It means different things to different people. I like the term self
sufficient better for what I do. I strived for self suffiency when I
lived in the city. Now I live on 35 acres in Virginia. My location
enables me to be more self sufficient. I like to think that I can get
by without outside input.

Right now there is a lot more outside input needed than I'd like. I
don't think that there is one definition of a "homesteader" and yes,
you can be a homesteader by degrees.
