Challenge: What does it mean to be a Homesteader?
The modern definition of homesteading is evolving. My own understanding of what it means to be a homesteader is evolving. More people want to get into homesteading every day. And many people don't know what it means, or only see Homesteading from one angle.
We want to know: What does it mean to be a Homesteader?
In your response you might consider questions like:
- How does homesteading relate to sustainability?

To me, homesteading is relying a bit less on the modern capitalist system for your bare necessities, and growing your own food, maybe even supplying your own power, so you can be a bit more self-reliant. Many people might choose to get a place in the country...but I'm not sure that that's necessarily required. We all can grow our own food a bit and be a bit more self-reliant so we aren't dependent on trade just to survive in a world with ever rising cost and reliance on oil, an ever depleting resource.
Hi @geekpowered! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I hope you will consider expanding on these ideas in a post. I just realized the challenge prompt wasn't clear so I just edited it to be clear that we are asking for entries via posts vs comments :)
