Jenni is a member of the LFTN and TSP community living with Stage 2 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. While she introduced “The Word of The Year” to our community, she’s also exhibited her courage with being transparent and vulnerable in sharing her challenges and lessons she’s learned along the way.

Frugality Tip from Dan

My first tip is to have gorilla tape, wherever you go. If you have quality pens that you can replace the ink, wrap it with as much tape as is comfortable for writing, and keep it until you use it. You never know when some formally tape is the difference between driving home and getting towed, which is a big difference of time and money. Also, who knows what other problems can be fixed for long enough to replace or properly fix the issue. It has saved my butt.

Tales from the Prepper Pantry

  • Not planning to do the “in-person”  Autumn resupply until after SRF as a matter of tidiness
  • Dawn Gorham’s Tomatoes sparked an idea
  • Managed to get more dried tea
  • Zooming Out - A story from the network

    I don’t know how I missed this, but it autoplayed on the perfect day. Because of timing, I’m not the person that “has a failed rabbitry and I know who I am” because in August I hadn’t yet let myself acknowledge that I have a failed rabbitry. I didn’t know I was that person yet, so Nicole couldn’t have been talking right to me. Could she? 😬

    My mushroom gig has been On Point! But one of these pictures is not like the others.

    The reality of the gorgeous golden oysters with perfect Renaissance lighting is that I took the picture at midnight and that was the only clean spot on the counter.. correction, only clean surface in the kitchen.. further correction, only clean surface on the first floor of my house. >>>Zoom Out Wednesday

     

  • Crockpot chicken stew with backs and legs

Frugality Tip from Margot

Don't you hate it when you reach for that tube of glue and it all hardened and you can't squeeze any out, then you pop it with a pin and glue your fingers together. Yeah me too!!

 I now buy multi packs of small tubes of crazy glue (cheapest is the 4 pack at the dollar tree) or e6000 for ceramics and glass (cheapest I've seen this 4 pack is on Amazon, unless you got to JoAnn or Michaels with a coupon). The multi packs are usually the same price and you don't really cry when one of the little ones is hardened up, because you you have extra tubes.

  • Got top-quality, organic hay for the sheep at $5 a bale

Main topic of the Show: Defining Homesteading

You know what is outrageous? People telling other people that they are not “real” homesteaders for stupid reasons. Reasons like they do not have enough land. Or their barn is not cool enough. Or they don’t raise ALL their food from their land. Or they outsource butchering. Or they use electricity and are not off grid. 

There are many reasons WHY people attack fellow homesteaders for not being PURE. 

And it bleeds. It bleeds into the psyche. 

I have heard from some of the baddest assedest homesteaders that they “feel” like they are not really homesteading. I mean, we are talking people from whom I have learned to make sourdough, or a better way to compost. People who have GIFTED me seeds they saved.

People you probably follow.

THEY are starting to doubt if they are homesteady enough.

What is behind all this, anyway? I started digging through some comments that I found online about “real” homesteading and, not surprisingly, I found a bunch of accounts with few to no followers, no content, and probably run by the same person or small group of people. 

Guys, some people are just better and the best thing you can do for your future is learn to step around bitter people. And this means NOT taking on any emotional baggage from some rando on the internet telling you how you must define “real” homesteading.

It’s hard enough to keep all these heartbeats going without worrying about wether or not what we are doing is real.

So what is REAL homesteading - some things that have tapped into the homesteader’s spirit in the last 150 ish years? 

  • The Homestead Act perspective, 1862
  • Back to the land 1
  • Hobby farming
  • The slow march corporatization of food and farming makes small, family farms rarer
  • Small scale farming and back to the land 2 and 3
  • Backyard chickens, hippies, and organic food hipsters

The question is NOT are you or are you not a “REAL homesteader, but rather how are you tapping into the homesteading spirit?

  1. Do you work for your home or does your home work for you?
    1. Gain value from your environment while living in harmony with it
  2. Heritage SkillsGardens, food livestock, etc
