I knew what you were implying! I had to jump in both feet and do what I did because I had very few choices. I was simply saying take your time and make a plan and if you can find land the has a spot cleared already to start or you have the savings to be able to do what you need to do and what you need to get.

I guess I was trying to tell people that it is not as easy as many of the homesteaders that have been doing it make it look sometimes. Many do not show the struggle at the very beginning just after it is set up and things are less stressful. Many homesteaders on social media paint homesteading as a pretty picture and do not go into the details of the struggle it really is and how it is from the beginning. Many people look at that after you have been there a few years and say I can do that and it is not that way at the start.
