Homesteading

[Homesteaded]

Since this place seem to be completely sterile of any interesting topics, I thought I would throw out a discussion about something I'm thinking more and more about, Homesteading.

Anyone doing any type of homesteading activities? Animals? Gardens? Water sourcing? Off-Grid energy? Canning?

Right now we have a decent garden and plan to keep expanding. We are getting chickens this Spring. I wish I had a way to use wood to heat my house but right now I don't and the process to outfit it with wood burning seems like a heavy lift.

We hope to start doing some canning. Essentially we are trying to get to a point where we rely less and less on outside food sources. My trust for the food we are provided through the normal channels is very low.
