[QUOTE="totoro, post: 214013, member: 3155"] We were close to it when I lived with my Bio-Dad for a couple of years. We grew almost all of our own food. Had pigs, cows, hens, pheasants. Hunted our own elk, deer, bear and moose. We had a well and we cut our own firewood for our wood burning stoves. The wood came off of our land. We gathered our own hay off of neighboring farms, had to buck it ourselves. We did purchase some things from the farmers market and as little as possible from the store. Step-Mom made pasta, bread, tortillas etc... It was pretty cool but very hard work. There are still quite a few people who homestead up in northern Idaho. A lot of the Mennonites still do up there. It is getting harder though. We had one friend who was trying to survive solely on homesteading his land... he ended up growing pot and selling it!!! Didn't last very long!!! [/QUOTE]
