a small homestead with some stock?

I really enjoy your videos and have learned much. One thing to add to your to-do list is knife skills. I was worried about your finger tips when cutting that onion.

An issue we are seeing. People started "watching" homestead videos and are running out and buying their idea of what a homestead should look like. Then realizing, they don't have a clue how to do anything. They realize that and then sell off these large plots of land to developers, who are mowing everything down to build cracker box houses. Farm land is becoming extinct! If folks would be wise and learn how to manage a few buckets of corn on their porch, first. Then if that works, add a few more, and go from there- like buying a home with a big enough back yard to garden. We live from the inside out. Not YT in.. This isn't' the mouse place; somebody has to scoop the poop and collect those eggs, weed those rows and pick those veggies, in 90 degree heat! ..😂 Thanks for the common sense video's.

I disagree. I used to always work, great time mgt. With no play time, no down time, it is unhealthy. No one needs to work 10 hrs a day just to fall in bed and do it over again. That is not life. Plus, just doing all this for self only isn't the definition of helping others
