Living Simple and Off The Grid

I got some good news today from my partner. He was approved for his VA disability for 70% after 2 tours to Iraq. That has to ease his money fears as we move forward. We talked today about him making a trip up from Georgia soon to scout for available land. Im sure we will need owner finance. In the Ozarks so I can stay close to my 10 yr old daughter. 5 acres of unrestricted land with access. My current attorney says my case is looking good but as always no guarantees. I only hope to have enough income for property taxes and child support to keep the feds off me lol. We will be raising chickens, 2 hogs, couple goats, and doing raised bed gardening. Once the land is purchased we will start on shelters. Stay tuned.

Its getting closer to time to purchase our land. Ive been searching high and low in the southwest Missouri area from Newton county to Mcdonald County and locations between there and Springfield MO to the south. Heart of the Ozarks where I grew up . Ive ran across land from $2500 an acre to $6000 an acre. Ive found flat plains land and rugged mountainous terrain. Some with streams , ponds etc. I need to coordinate with my partner to see how many acres he is wanting . Until I get my VA straightened out Ill be on limited funds. He will have an Army pension and possible disability. We plan on working the land for food and raising chickens. Possibly rabbits as well. We will however be making monthly trips to the store in the nearest town for necessities. Solar is on our agenda to defeat the giant electric company monopoly . We will be in touch about our land options with pictures soon. Also if anyone knows about the company BillyLand.com could you contact me? Thanks until next time folks.

4 Common Mistakes That Organic Gardeners Make

Check this video out. You dont have to move to change.

The Great Recession and the Housing crisis of 08 have left alot of people without their homes, some penniless. People from small to medium cities everywhere have resorted to downsizing. I have seen countless families downsized to their RV or Camper. To building small cabins in the local hills. What started as a struggle has led to a revolution of people who now love their lives. Their stress is gone. They grow gardens , hunt , fish, can food and basically have become healthier mind ,body, soul! Homesteading lifestyles have returned and people realize even though hard work it is a wonderful life renewal. Electric bill? Why the sun supplies all the power you will ever need. Mortgage ? Who needs that. Pesticide filled foods in the big box stores, plastics and high fructose corn syrup slowly killing you. Go organic or as our grandparents called it FOOD! Join us on a journey to HAPPINESS!
