What a great example of using the free resources around you! I think this is a vital skill for anyone wanting to live off the land. Thank you so much for sharing this!

I've just become the curator for a new initiative called @Helpie. They are all about finding individuals putting out QUALITY content and helping them grow through mentorship, lessons on the ins and outs of steemit, daily steemit related trivia, and of course upvotes. The idea is to lift up those users who are focusing on quality over quantity and help them to grow. We are starting a Weekly Homesteading Curation Report where not only would the featured posts reach more people, but also they would be paid from the payout of the post. I would love to promote this post in our first edition coming out Monday if you are interested. You can contact me on discord (llfarms) if you have any questions.
