    ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs‏ @MorlockP 14 Jul 2020

    Just about 48 hours left on my kickstarter Escape the City: a How-To Homesteading Guide Seven years ago I moved from the city to a farm where I taught myself to garden, raise animals & cook "farm to table". I show you how. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …pic.twitter.com/EW8C4wrj27

        Not going to give a "top 10" reasons you should back the book, but just a "random 10", because rank ordering depends on individual people and individual preferences 1) tons of good recipes. I <pats stomach> like food. I'm also a sperg in the kitchen - I experiment and record.

        2) even if you have ZERO desire to move to a homestead, you may get a house at some point. I spend a LOT of pages covering yard maintenance. Grass, fertilizing, thatch rakes, weed barrier, wood chips, hoses, sprinklers, watering, overseeding, top dressing, shrubs, flowers, etc

        3) You may be a window-shopper or aspirational person (at this stage in life) who just wants to THINK about moving to the country. Buying a book is very low commitment - $20 for ebook, or $50 for trade paperbacks, and you get endless hours of daydreaminghttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        4) Perhaps you live in the suburbs, and like it there. You can still do things like plant a garden or raise chickens. I have tons of advice on chickens - breeds, details about eggs, experimental results on A/B testing different roosts in the coop, feed.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        5) Or you might want to garden. There's a lot of information out there, but it's disorganized and not presented systematically. SPERG POWERS ACTIVATE. I explain the life cycle of plants, what mulch is and how it works, soil chemistry, ammendments, & morehttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        6) Maybe you're a prepper (kinda crazy if you ask me - what are the chances that we'll ever see a plague, a new Cold War, or an economic collapse in our lifetimes?). I've got advice on prepping, starting with scenario analysis. Sane stuff, not Mad Max.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        Lots of 80/20 rule thinking on prepping, with itemized lists. (As a reminder: I saw covid-19 coming back in Dec/Jan, stocked up on masks and food before the shortages, got out of the stock market before it crashed, got back in right after.)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        7) Or maybe you're interested in light homesteading - just an acre or two, not too far from the city. I talk about this scenario - small tractors, wood stoves, minimal livestock (one pig, maybe two, which you send off to the butcher).

        8) I've got several friends who homestead for their kids sake - they don't want their kids to grow up soy, but instead want to raise them out where they can run through forests, splash in creeks, and marvel at deer tracks in soil. DO IT FOR THE CHILDRENhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        9) Or maybe you're a mad-man. Maybe you want to dive in the deep end. If so, you NEED these books. Tractor shopping. Diesel maintenance. Welding. Logging. Firewood splitting. Pig butchery. It's all there. Literally encyclopedic. Learn from my experience.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        10) Final reason to get these books: Flip through a homesteading magazine (there are several). They are often aspirational - they're not just for an audience that aspires (but does not do), they're by AUTHORS who aspire but do not do.

        I, whatever my flaws, am not a bullshitter. I touch on a few topics in the books that I have no actually done, just to indicate "this topic here exists, you can go and learn more", but I do not provide information authoritatively unless I've DONE IT.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …

        Changing steel belted radial tires on your tractor? I tell you the right way - and the wrong way - to use tire spoons. Also, I include A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …pic.twitter.com/bI7LzlDrYZ

        Heating with firewood? I've read some laughable theories in homesteading magazines. Having dropped a !~@#-ton of trees, and cut, split, and stacked north of 60 cords ( equivalent to 6 logging truck loads), I have fact-based thoughts. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …pic.twitter.com/wiArDn0rGx

        Setting up a workshop to build furniture, fix cars, weld stuff, or all of the above? I give my actual opinions on what tools you need, rank ordered and grouped by task. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tjic/escape-the-city-a-how-to-homesteading-guide/ …pic.twitter.com/BYvcr5VBev
