    Homeless to Homesteader. Anyone here successfully make the transition?

    Here it is nearly a year later since my response. We've moved out here. Grid tied, as it was cheaper to get electric ran than set up solar. Still hoping for solar some day. It's freakin cheap living. I guess technically we are squatting, since the land is not in our name yet, and the house...

    Homeless to Homesteader. Anyone here successfully make the transition?

    We are doing this now. Inherited some family land, 5 acres of unwanted earth in middle America. But hey, it was free and taxes are cheap in this state, like $100 a year for it. Have been working on it about 2 years now, slowly as funds allow. Didn't have a road or a house, but it did have...

    Complete Lifestyle Change

    Rubber Tramping Vehicle of Choice

    Just snagged an '83 Chevy G20 with 72k miles on her for $900. It could be 172k miles, I don't know. I do know she runs great! Switched the back swivel seats to the more-worn front ones, removed back bench. Threw in some milk crates, a cut down piece of plywood and threw a full sized mattress...

    Old dog in search of new tricks

    Thanks for the welcome! :) No idea where I'll be headed, yet. Originally planned on visiting all 50 states to spread some ashes, but that shit gets expensive. Rethinking that. About to sell something and it will be all the money I have in the world left. Want to hold on to as much as...

    Old dog in search of new tricks

    Hi all.. love the site! Am a student of knowledge, and this looks like a place with a wealth of information. A small bit about me, in my 40's, widowed, the blinders have come off and I buck the norm, always have. Wish to learn from you guys. I bought a van 6 months ago with the...
