RE: The Beginnings! Our Homesteading Journal: Entry #1
First, a very warm welcome to homsteading life... yeah blood sweat rears and all that is what it takes but it's also so much fun building a life of self reliance and abundance!
You're on the right path with this:
we spread our intentions and energies outward, there is so much abundance, so much out there for us to find as resources, friendship, and sharing of information and goods.
And more will come.
So happy for you 😁.
Thanks @senorcoconut! We are excited and especially jazzed to be learning new skills and more about ourselves as we take on this challenge!
When brainstorming yesterday, we really tried to work from the angle of where we find truth, where we find passion first and foremost, and then hit the topics of necessity later. It really helped us figure out why we are so drawn to this lifestyle, and was super encouraging.
Thanks for the warm welcome, we are looking forward to connecting with people on all things diy, all things homesteading!
It's such an amazing journey. The more you open yourself to learning and meeting like minded folks the more your passion and purpose get fine tuned, and of cpurse the more you will attract the connections that will help.
I can't wait for the next journal entry. I just told my wife about your brainstorming, she liked it and we are going to do it on paper too!
Have you looked into the GiS data and maps for the county you'll be looking for land in?
Not yet! I started looking at water table information last night but a lot of it I didn't understand tbh.
We also aren't decided on the area we'd like to stay. We have a fair amount of exploring ahead of us. 😊 Which is great for us because exploring new places and talking to strangers are enjoyable hobbies for us both haha.
We know we would love to have a stream on our property, as Colorado is pretty dry much of the year and we know we will primarily run in to water struggles here if we don't choose our land well. Or maybe something near a river, but again, in Colorado that will mean living in a canyon or valley which limits where we can choose and then of course land prices go up as well.
So yah! Surveying is one priority for us now, but have not yet done online research. Any tools you have or links to share I'd love to have them!
Thanks Mr nut, glad you guys are thinking about working things out on paper. It taps in to the subconscious and can access things you may not have (consciously) thought of before!
