Problems will happen on your homestead. Do you have the skills to resolve them?

Are you working hard, or working smart? The smart way to work stacks function to solve many problems with fewer inputs. This approach helps you clear fence lines, trails, or open habitat while enhancing functionality. When you curate land you increase resources each year. There is a time and place to clear land, but clearing is not always necessary. The forest itself is great habitat and shelter for many types of livestock. Pigs, goats, sheep, cows, and even chickens can live in the forest. Your forest systems with silo pasture or agroforestry can deliver additional products. Raise timber, quality hunting land, or wildlife habitat in the same areas livestock periodically visit. When you understand these approaches you get more from every acre. This really boils down to your connection with land. To steward or curate you need education. That starts with practical experience.

Save that for a rainy day. Doing this the right way means everyday enjoying your property. Get outside, get active, and engage the land in a meaningful way.

Have the balls to design for humans rather than consumer goods. Unless you are a landscaper by trade, you are likely using string trimmers and leaf blowers the wrong way. These devices are sold by challenging your manhood, yet make you look weak. Do this to never blow another leaf, yet have your yard leafless. Do this to eliminate the need to string trim. You can have a lawn and still be holistic. While I’d rather you have a pasture, you don’t have to make so much noise and cause distraction to have grass. This approach reduces the time you are working for big box stores. You’ll spend more time with your family enjoying your small farm or homestead. Today’s episode has advice that works for suburban and urban spaces as well. Throw away your string trimmer and leaf blower, you don’t need them. Want practical tips on managing or starting your homestead? You’re in the right place.

According to a National Health Survey, in 2021, 5.9% of adults aged 18 and over livered in families experience food insecurity. Such studies are misleading. Yet useful government lies to increase food subsidy programs. I'm sure this episode will be fact check because the media is in on it.Remember, carrots don't advertise, neither do potatoes. But the food industrial complex does. So do fast food chains and grocery stores.Using statistics in this way is a form of government control to consolidate power. It also feeds large corporate food manufacturers propaganda to push processed solutions.Don't take my word for it, John Stossel recently covered big government distractions around food insecurity claims, https://youtu.be/es614SrcbhII also cover how we define "Food Security" and why that is important.

An excerpt from a permaculture design energy audit discussion. Your feeling of room temperature is situational. Save energy by setting your thermostat higher and spending more time outside.Energy Star recommendations are to set your thermostat at 78 degrees for air conditioning and 70 degrees for heat. This setting saves households $2,200 a year.I prefer cooler temperatures, so I set my thermostat to 68 degrees in the winter. Yet, my body adapts to higher temperatures in the summer. As a result, my HVAC turns on due to home efficiencies.You can do more to have a comfortable home with insulation, airflow, and solar aspects than HVAC alone.
