Homesteading tips

As politics continue to divide the nation the only rational choice is to move to more rural areas and become as self sustaining as possible.

Can we discuss homesteading tips? How does one achieve this lifestyle with no experience? How much does decent property cost?

Not sure if this helps but I've started collecting encyclopedias for gardening, fishing, etc while trying to put it into practice.

    Solar is really good now. If you can invest ~10,000 you could live like any normal person in the city would.
    Anybody who has a bit of extra land should offer camping spots to bikers, maybe put up a link to donate to you.

      That's a great tip. It has been a decade almost since I last looked into it. What about if it gets damaged? Is it still expensive to replace?

    Drive west of Nashville about an hour. You will be able to find property on a hill side for less than $1000 an acre. You need about 5 acres for one family for sustainable wood heat and power. Set up a chicken hutch, and grow a garden. You will be working 12 hour days and will need to be able to buy food for the first 2 years, but after that you have your homestead.

    Make your first house a shack or a tree fort.

    You will want a deck area, as any sort of level ground will feel comfortable compared to hill side.

    I've been trying to get a small rural place for the past couple of months and even managed to tour one in person but a lot of people seem to have the same idea

    Even in remote villages, soon as a listing goes up anywhere the landlord is flooded with applications from what i've seen

    I'll keep looking though because i literally don't have any other choice either, entering a homeless shelter or anything of the sort would entail a risk of being force-vaxxed in my situation

      The political right lost and its enemies are calling the shots, in case you haven't noticed. Retreating from the pozzed ZOG hellscape cities and waiting for the system to come crashing down (which it sure as frick will) is the best thing one can do right now

    Clean water is number one. You need a well and well pump, storage tank, pressure tank and house pump. Sediment and carbon filters, water softener and UV light to disinfect the water.

      UV light for a well? Used well water my whole life, never done this. Not needed unless you have a contaminated aquifer.

    You lads talking about chickens yet?
    Chickens is the way. Get yourself a few girls to start. You’ll be giving food away before you know it.
    The damned things practically care for themselves, but you’ll have trouble keeping away from the cute little b***hes all the same.
    The kids play with them. Everyone gets the satisfaction that comes with caring for them. Then you get more eggs than you know what to do with.
    Couldn’t ask for much more.
    But you can. Put a rooster in the mix and you get unlimited meat as well. Damn fine set up.

      Keep in mind cleaning chicken shit is a disgusting and dirty pain in the ass, especially in the summer months, AND you absolutely should wear a mask for it. You should rotate their yard regularly as well so they don't completely wipe out the vegetation.

        15 min to shovel some great fertilizer out of a coop into a compost pile. It doesn't even smell as bad as your pussy does.

          Try an hour, plus another 10 to add a fresh layer of straw. This is shovelling into a front end loader so if wheelbarrowing add another 10-15. My boss has 28 chickens and makes me clean the coop.

        putting material like logs, sticks, other natural waste in a non-composted form in a garden bed, itt will break down over time and basically be drip feeding nutrients into the soil which are fuel for whatever you are planting in the garden

    My wife and I are doing this. We see the writing on the wall. We have land in the woods with a nice modest house. Currently gardening as we build. Next step is chickens. Biggest thing we need is solar panels. Once we have those we are completely off grid except internet. I highly recommend this lifestyle. I work from home so it works out very well.

    Learn how to raise chickens. The initial setup is really cheap, as are the birds. With a dozen laying hens you will have an excess of protein for at least two years, if you keep them laying during the winter. After that you can slaughter them for meat, and start a new flock.
    Let them free range. They'll basically find their own food most of the time, and are great for tick control. They produce a pretty good fertilizer, too.

    Start small with gardens and chickens. You also don't need large amounts of acres to have a homestead, and if you do end up with large amounts of land that are considered "agricultural" by the government, you will be fined massively if you don't use it for structures or crops.

      >and if you do end up with large amounts of land that are considered "agricultural" by the government, you will be fined massively if you don't use it for structures or crops.
      This is solved by renting the field to a local hay farmer. Your dairy cow is fed for free or extremely cheap & you don't haveto buy/maintain haying equipment. Agricultural land also comes with cheaper taxes.

    5 acres of wooded land - 15k
    Action building - financed
    Improvements to the action building and tools - 5k max
    Raised beds made from aluminum roof flashing and tree limb stakes (enough to feed at least 2). - .5k
    Coop for 5 laying hens and the equipment to start them. - .5k
    Boom, you are mostly out of the debt cycle and now may actually attract a trad wife all for just 22k. You should take part time work to improve your conditions/savings and pay for your truck ect. Take a security guard job and you can spend the majority of your work time learning how to build your future cabin, pole barns, land improvments, ect.
