hmmm. i don't qualify for the true 'homestead' definition yet. but i sure 
feel like i'm doing okay 'surviving' the ice storm induced power outage. it's 
a short term situation, which is how i term 'survival'. i'm using skills i 
learned on my quest to 'homesteading' to do it. why are we concerned with 
whether a person wants to know how to tie good knots or grow their own food 
for 'survival' or for 'homesteading' reasons??? i've lost track of that whole 
thread with all the bickering over the definition. my own situation can't be 
pigeon-holed very easily, and i'm sure most others can't be either. if for 
some reason  my power never returns, i think i can survive long enough to 
become a true homesteader, though.
