Strategies for Self Sufficient Living

In a modernized digital age, self-sufficient living might seem a step back into an old laidback world. Most would probably think that it would be impossible or such a difficult feat to achieve. We have grown dependent on modern technology and got accustomed to a comfortable and convenient lifestyle the digital age has brought us.

Fortunately, choosing to be self reliant or self sufficient can take on different forms for each person. You can grow your own food, provide your own energy, you can homeschool your kids, repair and sew things, be your own barber, raise some animals, or be a beekeeper among other things. The level of how self-sufficient you want to be solely depends on you.
