Homesteading

The trick [to making a great first aid kit} is to include things that are either downright essential (bandages and gauze) or have a variety of uses (paracord). This will help you keep your kit tidy without losing out on effectiveness.

You don’t have to let the season, the size of your property, or your location stop you from growing your own food. You really can grow food all year, even in the heat of summer or the icy cold of winter.

If the off-grid way of life is calling to you, you already have an adventurous spirit. However, to succeed as a self-sufficient homesteader, you also need to learn these basic pioneer skills.
