RE: Five Lessons from The Walkerland Homestead
Homesteading is not for the faint of heart. It takes more work than some folks want to put in. If you are willing to put in the time, effort and jump in with both feet with no grandiose ideas, it is well worth it. And homesteading is different for each person/family. What is right for you may not be good for me. It depends on our values and where we are in life. You have learned some great lessons and give good advice based on your experiences. I enjoy your posts!
I 100% agree with you- it is not for the faint of heart and for people who watch the TV shows that romanticize the lifestyle.
I thought that we had really practical ideas about what this lifestyle would be like, but there were definitely some things that we really didn't quite "get" until we actually did them. When you've got an axe, and a wood stump and a chicken .... things get very real.
You are right @cecicastor homesteading is different for every person.
