Thanks for sharing! Videos like this make my day better. I liked your point about not having to be the person who wants all of the big stuff. I'm personally interested in gardening, composting, canning and cooking. Also some fiber arts & being involved locally. Not so much raising animals myself ^^
I started in an apartment with a larger kiddie pool filled with soil, i grew lot of radishes and radish seed pods. I now own a house, with 1/4-1/3 an acre. I will garden. We started with a roo in our apartment (serama) now he has girlfriends and their eggs are delicious. Thanks for the upload.
The homesteading movement concentrates, mostly, on growing food. I understand that food is the most basic need. Without food, nothing else matters. But there's a lot of other things that individual humans and society needs. A person can produce things to trade for food if s/he can't/would rather not, grow their own. I would rather the homesteading definition to be a life of self reliance to keep a home.
I have the space and the will but still a battle with an abundance of squirrels!! Living in town on my suburban homestead I can't just make them the other dark meat although I would love to. So frustrating when they ruin all my thoughts and ideas and goals even with the Siberian Husky on guard. I just don't have the energy or resources to deal with them since they are pretty widespread throughout the community. Maybe I need to move how's the housing market and maybe more importantly how is the squirrel population in Maine? :-) I just don't want to have another year with del Monte labels on my Canon jars😢
@@mnnomad1870 we have plenty of squirrels but they’ve never bothered the garden here ! I figured it’s a combination of my dogs scent being so strong there as well as I suspect they have plenty to eat around , as we have so many trees with nuts and people with bird feeders probably too . I would try spreading some hot pepper around as they hate spicy !
I remember watching the original video and this is definitely a great update! You are doing a great job at editing your videos now too!
@@WickedCritz thank you !! 😁
I love this 😊
Thanks for getting into toxic comparisons.
I fall for it sometimes
Thank you! 😊
