Welcome back to Backwoods Living!
We have always been here, just been busting hard on striving to move forward. But of course, forward can mean a lot of steps in the reverse. By this, I mean failures. For us, any success always accompanies two or three failures of every project we endeavor to perform.
Times are hard and I think it will become a little more difficult to move that hard-earned dollar forward to a self-sufficient lifestyle. Fuel, animal feed and people food are growing in the cost to maintain a household. Animals are darn near a profit lost unless you live near an urban center in which you can move the protein directly.
So what are we up to? Follow along at what we are attempting. Laugh at us, console at our failures or snicker, comment on what we are doing.
This past year has seen a lot of changes on what our approach has been. Natural gas has been discovered in these them hills. Of course, if our own water well had not been vented, it would have blown the cap long ago.
Gas money, are we going to see it? Yeah right!! I can only dream. Read about our escapades with the gas line easement and you tell me.
Simple times are far-gone, can we go back? No!
But we can learn on how our Grandparents did things and now apply a new technological view on the techniques.
Every one is now going green, now that green is in. I always thought green was the leaves and plants that we created our substances from?
Every so often we hope to fill this home page with a new idea of our direction. Not that our direction has ever changed, only our adaptation to the approach. Kat and I have been on this path for the past twenty-five years.
Take your time; learn from our successes and definitely from our failures.
