Welcome everyone. Are you already homesteading/working on self sufficiency or just interested? I live off grid in Spain on 3 hectares, with a small house and a few animals :)

Hi,

Late to the party per usual. I've put together a couple little frugal, off-grid homesteads/forest farms over the last 15 years. Presently on some wooded acreage in Appalachian Kentucky. Enjoy building things, growing things, privacy to do our own things. Have also done the same in the boonies of east Hawaii - a far nicer climate there. Here we have chickens, grow a bit of our food. Plant lots of fruit/nut/etc trees. Remote spots are a trade-off.
