most interesting stuff . I must say until steemit i had no idea on the wide spread the homesteading culture has. It's great to see people turn away from whatever is shoved down their throats while slaving for it. Then again, i suppose its not really that easy anywhere. In Hellgium here, for instance if you were to build your own powerwall with solar panels and get the electricity directly instead of pushing it on "the net" first it would actually be illegal ... if i want a simple windmill to generate, even if i live on a house on top of a hill here and it would be most logical AND green thing to do ... it's illegal because i dont have permits and if i produce my own i'm considered a "provider" for which i need a license, which (ofcourse) will be completely unaffordable for anyone but mass producers like the utility companies ...
slowly the place crumbles under its own paper weight but nationalism helps to keep the plebs divided enough pointing fingers at each other (i dont consider it a demeaning term, its simply a one word way of expressing what i mean).
Growing and all that, i bet laws on food and what not would prevent a lot of it ... i'm not really a lawyer, certainly not a legalist. I think paper law is written to protect those who wrote it mainly. And sed lex isnt very dura lex since it depends on who your daddy is when you get a ruling lol.
(putting electricity on "the grid" means automatically paying 21% VAT plus a score of extra costs for administration, usage, transport and bla , in reality this bring an electricity bill to about 30% price for electricity and the rest goes stateside :)

the land of no-portunity ... that and i dont there's really room here. I've had my eye on Mongolia for years but getting out of hell ?

it's a long, hard road ...
