This is Part 1 of a new series.
There may be as many different reasons to homestead as there are homesteaders. For @mama-pepper and @papa-pepper, it is the path to the destination that we desire, rather than being the actual goal itself. In this series I will share why we are on this path, and some of the additional reasons that have crept in since we began to choose this lifestyle for our family.
I will try to make each video easy to understand and easy to digest. This is the introduction to the series, and I will progress from here. Enjoy the video!
PART 1 - IT IS THE PATH, NOT THE DESTINATION
Since we desire to live our life together as a family, homesteading seems to be the best option for us. In Part 2, I will cover why we desire to live our lives together as a family. Stay tuned!
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
Looking forward to part 2!

I agree people homestead from a variety of backgrounds. I love the diy aspect, gardening, self reliance.

Hey, @papa-pepper! For us homesteading was an end to a means, having our grown children and grandchildren close to us, being close as a family unit. Three of four sons work from home. Grandchildren are homeschooled. So we spend a lot of time together. We support each other and we have developed very close ties that most outsiders don't understand. Why would we want to be so close to family? It is hard to put into words. We also want to be self-suficient so we don't need to depend on store for our food. Our way of life is tranquil and the children and grand kids know where their roots are.

I am a prepper myself. A prepper who is stuck in a city. I have my 75L pack on standby 24/7. Homesteading is something I always wanted me and my wife to get into, but the costs are prohibitive right now. Maybe with steemit I can get that going down the line. Cheers @papa-pepper

Man, you are not going to believe this.
I stumbled upon a resource tonite, from 1850, that literally is right in line with even some of your words here almost word for word.
Have you heard of Henry David Thoreau, and some of his views on Liberty back then even, along with his outback / homesteading on Walden Pond?????
It is freaking me out -- even my tag matches your post dude.
I really would like you to read this and hope you do not mind me dropping this here.
I think there is really something to this.
It is a little rambly by my standards I think - but I was sent in 2 directions, and tried to converge it back to one article, after a pretty rough day for me.
Please check this out Papa, and anyone else on Liberty/Self Reliance type journeys.

I really like that hat. Anyway, I love the idea of homesteading. My hope is to one day, build my family a home. Not sure if that dream is cohesive with pioneering a church, but nevertheless thats the hope. One step at a time.

I've been thinking upon why I feel that is so important not to confuse homesteading for a destination. It's because if you do it, you would renounce to many things that do not suit a proper homesteader lifestyle: I would renounce to take a break from time to time from the homestead, taking a vacation and let someone else take care of the animals. Or I would renounce to buy cheap stuff at the discount - that can still be very nice to buy and eat (chocolate for example). That's why I think it is important to see homeasteading as path: because it should set you free not limit you.

Looking forward to the rest of your series. For me, it is important to be with family as well. While we are not on the same piece of land, my children and their children are all very close - in walking distance for the most part (long walk), but for San Diego conditions, that is extremely close.
