44/ this is a good question! yes, self sufficiency is possible - that's why my wife and I homestead. We raise most of our own food (pigs, sheep, ducks, fruit trees, veggies, etc.). https://twitter.com/NullifiedVoice/status/1254855390891618305 …

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?

Replying to @MorlockP
BTW, I'm planning on getting the ebook because that's how I do all my reading these days. My teenage daughter has also requested a paper version for her use. Right now she's looking at vet tech, but being out in the country with her own animals appeals to her.

Awesome! Paper should come w free ebook copy, so one pledge should take care of you both!
