43/ Not only does NY have a lot of open land, but it is - for my money - the most beautiful land in the north east. If it didn't have high taxes, I'd rather homestead in the Hudson valley than here in NH. https://twitter.com/NullifiedVoice/status/1254854643173060608 …

0xWinger @0xWingerRecently found a short thing I wrote in high school (sophomore?) about being self-reliant > producing my own food, having a drilled well, and solar panels. 12 years later and I'm _just now_ shopping for a small tractor and have 3-1/2 acres. Slowly getting up to speed... https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1254842751721648128 …1 reply 0 retweets 11 likesShow this thread -

50/ It will be finished and out later this year (via kickstarter at first). The thesis is basically "I'm a white collar person and I live in the city or burbs ... how, concretely, do I homestead? What do I buy? What do I do? How does <gestures> it all work?"

51/ What is a tractor? How does it work? What is it for? How do I maintain it? How do I raise pigs? Kill them? Butcher them? Make bacon? Plant a garden? Water it? Kill weeds? Cut down a tree? Heat the house with wood? Raise chickens? Build a greenhouse? Weld a broken implement?
