What separates the truly disciplined from everyone else? Everybody can adhere to a discipline while everything's fine and dandy, and nothing unpredictable happens. But, a truly disciplined person knows that the real test of discipline is sticking to it when everything goes to

Five feet of palisade a day keeps livestock robbers at bay! The locals probably think we're a bit crazy (more so than they already do) when they pass by our farm and see that we're fortifying it like a medieval military encampment. Well, they can think whatever they want — we're

Did you know you can just move somewhere where land is cheap, grow crops and raise livestock the old-fashioned way, drink water from your own well, build fires with your own wood, never have to work a job again, and no one can stop you?

Self-Sufficiency Challenge, day 48. Happy with this year's onion harvest - we have more than enough to last us until spring. Onions are a great survival crop - they're easy to grow, they repel pests, and, at 40 kcal per 100 g, they're pretty nutritious too. Grow less lettuce

This is actually the same type of woman, but most of you aren't ready for this conversation. The reason men often claim finding a tough woman to tame land with is impossible is that they're selecting for the wrong traits. Men who know, on the other hand, see desirable qualities

SELF-SUFFICIENCY CHALLENGE OVER After eight full months of religiously eating only what we produced or foraged ourselves, a chance encounter with a fellow shepherd during my daily grazing walk sparked a conversation that forced us to radically reassess our priorities. I was

Really surprised by the replies to this post. Apparently, lots of folks have an outright HOSTILE reaction to the idea of a non-hierarchical marriage. I don't think all those guys fantasizing about highly unequal marriages — with some even saying the husband should be the wife's

I don't understand how hierarchical marriages work. There's a lot of talk on trad Twitter about a submissive wife and an authoritarian husband being the ideal marriage model, and honestly, I can't imagine how this kind of power dynamic could survive in a happy marriage,

Homesteading doesn't really work if you don't go full retard. You know why so many homesteads fail? It's a really obvious issue, but no one talks about it. The problem is chickens. More precisely, the "start with some chickens" approach to homesteading. DON'T start with

Very disappointed in this platform. As some of you know, yesterday we shared a post with a picture of my wife holding a processed lamb carcass, accompanied by the text: "Who controls your food supply, controls you. Grow your own food." The post was successful, the feedback

I know Americans are all about beef, but let me tell you — you folks are really missing out on mutton! It is time for the new generation of farmers to bring American sheep husbandry back to its former glory!

"Your farm looks too nice! Real farms don't look like that! You are clearly just LARPing!" What these haters fail to understand is that a lot of modern farms tend to be a bit of an eyesore simply because of their heavy reliance on synthetic building materials. Natural materials

Some people get mad at me when I say I couldn't keep my farm running without my wife — they think I'm embellishing to push some kind of feminist agenda. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yes, when it comes to traditional farmwork, a man can do everything a woman can, but
