if you go to youtube and search for homesteaders you will find a lot of people who homestead! There is no 'right' way to do it. I've seen things from an american homestead and thought that is amazing! And then other things that I don't care for and wouldn't spend my time doing, like milling lumber. Just depends on your property, what you like and what you want to do, but watching others homestead is how we came up with our plans!
