So you think you want to be off grid and try the homesteading thing. I highly suggest you test it before jumping all in. People often fall in love with the idea of it and all too often fail. The average time people last is 3 months. So before you buy land and jump all in, test it out. Research, research and more research!! But also get hands on. Find a homesteader and offer to help out and test the water. See if your really cut out for it. People tend to forget what it actually means to not have running water or electricity or simply don’t know and don’t realize all the things that effects. If your not adaptable, if you like pampered and luxurious things or if bugs, blood and being on the ground or in the woods makes you cringe, then your on the wrong path. It’s ok to like camping but not want to homestead. At the end of the day most people realize they want to go home and continue having all those things people take for granted every single day. So learn this about yourself before you move forward, that’s my best and first advice to anyone who thinks they want to homestead off grid. Also learn what that means and what it entails. It’s a lot more than going to the bathroom in a bucket in the woods.
