So what can be done about homesteading lifestyle turning into the loneliness?
- Start recording your experience into podcast and then upload it on websites like dailymotion or youtube etc.
- Connect with other homesteaders around the world on forums and meetups. Share your experience. Keep in touch with them through online means.
- Get a sewing machine and start quilting and other sewing stuff. This will keep you creative.
- Raise animals into your backyard or farm. You can even start chickens, goat, fish and other animals which can be sold. They can give you company and keep you busy.
- Talk to atleast one new straner outside your family circle by travelling to another place or town.
- Get ham radio and start connecting with other users at night.
- Gather with other homesteaders once a month for bartering and other discussions like security etc.
