Why Don’t More People Homestead?
Ever wonder why more people don’t choose this path? Homesteading offers deep rewards—connection to land, food, meaning, resilience. And yet... most people run the other way. Why? Because modern culture doesn’t prioritize resilience. It prioritizes comfort, convenience, and efficiency—at all costs. It’s easier to tap a screen and get groceries in 20 minutes than to grow a tomato. Easier to blast the A/C than to insulate with intention. Easier to numb out than to dig in—literally and figuratively. But here’s the thing no one talks about: Comfort is fragile. Efficiency without soul is empty. Homesteading isn’t easy. It asks a lot of you. But it gives you something that modern life rarely does: meaning. Not abstract meaning. Real, gritty, hands-in-the-soil, feeding-your-family, earning-your-heat kind of meaning. The kind that can't be bought on Amazon. Most people avoid homesteading because they’ve been trained to outsource their needs—food, energy, even their sense of purpose. But those of us walking this path… we know. There’s freedom in the work. There’s joy in the slowness. And there’s strength in choosing resilience over convenience. Let’s talk: What was the biggest mindset shift for you when stepping into this life? What keeps you going when the path gets hard? 👇 Share your story. Let’s inspire the next wave.

Couldn’t agree more. 32 years ranch life with solar power and no utilites. Brushhogged 4-500 acres 20 years ago. SO in need of improvements for livestock and habitat for elk.
