    I'm new, lost and don't know where to begin

    Great advice Bee. When I suggested not waiting on chickens, I guess I pesumed they would tend to necessities first. It's good if you to spell it out. Shelter, water, waste... electric. Good to see you Bee. I hope all is well. Gina

    I've seen lots of articles on rotational pastures. I dont know much about pigs though. Sounds kinda dangerousmoving them so much. I saw a documentary once where it was cows and chickens and greens. It worked amazing. Good luck. G

    Television opportunity for family seeking self-sufficiency

    I spoke back and forth with the OP a few times. Decided it was not for us. We ARE however in the middle of a great adventure. When the dust settles I will be back to fill in the blanks. I know some of my old friends are still here. Just so you know dreams do come true. Don't ever give up. Gina

    Hot Water?

    All great ideas but don't forget the obvious. Not all laundry needs to be washed hot. I lived in an rv for almost a year. My washer was connected to a garden hose. I have seen basic blue barrels as well as ones painted black. They hold a lot!! Fantastic news on the land. I wish you...
