I have a Surly Moonlander, which is a fat tire snow bike...nearly five inch wide tires. She's a workout...

We've been watching various homesteader's youtube videos. Some surprisingly good, with some excellent information. Some are just meh...you'd think after homesteading here in our self built earth shelter, living hand to mouth for the first years...off grid with a hand pump and outhouse...from...

We both had a couple of false starts in the 70s...But when I met Cheryl in 1988, I knew it was going to last, she did too. She lived here with me with an outhouse and handpump from 89 to 2007, when I upgraded to indoor plumbing and a washer/dryer...still off grid, though. If she could put up...

They call that "chitting out" the potatoes...don't let them get too long, because the sprouts are fragile. Nothing going in the gardens here in the great white north until late March (greenhouse starts) and into late April...of course, every year is a surprise.

Looking forward to seeing that bright orb in the sky again sometime. Not much for solar gain these days. Batteries need an occasional boost here and at the cottage. Fortunately the Honda EU2000i can do it even on ecothrottle...fairly quiet. Light snowfall...just some flakes. Maybe 4" total...

Lazarus Long. Fortunately I have done and am still able to do all those things. I believe there's a lot more every human should be able to do, which involve food, water, shelter, heat, cool, clothing, etc.

Lodestar here. Was saddened when the old forum ended, and no substitute has been quite the change since. Still on the land, still keepin' on.
