I’ve been curious about the homesteading movement for a long time, albeit from a non-tradwife perspective. For a few years I subscribed to Mother Earth News, whose pages of solar panel installations and gardening tips filled my head with pastoral fantasies. (It’s possible that growing up in rural Pennsylvania planted a seed of affection for farm life, even though I suspect I would be terrible at it.) So I have nothing against people who decide to abandon the corporate world, or soulless suburbs, to live close to the land. I’m just not so into oppressive gender roles and unpasteurized milk.
My neighbors are homesteaders, but not the type you see online. It’s work at first but honestly the benefits are awesome once they got the ball rolling
They do a lot of gardening, have chickens, apple trees and just built a small sawmill to make and store lumber. I buy eggs and firewood off of them
It seems that a lot of the real hardcore lifestyle people don’t spend half of their day filming and posting about it
You should film them and profit off of it
