Homesteading
& Self Reliance

Get back to basics
with low tech simple living

Welcome

Get back to basics, learn essential skills, and build resiliency into your life.

Anything you can do for yourself makes you more resilient.

Growing food, foraging, collecting rain water from your roof, learning to build and repair, using home remedies, reusing and re-purposing.

Your options are only limited by your imagination and determination.

Earlier generations were masters
of resourcefulness. We can be too!
