New name for the site? | General Homesteading Discussion | Forums

Ah well come on you guys know the answer.

It is easier for guys like me to post questions and pictures about a hobby such as shooting, than it is about things that require work, such as building or growing something.

One is a hobby that appeals to the nature of people, has a large marketing machine behind it, the other, well it requires work.

And all joking aside, must not change the approach and be careful with the name.

This is coming from a guy that eats out almost, well I mine as well say every meal.

The other day I woke up feeling a bit sick, not a problem, but balance was gone.

It hit me, I did not even have enough food or drinks in the fridge/cabinets to feed me that day.

How do you drive to the store or restaurant without your balance ?

You get the point.

Many households find themselves in a similar situation, although not quite as exaggerated or to the level as mine.

As food prices and energy costs increase (and as the level of service and quality in resturants steadily declines) the idea of preparing for TODAY/EVERYDAY is becoming more attractive. It just requires work.

More and more people have a small garden and a few chickens, admittely not as exciting as hearing about the next HK, but maybe one day it will be.

As for me, think I will start with a Costco card (excuse me, I mean uh hum Costco Membership) and try eating at home a bit.

seems like a natural balance: sustenance , shelter , and security are 3 primary tenets in homesteading/survival.
