I love this idea of self sufficiency! Thank you for explaining to us in detail on what homesteading actually is. I think now a days our society is starting to fall apart and we humans are becoming more like parasites creating 3rd party institutions that serve only to degrade humankind. I think homesteading is a way to save humanity and a way to progress forward to a more prosperous world.
Back to the nature, and back to the old traditional ways that have proven to work! :)
