The recent COVID chaos made me realize that people are unprepared for worst case scenarios and lack access to the most basic things like food and grocery.
If the virus had been a lot more deadlier than its 3% death rate right now.....everyone would have shit their pants
Would you give up your city life to move to the suburbs and build a cheap 1-2 acre Farmhouse/homestead where you can grow your own veggies and meat and live off the grid?
Has anyone done this already if so share your feedback?
Imagine eating veggies. Raw eggs, meat, milk, honey and fruits is all you need user. Death rate is much lower than 3% btw
oh you're still in that edgy "hurrr i just discovered the carnivore diet"-phase?
how cute. let us know when you've grown up, yes?
>carnivore
>honey and fruits, sometimes maple syrup and rice
like i care what specific flavor of retard you are.
most carnivores include honey (as it technically comes from an animal), and all people obsessed with diet (all people in either the vegan or carni cult) are hypocrites.
if you unironically do not eat mostly harmless veggies but promote fructose then you are completely fucking retarded
In case anyone is wondering this image is from the book The New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency by John Seymour; his writings about starting a homestead/autobiography (The Fat of the Land) is also a great book.
I plan on becoming self sufficient when I am able to afford land. John Seymour's book on self sufficiency is pretty good. My biggest source of food would be eggs and milk with some plants. I think a cow is a bit too hard as a beginner so I was thinking about sheeps for milk instead of cows. Has anyone here have experience with keeping sheeps for milk? And has anyone tried raw sheeps milk?
aren't goats the better choice for this?
even though goat milk has a harsh smell to it
I've no experience with keeping animals but chickens/ducks seem pretty easy. Once you get used to smaller animals then cows and bigger livestock would probably be manageable. You do just have to just take the leap I think.
Goats are hardier I think, but they don't produce as much manure (or milk) which is essential for improving soils and maintaining fertility levels for your plants (which you will then feed back to the animals).
Goats are too aggressive, it's a hassle to keep them on their plot and if they escape they will totally destroy your garden.
