  I can't think of a single problem in my day to day life that can't be solved with a cabin in the woods. Every time my wife comes to me with a problem I just say "cabin in the woods". The more she thinks about it, the closer we get to jumping ship.

  Might I add another one?<br><br>Clear conscience. If I am not feeding the beast I am no longer liable for the carnage it creates. I cant stop anyone else from feeding the beast. But i can and should withdraw my own support as much is as possible.

  At end 2025, I walked away from my EMS career, years of emotional &amp; physical pain gone. At 52 &amp; single woman, I am starting over. No retirement, no savings, credit card &amp; personal loan debit. I am slowly shifting to relearning the skills my grandparents &amp; parents taught me. I only wish I would have done this years ago.

  I&apos;m a single dad with 2 girls. I&apos;m stuck in a city in Florida . Over the last 2 years I&apos;ve sold everything except 2 guns. &nbsp;What I&apos;ve done though is gained skills. I can build a house, I can hook up multiple ways of power, filter water, build a fire multiple ways. I&apos;ve been growing food in buckets and saving seeds. When I was a kid my mom had a small farm so I already know how to raise chickens and rabbits. I have an interview today for a better paying job. Any extra money will go in to a separate account. &nbsp; <br>Tax return I will buy a camper. Hopefully already gutted. If not I&apos;ll do the work myself. Pallets are free. My plan is 1 more year saving. &nbsp;It&apos;s going to take a while to make money and grow food when I get on to the land. I want to have a small cushion.

  Man you called it! March of &apos;26 and diesel is $5.50/ gal. Grocery bill for 2 adults and 3 kids is through the roof. I heat with a wood burner cook with a gas range and electricity is $400/mo if you&apos;re lucky. It&apos;s disgusting! Politicians are the lowest form of scum.

  I say with all seriousness that this may be the most effective and persuasive video on this topic on YT.

  I&apos;m a country girl who has been stuck in the city after a house fire. I still own the acre where we lived, but I can&apos;t afford to rebuild right now. We now also own a house in the city outright. I&apos;m working on building my micro-homestead now. We&apos;re turning the front yard into a garden, planting berry bushes in the small sunny area in the back yard, getting quail and rabbits for meat. I want to get some solar panels to help cut our power bill. I&apos;m trying to make our family as self-sufficient as possible.
