If getting off the grid, learning self-sufficiency, and rediscovering traditional skills and methods appeal to you, you've found your tribe. Our community welcomes everyone interested in homesteading, gardening, self-sufficiency, off-gridding, and living a life independent from intrusion. Experienced old coot or new and just beginning your journey to freedom and independence, you are welcome here. Respectful behavior is welcomed. This is a family-oriented space. Please keep your language and posts appropriate for all audiences. Oh, and please don't eat the Mods.
