Deciding to become a homesteader, or even to embrace a greater level of self-sufficiency is a huge decision.

Jumping into it without thinking through as many aspects of the decision as you can is a recipe for disaster!

There is nothing worse than going “hole-hog” into homesteading and discovering that a lot was forgotten, overlooked, ignored or unanticipated.

While no one has ever thought of “everything,” just neglecting a few things can cause great harm to your efforts figuratively and literally.

Fortunately, for someone considering homesteading or just more of a survival oriented lifestyle, there is 140 years of homesteading experience, successes, mistakes and advice amassed in the United States alone!

Because of that, it is all but impossible to commit a “new” error when venturing down this road – someone before you has done it and probably lots of times!

The best place to start with the basics and on the next page, we cover some of that advice.
