Sustainable Living Skills You Need to Survive
It might not seem so serious to the average consumer in the First World, but the future of the world as we know hangs in the balance. The media is full of bad news that can make changing things for the better seem hopeless, but there are simple and radical things you can do to reduce your impact and set an example for others. It's not just a choice, our survival depends on it.

Intercropping Staple Crops in a Vineyard! Does it Work?
Last season a major goal of mine was to plant more staple crops for food. In past years, I’ve intercropped vegetables in my vineyard, but this time I decided to try dry beans, since they are a great staple, they’re easy to grow in large amounts, and they can be low growing, which is important to maintaining good air flow in the vineyard. Some of my upcoming videos are going to be showing you how this experiment went in the vineyard.

Homesteading in a Tiny House | More Produce in Less Space
One of the big challenges to living in a tiny house and wanting to homestead is the limited storage space for your produce. You have to move your harvest through your tiny space and find room for it during peak harvest times. This usually means your home is a constant staging area for processing your harvest. My home is no different.

For Self Sufficiency Should You Grow Vegetables or Staples?
This season I focused a lot more on staples in my garden. Staples are what I eat mostly, and vegetables only provide supplemental nutrients. They’re kind of like the condiment for the staple crops. So, although staples are fairly cheap to buy compared to fresh or processed vegetables, they make up much more of what keeps you going, so I want them in my garden.

Combining Wild Foraging and Homesteading in an Ecovillage
Living more self sufficiently isn’t always just about growing your own food, it’s about foraging as much of your food as possible, too. Foraged food is the easiest to get and the least work to produce. In fact it only requires the work of gathering.
In this video I combine wild foraging fish from our pond with homemade homestead raised raw ingredients to make a fish dip. I also give an update on early season tasks and the effort to grow as much of my own food as I can.

How I Prep for a Season of Homesteading
Sometimes the most vital part of the season is prepping for it. If you don’t plan well and line up everything just right you won’t have much to show for it at the end of the season.

How Close Am I to 100% Food Self-Sufficiency?
My goal has always been to grow as much of my food as possible and make as much of my food from scratch using simple ingredients. Not only is this more sustainable, but I know exactly where my food comes from and what went into producing it. In this video, I give an overview of what portion of my food I’m able to produce myself and what I have to buy from the wider economy. I can’t say I know exactly what percentage of my food I grow, but it’s a lot, and I try to increase the percentage with every new season. #FoodSelfSufficiency #LocalFood #SustainableLiving #SelfSufficiency
