Everyone has their own little 'cause'. this is mine. To me, the idea of homesteading, what I do here, where I am, and why I bought rural land in the first place, and why I have spent so many years reading this list; is as much about freedom as anything else.
I am over halfway through life, maybe well over half way. I want a couple of things out of my future. One is to be involved with the land and water and stuff ( I hate to say "nature, because I would sound like a d*mn tie-dyed hippie). I really get joy from watching things grow, and growing my own food; even what I do here. That is a very simple goal for my future.
The other big part and goal if for everyone that I don't specifically invite to be a part of my life -- in any way-- to leave me the h*ll alone, for as long as I'm still breathing. I'll return the favor by not bothering them. That includes any corporate or gov't entity.
Maybe I won't figure a way to reach the best of either or both of those goals. But, they remain my goals.
