      30/ yep. You all know my situation: city boy on the homestead for ~ 7 years. I've got a friend in similar boat. Both of us white collar, so can throw capital in. Both of us have. HUGE capital sinks. He's got a massive 50 ton loader & big tractor >https://twitter.com/EricRichards22/status/1254850385593929730 …

      You can kind of see this on shows like Alaska The Last Frontier. A farmstead that's been around for a generation or more has just accumulated _stuff_. There'll be implements out in the woods, and sheds packed full of odds and ends, stacks of lumber, scrap iron, junked cars, etc

      31/ and I've been throwing similar capital in but in a different mix: smaller machines, but lots of them, and maybe more spent on land improvement (I think? not sure). I've got a tractor and maybe 15 implements. Old family farm prob has 4 tractors and 40, plus junk/scrap piles

      32/ And there's so much stuff that's gated by either owning the right tool, or by having the wrong tool plus a welder, or by having a buddy who has the right tool and can loan it to your for a week.

      I was thinking about tilling up a new patch of ground for the garden, and was looking at rototillers. They aren't cheap, even on craigslist, and it's like $100/day to rent one I called my dad and he goes "Yeah, there's three or four kicking around here, I'll tune one up for ya"

      34/ Yep, strongly agree. US was already moving at a steady clip towards a work-remotely job ecosystem, and covid as turbocharged that. Pick a career that allows remote work, if you can. https://twitter.com/ZeroBolusZero/status/1254851871564394497 …

      35/ this is an excellent point related: probably the thing that most prepared me for homesteading was ... running a 10 person ecommerce companyhttps://twitter.com/ngvrnd/status/1254852223529619458 …

      and also, having the drive to solve problems when you don’t want to, to learn how to do things when you know the first five tries will be failure or close, just to learn the skills, and to keep going. it’s not impossible, but you need to go in with the right expectations

      37/ same energy as You slaughtered three large pigs, you butchered one, 1200 lbs of meat to go ... you slip on the ice and break your rib and now it hurts to breath, and you've got 1200 lbs of meat that will rot unless you finish butchering TOO BAD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SOMEHOW

      38/ you cut down a tree ... and it falls backwards, hanging up on other trees. You now have a 4,000 lb "widow maker" hanging in mid air, and you don't have a winch or a block-and-tackle TOO BAD SOLVE THE PROBLEM, SOMEHOW
