Mr. Salatin, you would be welcome to visit in Northern Ireland... We have started the homesteading movement here too! Great advice! I'm in Northern Ireland for 17 years and last year I moved from 0.2 of an acre with a 1000 sq foot 3 bedroom house (running water and electricity of course) to a 4.5 acre parcel of raw land. No house, running water, nor electric...but planning permission to build, in march 2023. First 2 months I lived in a 5 berth trailer, with a puppy, 3 cats, 4 hens in their coop. In May I got a 280 sq ft insulated 1 room shed. I've been here a year carting water from the well, having a separate outhouse and cooking on a camp stove (now a 2 ring gas cooker/stove). It has a wood burning stove for heat, I have less cats, more chickens and roosters, and big dreams.. Job stayed the same, moved away from friends, and made new friends. I'm 3 miles away from town (19 miles from work only 4 days a week) it's a hard slog doing it alone but I'm living my best life. On my terms. I have to be easy on myself as I always feel I should be further ahead than I am but I'm doing well with food forest, veges, eggs and chickens. I couldn't be happier. My homestead is ACORN homestead please join me if you wish

I live in Missouri and in the last 5 years people from CA and WA have come in and driven our land prices up to the point we locals can't afford it on our wages then they fail and want a huge profit on a failed endeavor. We have 23 acres we are developing.

It’s nice living far away from civilization to gain peace, quiet, & safety but the downside is that it takes 45 minutes both ways to run errands.

If you're mostly self sufficient then it doesn't matter

I have zero debt going on 12 years, i live boat, float plane and sled access only 4 years now. Parallel Societies is The only SOLUTIONS.

Your neighbors are your co-op. You can pay your neighbor way more for hay cause you dont have labor and $$$fuel$$$ hauling it in.

[@Trapphausmusic]

Often if land isn’t being farmed there’s a reason for that as Joel has mentioned on his podcast.

[@Andrew-sanders]

I can go from wet okla to Arizona desert to 10k feet in Colorado. But very few have that knowledge. You want to homestead you really need to do as he says.

Thanks Joel!!!

[@andrewrivera4609]

EXCELENT JOEL !!!!! MOST HELPFULL, THANK YOU.

[@tomaszbara8400]

But isn't it hard to set up living on a rented acreage? Probably my house would be far away on my private land, and i'd have to commute to my farm every day. Or you think it's possible to build a house on the rented field?

Thank you
