I live in the middle of nowhere in Sweden, in a tiny cottage with some land. We have, what I think is called, a root cellar, in which we can keep most of what we grow all year around and we're mostly self sufficient. At the end of last summer I was browsing google for new ways to preserve my crops, especially tomatoes, and somehow stumbled upon the barracks via a newspaper or magazine. Can't remember exactly. The internet works in mysterious ways. However, I savoured every blog post with a growing hope that someone's actually doing something. Have diligently read the newsletter every week since then. It's like a beacon in the night. Thank you for what you are doing!
I'm from Dallas, TX and have no recollection of how I stumbled across your particular corner of the world. We have maybe just finally wrapped up one of our notoriously bad summers here. We may get 2 weeks of fall before first winter sets in. This part of Texas is not known for nice seasons.
I enjoy your journey in self-sufficiency. Lots of people mumble about stuff like this but few even understand what it requires. Thanks for continuing to chronicle your work.
I can't remember how I heard about you, Ben. I got hooked by the pigs, love to read about your amazing garden adventures, and feel thankful overall for your blunt assessments of where we are all heading...no sugarcoating there!
Oh, I'm holding myself back, believe me. There was some really awful climate news out yesterday. I am not sure what to do with it. But, it'll be mainstream in a day or two, I am sure.
