Hey Guys,
This is a free post where I’ll go over my plans for 2022 and why it’s so important to get back to the Natural Life!
So you’re in the gym every other day getting jacked. You’re probably in the top 10% of the population in at least one of these categories: IQ, Fitness, Autism, Wealth. But are you in the top 10% when it comes to being self reliant? Are you just like all of the other normies who get their groceries from the big store? That is fine, but you should be developing skills to source food directly from the source, and grow what you can on your own.
Why? You wouldn’t rely on a single source of income would you? So why are you relying on a single source of food? I know a lot of you live in an urban setting and do not have the means to start a homestead tomorrow. But you do have a phone in your hand and the ability to find local sources for your food and supplies. I’m trying to get you out of your comfort level just a little bit so that if there is an issue with the supply chains down the road, you’ll make it. Isn’t that what we all say, NGMI? Well let me tell you, if they can’t stock the shelves, some of you are NGMI!
Let me be clear, I’m not a doom and gloom guy. I honestly don’t believe there are going to be massive food supply chain issues in the near future. I sure hope we don’t have problems like we’ve seen in some third world countries. There are so many more reasons to source your own food from local suppliers than just because there may be shortages.
When you get your food from the local source, you’re getting naturally grown food that is much healthier for you and tastes better. You’re supporting local farmers who are struggling right now due to government regulation and rising feed prices. You’re also learning about the local food supply chain. You will meet people that you can network with, this is important later on if there are big problems.
There could also be some business opportunities that arise from the networks you build with local farmers and suppliers.
I know most of you guys are well off and are thinking, I’m not worried about saving a few pennies growing my own vegetables. That’s a valid point, to which I would respond, this is not about penny pinching. This is about learning valuable skills that most people don’t know. It’s about changing your mindset on where your food comes from. We’ve been fed a big ole pile of bull shit to be honest that you just go to the store and pick up a steak wrapped in plastic. You need to learn the back end on how every thing works, so that you can be prepared for anything.
Here is just a small list of what I plan to cover in my *paid* articles.
Paid Substack Topics:
GROW YOUR OWN FOOD SERIES - Learn how to get a basic outdoor garden set up and producing.
Indoor Growing Guide - Learn how to grow plants and vegetables indoors with window sill gardening and hydroponic style setups
Build Your Own Fences - Learn how to build strong livestock style fending from start to finish.
Beekeeping/Honey Production - Deep dive into the honey producing process. More detailed apiary information will come in the form of an ebook in the near future.
Dairy Goats - Everything you need to know about raising goats including dairy goats.
Chickens - Everything you need to know about raising chickens for meat production or egg production.
Sourcing Local Food and Supplies - Will do many deep dives into how you can find local sources for every day food items like eggs, milk, meat, and veggies straight from the farm.
Every day homestead problems and solutions will be covered and much more.
Subscribers to my paid substack are learning how to get a garden set up and ready to go in the spring. We’ll be growing fresh vegetables by middle of summer. This is a wealth of knowledge that everyone should at least try. When you start growing your own fruits and vegetable, you learn a skill that most do not know. But this is just the beginning.
We’ll also go over how to source local suppliers of beef, pork, eggs, milk, and more. I’ll walk you through how to get your local supplies from local farmers on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Once you have raw milk and fresh eggs, you’ll never go back. I’m supplying you with real raw wildflower honey already and hand made natural goat milk soap from the store. You’ve pretty much covered most of your basic grocery needs. Now all you have to do is stock up on beans and rice. You’re only grocery store items will be fruit and any junk food you choose to buy. See how this works?
I’m also going to cover lots of common homesteading topics. This spring, I’ll start building some more fences on my place, and I’ll cover each step so you can learn how to build your own fences one day. We’ll cover everything you need to know to build a high quality fence that will hold just about any type of animal. This way, you can get a small herd of goats, or maybe some cows and a pig. Building your own fences is a huge skill because you know they will be done right!
After we build our fences it will be time to plant some sugar cane, I’ll cover everything I do here to get a nice crop of sugar cane growing (hopefully) I’ve never done this before!
The point is, we are going to have fun learning how to take ownership of our food supply. These are short 5-8 paragraph articles emailed to you every week. You won’t be overwhelmed with the information, step by step we’ll walk through setting up a complete homestead. Hopefully by the time 2022 is drawing to a close, some of you will have your own source of eggs, milk, veggies, and maybe even be on your way to starting an apiary. I have no doubt you will be more self reliant, which is my vision for all of us in 2022.
