Our journey from city life to live in a 600 square foot shed and homesteading.

Call the Reneys for Homestead Rescue!!
This tendency to “homestead”, live off the grid in a manner not unlike 19th century farmers, may become the norm if the Biden cabal is successful in dismantling America’s infrastructure.
Yes, people will be doing it in Central Park................
Our best friends are having to partially live off the grid but not by choice. The propane provider that they use cr@pped out on them and they have gone for weeks in the middle a a severe cold snap, without heat or hot water. They do still have electricity so are able to use the electric heaters we loaned them. They can’t just go stay at a motel or even at our place because they have farm animals that need care.
If you are on tik tok you are on the wrong track.
Who gets up first to start the hot water for coffee?
“Tok Tok”?
Would the trannie version be “Tuck Tuck”?
Not going to tiktok but I applaud anyone who has what it takes to live off the grid. Mostly it takes guts. Not as much guts as enduring a winter in Valley Forge, but some.
600 sq ft? My first apartment was larger than that. I wish them well.

With all of our advanced 21st Century technology, now is the time to be doing it.
It's much simpler than we expected.
Were selling our house and building a 981 sq ft modern farmhouse on our 5.5 acre rural property. Easy to heat and cool. Plenty of room for gardens and animals.
19th century farmers
Had no grid it was just a matter of how it was.
Many rural farms did not get electric until the 50’s.
I grew up on one.
Horses were the norm until after WWII.
It was only after we became a Urban country that most people .
Don’t realize what life was like. Most of the country.
TikTok to begin with... and I’m just not buying it. Why do people feel the need to post whatever difficulties they may or may not be having for the world to see? Money comes to mind along with scams.
It’s like “influencers”, useless people with the need to be seen and liked who offer nothing to society.
Then there’s the narcissistic crowd who post endless videos and photos of their massive asses and lips and think people want to see them.
I grew up where you dealt with problems head on, took responsibility if you screwed up and if things weren’t going right you worked harder to right it.
Exactly.
The first house I bought was a cute Cape Cod at 800 square feet! A doll’s house...but a corner lot in a safe neighborhood. ;)
These days, Beau & I do all the ‘homesteading’ things - but with the ‘luxury’ of a farm house, a barn, electricity, water and heat. ;)
I bought a 900 square foot house - 1975 - in a tiny hamlet with one acre and had a nice garden. Mortgage payment was 150.00. But then I got married and we wanted to have at least 10 acres with lots of woods. We had our dream house built in 1984. Not that big but enough for us. Super insulated, passive solar, woodstove. Enough room for a nice garden. Our livestock days are over. Never did get a mule :(.
Whilr it sucks, they can get 100 lb cylinders of propane filled anywhere that fills grill cylinders and use those to supply gas to the house by disconnecting the big tank and connecting it to the cylinder.
Would love to know whereabouts you are. We think about this a lot. I’m sure you could give many of us some great insights.
