How Feasible Is It To Start A Homestead With Next To Nothing (But Experience) These Days?
Hey all,
27f here. I currently work at a dead-end office job, but have been dreaming about homesteading for years. I have experience gardening (vegetables, herbs, and flowers), taking care of my parent's livestock (chickens, goats, and bees), composting/worm farming, hiking, camping, some foraging knowledge, a bit of construction (assisted in building the chicken coop, greenhouse, and back deck), cooking from scratch, storing food & water, splitting firewood, landscaping, and I have some medical knowledge. I've watched a lot of homesteading videos over the years, so I feel like I know a bit of what to expect (and, most importantly, that it's not at ALL easy), but I'm curious how everyone started out. I want to know what it takes to finally just do it! Would I need a lot saved up beforehand, or is this just a silly pipedream nowadays, considering I don't currently have a lot saved up? Also, what do you all do for work? Thank you so much in advance!! :)
