Hello, I'm from the edge of middle Tennessee. First and foremost I'm a Christian, husband and father, in that order. I have been interested in homesteading, prepping and survival since I was old enough to read. I've had a garden for the past 4 years and am planning on expanding it this year. I do a semi-square foot garden with 2 4x4 raised beds and 1 3x8 raised bed. This year I'd like to add a 15 ft bed to expand my tomatoes and peas. We also collect rain water in our rain barrel and do our own composting. I have also hunted since I was 4. My dad used to take me duck hunting and would carry me inside his chest waders until I was about 6 and then he bought a canoe and would paddle me in with him. I starting doing the actual hunting around 8. We mainly hunted duck and dove, but now we're more rabbit, squirrel and turkey hunters. I have been deer hunting a few times and would like to get into that as a means of putting more meat in the freezer.
My wife just had our first baby a couple of months ago and that has really put me into overdrive. We decided we wanted her to be a stay at home mom and go from gardening and hunting for fun/hobby to a means of providing for the family. We're a bit different from most of our friends that are our age as we don't have grand ideas of being rich or the desire to have a monster home. We're happy in our little house on our smallish lot. We would like to one day have a few acres in the country, but are content where we are. We desire to live simply and make do or do without. This not only frees us from a lot of unwanted stress, but allows us to give more freely.
That being said, I'm glad I found this place and I hope I can give more than I take and learn as much as possible along the way.
