    Homestead Manifesto: The Prepper and the Wild Woman                      

    We are here on this property for two main reasons. The first is to provide a safe place for friends and family to gather in an extreme emergency. The second is to live in true stewardship with the land as a part of nature; not separate from it.

    To be prepared to provide sustenance and shelter regardless of outside circumstances. This is solely contingent on our capabilities of self-reliance. We will learn enough to be able to live in abundance off of our land, with the expertise to train others to do the same. This demands adaptability and being able to modify quickly and use setbacks as an opportunity to fine tune our systems.

    To develop deep connection to the land as we live in harmony with the cycle of the seasons. This means to sustain ourselves through foraging, hunting, animal raising and gardening in mutual benefit. We will give more than we take and design our systems to support optimal ecosystem function. This requires an awareness of soil microbiota, water and air quality, species diversity, and many other aspects of balance and mutual respect.     

    To be self-sufficient is to fully reject the harmful systems of society. We will thrive outside the clutches of the banks, provide our own healthcare, and schooling. Rejecting these is to reject the fear and anxiety these systems instill from birth. We will live off-grid without government interference. Entrepreneurship is our ideal means of generating income to make purchases beyond what our land can provide. Self-sufficiency also means building our own home, bush crafting, upcycling used material, and tinkering in better ways to live such as HHO generation.

    To live in full experience of the divine feminine energies in tending to my home and family. I will conceive, freebirth and raise my children in wildness and sovereignty. I will raise humans who have practical life skills and are connected to the power of their mammalian instincts and inner knowing. In full commitment to openess and trust I will allow my husband to exhibit his form of masculinity and caretaking.

    To model a level of freedom many people don’t believe is possible. Neither of us were raised in this lifestyle and our success is an example of what is possible for anyone who desires this way of life. We will support and develop a strong community.

    To be resilient and hardy. To be strong and capable. To be well-rounded as we also cultivate expertise.

    To be well-regulated and militia ready with firearms within our family and community.

    To be ungovernable.
