Homesteading can seem like a good idea to many, but there are some things that you should consider ahead of time.
This was something that I considered long before we moved to Arkansas and began to work on our homesteading dream. Recently though, I have appreciated it all the more, so I thought that I would spontaneously shoot a video on it. It’s just me doing a random walk and talk on the situation.
HOMESTEADER HELPERS
BASIC IDEA
Basically, before you move into the middle of nowhere with no one around and get a bunch of animals, you may want to remember that there may be times in the future when you will want to leave for a bit. Maybe vacations, weddings, funerals, steemit meetups, or whatever.
If these trips take more than a day or two, there's a some pretty good chance that you may need someone to watch your animals for you. They may need to be fed, watered, milked, or tended to in some other way. Thankfully for us, we have @bluerthangreen & @allforthegood on the next property over, plus a lot of other great neighbors nearby.
I cover a lot more in the video (and sometimes I just randomly ramble) but your homestead is supposed to be blessing to you, and not a sentence of life without parole. If you are aware of this periodical need ahead of time, it just might help make your life and your homestead a lot more enjoyable once you get there.
