From City to Homesteader - Lessons Learned

Guest Blogger 

Niki and Howard went from City to Homesteader, built their own home and are becoming wise in preparedness from their direct experiences. I've asked them to contribute from time to time on what they have learned and are learning, and as they say "what we would do differently, or better, and creating a better set of circumstances in our preparedness".

 

Thank you Louise, for your blog! It is a wonderful effort!

We are living up on a mountain, in the inland northwest, near the Canadian border, in an "earth sheltered, off the grid -abode." Whew! In fact, synchronicity being what it is, when we were moving here, we stopped to read a public billboard, something from the bible; then posted next to it was something familiar, inviting even- and after checking at home, I discovered it was from Ramtha's White book! Another talisman on our path...While building, we met two other Masters on the same mountain, and heard of two more in this tiny town!

We built our home and continue making known the unknown. We are earth covered and have a thick rebar & cement roof, but the front is open to some degree, with earth-berming completed with cement planters. The learning curve expands exponentially. It is an ongoing effort, as the building and storage has changed where and how we do things. New information also changes some of the previous efforts, such as water storage.

From City to Homesteader!  Had we been in a community, we would have spread out the preparedness, with others focusing on things we hadn't yet discovered a talent for, or going together on larger tools. As it is, we are now getting neighbors who have some preparedness skills, but are preparing for their idea of Armageddon. Our lesson here is patience and non-judgment of other people being God too. 

While we may not be as experienced as many, we do have a lot of determination and want to share our experiences with others who may benefit on topics such as, water storage, canning, firewood, gardening.........

Love and bright Blessings! 

Onward!

Niki & Howard
