@belovedcabin: You don’t need a lot of money to live like this. We didn’t build this all at once… it was land searching, then small shelter… then water, power… one piece at a time. If you’re trying to do something similar, here’s what actually matters: • Start before you feel ready • Get your basics first: shelter, water, power • Don’t go into debt trying to make it perfect • Learn as you go… you’ll figure it out faster than you think • Always have backups (power, water, food) This life didn’t come easy… but it also didn’t happen overnight. We don’t make much… but we’ve got everything we actually need… peace, freedom, and a loving home.
