Homesteaders & Preppers on steemit - visiting everyone on the list to say hello and leave a little gift

The master list of homesteaders and preppers on steemit has now reached 283, up 5 from version 11 that was posted just before Christmas.

It is good to see a continual healthy growth of homesteaders and preppers on the platform.

However something that has been increasingly worrying me of late is how many on the list are still active.

I have done cursory inspections as has @goldendawne and we have found quite a few that are no longer active on steemit.

Inspired by my ongoing project to visit all my 900+ followers, I am going to do a virtual tour of all the homesteaders and preppers on the list to record their status.

I will visit each account in turn, leaving a message for those that are not currently active, and also placing an upvote of at least 10% on anyone that has an appropriate post from the last seven days. I will also check my follow status - I generally follow everyone on the list that is active.

I expect it will take me a week or so to get round all 283 accounts. I will report at the end with the activity statistics.

Because someone has not posted in the past month doesn't mean they have gone for ever. It is not unusual for people to return to steemit after taking a break for whatever reason.

I'm hoping my little messages might persuade a few at least to get active on steemit again.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on my virtual tour in the coming days.
