I can relate with a lot of this. Though I started homesteading without a solid place and moved it twice in the past year which was totally exhausting. You are blessed to have eachother on the journey, I made most of my strides on my own but have finally found my tribe and couldn't be happier ^_^ I sold video games to fund my offgrid endeavors haha. Was lucky to have been in that market whilst it was hot and did pretty well. Only made sense to turn my collection into solar since there would be no running gaming consoles off the grid. I look forward to the continuation of this post! Thanks for sharing :D
