Here's What I've Been Reading and Thinking About This Week
Â
How was your week?
This week was pretty busy in The OP world. We launched Erica Nygaard's
new book,  The Dirty Truth About How to Start Homesteading: The Real
Deal Guide to Food Production for Anyone, Anywhere.
It's off to a great start and a warm reception from you guys, and if you
haven't gotten your copy I'll tell you a little more about it later in
this message.
Selco, Toby, and I all took part in filming a documentary. I can't tell
you the details until Tuesday but BE ON THE LOOKOUT for my email so you
can get the opportunity to view it for free. Sometimes when you film,
you feel like "These folks are going to make me look crazy." None of us
have that feeling and we think it's going to be great.
I've added some pictures here of my muddy Jeep (I always think they look
better with mud on the sides - no pavement princess here), a delicious
restaurant meal with local sea bass and a whole bunch of carbs, and the
fruiteria that I will miss greatly when I leave. Interestingly, the
produce at the grocery stores here is awful but the stuff at the stands
is just luscious. Also - just randomly, I found a sand dollar. I often
find bits and pieces but rarely a whole one.
I'll be hitting the road again soon so I've been spending some time
packing, paring down, and adding. When all your stuff has to fit into
your jeep, it really helps you strongly consider what you actually need
and what you don't. I have some local friends I'll be passing stuff off
to that just isn't worth the cargo space.
Sometimes paring down can be good for all of us, even preppers. I know
we like redundancies, but it's also important to be able to find items
that multitask and to be able to move quickly and somewhat lightly in
certain situations. As Selco wrote long ago, you need to be adaptable
enough to be able to leave everything behind and still survive
.
The past couple of years living minimally have really helped me with
that aspect of my preparedness. As I move on to my next location, where
I plan to stay a little longer than usual, I hope to be able to adhere
to this approach.

HOW ARE YOU DOING? REALLY?
Quite a few folks I know are truly struggling right now. What with the
changes in the world, the economy, personal loss...it's a LOT.
Our very own Toby Cowern took part in one of the best podcasts
I've listened to in quite a while about connecting with nature for your
mental health. It's very, very good information for those who may be
feeling overwhelmed or for those who just want to be more in tune with
the natural world.

HOW ANYONE, ANYWHERE, CAN HOMESTEAD
The Dirty Truth About How to Start Homesteading
If 2020 taught us any lessons, it was that our supply chain is
incredibly vulnerable and our grocery stores' just-in-time
merchandising strategy would not hold up in an emergency. We watched
food be rationed (only 2 per customer), people searching high and low
for toilet paper, and more and more bare spots on store shelves.
If you aren't producing at least some of your own supplies, it's
time to get started. Nobody expects you to completely live off the land,
but imagine you are in a situation where your entire family is allotted
a certain quantity of one item and that's it. The things you produce
yourself can elevate that item into a full, nutritious meal.
In this book, Erica provides us with easy-to-implement advice that
anyone can use to get started with a small homestead of their own. No
matter who you are or where you live, you'll find many actionable
ideas on producing food. She's also honest about the downside of
homesteading - it's not all country sunsets and happy hens.
You'll love Erica's down-to-earth, common-sense writing style. She
breaks things down into manageable steps so that you don't find
yourself overwhelmed.
The first meal you serve that came from your own little homestead will
be the best food you ever tasted.
