Homestead Basics

I just finished a conversation with a friend that I found disturbing and thought I would share.
Due to the economy he has decided to purchase land and build a bunker. He stated he wanted to be like me. Just for the record, we are not “bunker” people! We are prepared homesteaders, there is a difference. [...]

We brought some wood from our Missouri Homestead with us, but that wasnt enough. Most of it being oak was sure nice as that is not near as common here in Colorado.

Here are just a few pics of our new homestead in Colorado. We miss Missouri very much, but are happy to be back in CO.

Here on the homestead we have had several power outages. More than I am used to, and more than I think should happen. So I went on a search for a backup system for our home. That is when I came across this article on how to build your own uninterruptible power supply and thought it might be helpful to others out there looking for the same thing.

Heather Marie spotted this beautiful little fawn right outside our covered porch on the side of the house. It couldnt have been more than 30 yards from the house. She grabbed the camera and smapped a few.

Upon moving into our new Homestead, we noticed a couple of trees down. I absolutly did not want them to go to waste, so one of our first chores was cutting them up and having our own winter wood supply.
