Hippie Chick Off Grid Maine

Homesteading Alone off grid in Maine isn't for the faint of heart. It's made up of long hard days and nights. Daylight, dark, rain or snow, things have to be done. You wake up tired and you go to bed tired, but it's worth every bit of the blood, sweat and tears shed. As middle-aged woman, I fair well. I grow and raise most of my own food to help self-sustain. I also work a full time job and a part-time job outside of the homestead so there's not much time to rest. I believe if one wants to live their dream, it can happen in some way or another. If one has limitations, they can live vicariously thru others. I hope you Enjoy this channel enough to hit the subscribe button.

I keep my pantry cool, dark and dry. In the summer during a heatwave, it might climb up to 65 degrees. In the brutal cold spells of winter, if the room dips below 40 degrees, I open the door some to allow some warm air in, otherwise in winter, it stays between 45 and 50 degrees. What do you keep your pantry temperatures at?

Loading up is my most memorable deer hunting story. If you voted no on the poll asking if you want me to tell the story, please pass this video by. It's marked clearly what the video is about so please understand almost 90% of my subscribers wanted me to tell my story where as about 10% of you wished I wouldn't. Please also understand, like I said above, you can skip this video. 3 people told me if I posted the story they would leave my channel, well, that would be your choice as it's my choice also to tell my stories. Thank you. You do for you and I'll respect that as you should also respect me for my choices as well.

I've been asked if I'd be willing to tell my moose and most memorable deer hunting story in a video. I've been hemming and hawing if I want to do that or not since this is not a hunting channel. Is this something you might be interested in?

I have a video loading up, and if you happen to watch it, the added clip at the end is a video off my game camera from October. I have since bought a new card reader. Someone had asked me to show moose footage and this was all I had left on my cell, a video of a video.

Tom is the man! Love this guy. This is an excellent video to watch and learn from with a whole lot of common sense. Survival is key to seeing tomorrow. https://youtu.be/vQz8e_xYlzI?si=eUshK...

Unfortunately we are being forced to put up POSTED signs (no hunting signs) due to people ignoring no trespassing and private property signs already in place. If they asked to hunt, that would be one thing, but when we encounter them, and they have an entitlement attitude, they try to tell us it's none of our business why they are in here and what they are doing. We have never had to put POSTED signs up before because most folks have respected land owner requests, but now....most feel entitled and give you an attitude. POSTED signs only keep the honest in check, and the not so honest, angry and sneaky. How hard is it to at least have the courtesy to ask permission instead of the 'I want to, I'm gonna and try and stop me' attitude....and people think if the world should go to hell, people's attitudes will be nice....nope, that's when people get even more entitled and things get even more problematic.

I really appreciate this lady homesteader. Well worth the watch folks, if you're into watching 'going back to basics' videos.

Breakfast at work: potatoes, onion, green pepper, beets, sweet potatoes, salt/pepper cooked in Ghee, and all Grown/made from home except for the salt/pepper. This meal beats boxed cereal any day of the week. So good!
