Is anyone up for an experiment?

I would like to see homestead list members challenge themselves with, say, a
100 Thing List just for us -
with parameters of, for, example - 90% sustainability / self-reliance on a
five acre plot for a family of four - 2 adults and two children.


This is tough, I used 4 different hammers this week. 16oz claw hammer, 3# deadblow, 5# hammer, and small ballpeen. I used a standard spade, a flat shovel and one of those small garden hand shovels and a broom. Oh ya, I used a flashlight the other day
In the FWIW department I usually use 2 pairs of pants each week (dirty stuff and town), at least one tee shirt, underwear and sox everyday. I keep my pants up with a belt. I shave, deal with the teeth, brush my hair and all that.

18 items listed here and I'm at a computer right now.

Life down to 100 items? Doesn't sound like a fun game to me.
