To me, Steemit has been good for me in more ways than one. At first, I was thankful for a way to make a little extra cash for the homestead and things I need on the homestead. I started YouTube for that purpose and it has become so hard to do that there. This was an easier avenue for that purpose, but I also wanted to be able to share and help people that are thinking of homesteading and being more self-reliant. I wanted to help them so they would not make so many mistakes that I and others have made in the past.

Many see the channels on YouTube with much of the equipment that is needed on a homestead and they think I cannot do this because I do not have the cash and they do not want to go in debt to get the equipment. I am a disabled vet and I have a budget to build my homestead debt free as that is my goal, I did have to finance the land but it was an owner finance with some really good terms on that loan. We save to get enough supplies to do a little at a time. We talk to people around us in the area that has the equipment and work out barters and terms on clearing and using their equipment to get us going and maybe later be able to purchase things like a truck and a tractor and such for our homestead. As I am still using a minivan to haul what I can with a little trailer. I wanted to show them it can be done, as I am doing it one day at a time. Many say we are playing homesteading, I want to ask those people a question, would you play a game that takes this much work and is this hard?

Nothing about homesteading is easy!

Allow their words to slide right off you, they are simply jealous that you are able to do it in a debt free way that they only wish they would have thought of!

Your approach is the true pioneer way of homesteading. I admire that. As do many others - perhaps you just haven't found the correct group- [probably because they are hard at work ;)

Are you a part of the Steemit Homestead community?

Btw, wonderful meeting you, and good luck in the contest!

I do not worry about what others say anymore I know what my plan is. It will take longer to get there but it will be worth it in the end. I am but I am also part of the GHS Collective. It is a new community that has just started and has a variety of things about homesteading and self-reliance there.
Not spamming just for your information if you want to check it out!

Thanks for the link, I appreciate it! I used to be a staff writer for SurvivetheApocalypse.net and have quite a few homesteading and prepping networks, yet none on Discord until now :)
