@RehnSturm256 To grow your own food, to build your own house, you craft your cloths and furniture... These all seems like wonderful things to me xD

By comparison, I see very little value, or enjoyment to be had in the paradigm of hyper specialization.

And more fundamentally, there is no reason why you can't learn, and master all of these things yourself.

What I am finding again, and again, is that, everything is actually easy and simple, but every one wants to teach you lies about it, and present huge, costly barriers to entry.

My current projects, and are essentially green field projects, because the grandparents all died without passing anything on to the next generation.

But, it is obvious, that, a homestead and home library, could be brought to an easy to self sustain, easy to pass on level, within 1 generation.

However, it requires recognizing that the modern approaches, the things taught in colleges and universities, are mostly error. If you only stick to the main stream, even 200 years probably wouldn't be enough to build up a robust homestead.
