You sit on your ass browsing 4chan all day, you're too lazy to run a hobby farm.

Youd still need a small barn for diy stuff and animals to winter in

I have a large property but I the effort and money I have to put into turning it into some kind of homestead is probably not worth the pay off. Frankly, I don't see myself as having the motivation or interest to do any kind of homesteading. Only thing I've done is plant a bunch of fruits trees here and there and built a chicken house but I got no chickens yet.
I have a field but I rent out to my neighbor who uses it to make hay for his cattle

arkansas has fiber optic on every power pole, next excuse?

>>2864711
Fiber optic cables used for high-speed internet requires running cables underground, and that's extremely expensive to do in rural areas.

>t. live on 7 acres of forest in the woods with gigabit fiber.
The 450' or so up our driveway was only $500 to trench.

But barring that, Saaaaaarlink is actually pretty serviceable, we were getting 20ms ping times and decent throughput -- but that was a couple years ago, not sure if it's become more saturated and slower in the intervening period.

>>2864587
sorry, but you're going to be crammed into a dirty smelly city and have your soul extracted.

they are hung fiber optic on the powerlines, the power company now also offer internet, it was part of the covid stimulus bill. plus there is always starlink. next excuse? at least find a new one, you wont have time for the internet when you are living off the land.

>>2864716
Cost was zero dollars when my "neighbor" got internet hooked up.
They literally trenched my dirt road and threw the cable in the ground. They even bored under the pipe that drains the beaver pond. They ran about 2 miles of new line for him.

I was once travelling in oregon and entered into a freeway entrance that led me to this street with nothing but huge gates for what id assume were ranches. I didnt get to see them properly, since the driveway went uphill, but i could only imagine how nice the houses were. This looks like a very cozy set up.

>>2864587

I live this way. I love it. it feeds my body, mind and sovl. it is also grueling, stressful and it prevents us (married) from making full retirement contributions. we owe $74,500 on our mortgage and $75k on our land. total homestead is worth $350k. its a good investment; gotta have somewhere to live and it does feed us... but the market returns 12%-20% recently (pre-iraq). our mortgage is 5.12% 27yrs left and our land is at 1.5% 12yrs left. so you can see we chose the lower return by the numbers.

our electricity is $30-$50/mo because we have a DIY solar system with battery storage. no water hill, no sewage, no trash, and we only pay ~$225/yr in propane.

its not for everyone, but it works for us. there are better investments, but its about lifestyle and self-reliance for us.

Homesteading in tropical climates if for brownoids and LARPers.

Internet from a power company will always be shit.
>plus there is always starlink.
Extremely expensive for subpar service. Live in a cloudy or rainy area? Good luck staying connected.
> you wont have time for the internet when you are living off the land.
I agree. Many people "wishing" to live off the land are internet addicts who'll fold the moment they can't use their phone.

Where are you located? The conversation has been about Arkansas specifically.

>>2864587
Its called a servants quarters, you can't call them livestock areas anymore

>>2864746
it'll work out regardless when you are old, then you'll be set with a place, roof over your head, a hobby that isn't work and lotsa greens. what's not to love?

That house smells like a combination of chicken and goat shit and theres 5,000 flies in the kitchen during the summer.
The crops will rot on the vines because after their 8 hour shift and 2 hour commute they pick a few things by flashlight and then go play Xbox because farming is too grueling.

You don't own anything. You are LARPING as a land owner while being a slave to a jew. I'm gonna be laughing my ass off when the bank takes it all back from your whiny faggot ass.

describe your /out/ life. describe your property. describe the single family house that you live in. describe the land that you cultivate, raise livestock and build infrastructure on.

oh, and do it without bullshitting... because I do. see... i'm not and never have been an impulsive, financial retard. when my shit is paid off in a few years, my cost of existence, while not free due to government theft, will be infinitesimally small compared to your ever increasing rent on your 550sqft apartment. don't get robbed while you shuffle to the subway.

I'm saving all my money to buy land for a turtle and tortoise farm. I'll practice syntropic agriculture to improve the land and keep food costs down.

Built a mobile duck coop.

we keep 3 varieties: Muscovy, Harlequin & Silver Appleyards. we have 2 stationary/permanent duck coops. we built this one for the muscovys since they will wander off if allowed too much freedom & time. let's them forage and touch grass without destroying the ground. we just move it every other day. the Apples & Harleys just get let out to free range, they stay reliably close to home roost.
