I remember staying 8 months on a farm in a country town, it was all simple and easy, the only problem there was an idiot who talked bad about me behind my back, but other than that, it was amazing.

I was impressed how people who live in small farms do not work, they do small things, such as feeding animals, killing them and eating, sweeping, planting one plant other day another one, small repairs, etc.

Good food, almost no noise, no hassle, but make sure there are no individual sons of bitches there, for your own good.

God willing, I'm still going to get out of city and live on a small farm.

I live on a homestead-lite. Life is not easy. It’s a full time job taking care of animals and cleaning and feeding. If it’s not that, it’s trying to fix your toilet and it taking 4 days because the parts store is out of the parts and isn’t open on weekends.

Life is much easier in a city because there is no self sufficency. Farms and homesteads it’s all on you.

Wife wants a new faucet, figure out plumbing.

Wife wants new flooring, figure out how to do flooring by yourself.

Your truck broke down? Self diagnose. What’s that? It’s the alternator? Wait one week for the alternator to show up because it’s on back order. Install alternator. Didn’t fix the problem? Maybe it’s the ignition? Wait another week.

Farms and rural living is a series of fucks up that can never be fixed in a timely manner and it never ends.

Did your neighbors cat just abandon a week old kitten? Fuck! Should I kill it or stay up for the next two weeks hand feeding it?

You people have zero clue

Yep. I gave up the suburb life to create my homestead, there's a LOT of labor involved, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The people are nicer, you don't hear the hustle and bustle of traffic. Covid? No one out here really cares about that shit.

I'm not off the grid, but I'd like to think I have a decent way to feed my family should shit hit the fan.
