Matter of fact, you should take a hard look at your chainsaws and resulting logistics train (spare parts, extra bar, extra chains, files, preserved fuel, fuel mix, bar/chain oil, etc.) after watching this once you realize that you could put up as much wood in probably a DAY that it would take a WEEK or more to put up with hand tools! I'm all for learning these skills and we practice a lot of these skills regularly, but I also think it's important to stockpile a pile of cheap soap (Ivory 16 bars $3.). Make soap by yourself from scratch- not from a kit- one time and you'll want to go out and ...

Homesteading (1): Introduction

Ivan and Magda built their house on Magda's Polish grand-parents old farm. The land had been abandoned for 15 years and they have steadily been re-claiming it in order to lead a life of partial self-sufficiency with their two young children during the spring/summer months in Poland. In this introductory video Ivan talks through their vegetable garden. Advice will follow in subsequent videos about following the path to a self-sufficient lifestyle!
