Fog on the Feild
Homesteading is rapidly becoming a much more widespread way of life throughout the nation. With uncertain times and economic difficulties, many families all over the planet have started working toward a homesteading lifestyle.
The fact is, homesteading is a lifestyle that was created, in effect, by the U.S. government. Homesteading goes by many other names such as; frugal living, country living, getting back to basics and self-sufficient living. It can mean so many different things to people, but at the basic foundation it is traditionally the act of creating and developing a self reliant lifestyle.
Many people see homesteading as is a new way of life based on old traditions merged with new technologies. To many, this new living approach is more of a simple lifestyle based on self-sufficiency, hard work, family and environmental values. Homesteading connects us to family and neighbors in a unique and powerful way- that an office or mall job never will.
Homesteading is not about removing yourself from society, but rather, engaging yourself in finding solutions to self-sufficient living. Many have found the challenge of frugal living to be exciting and fulfilling, and have benefited physically from the stronger connection to the labor of farming and tending livestock.
Whether you choose to live a homesteading lifestyle or not, living a simple and frugal existence is becoming more important with each day. Conserve resources, and stay focused and grounded on the most important things in this life.
