For those of you who have followed us for some time and those of you who recently signed up, thanks very much.

If you have seen our post about relocation, that would be the reason we are not as active as we want to be. Our plan for several years has been to get out of CA, get some property and start a homestead. At the same time increasing our preparedness and self sufficiency, that time is now and we are jazzed about the prospects ahead.

We have been able to see our home here since this slight uptick in property values allowed a short window to sell, which we just finishing up now. We also found a home and 10 acres in Nevada at about 6,000ft altitude. That should finish the end of the month. So is all goes as planned, we will be living full time in Nevada Aug 1st.

We will then pickup our posts and articles to help all of us be better prepared and learn more about being self sufficient. Plans for the homestead include a fruit orchard, raised bed gardens, hoop house for extending the season and chickens.

Lots to do but we want to bring the things we encounter to the blog so that you can think about what you might be able to do yourself. Maybe you can learn through us and do it better if your thinking of the lifestyle.

Will be putting up some photos and anything you would like to know about this road we are taking, fell free to drop us a line. Lisa and I will both be adding to the blog.

More to come….
