It's a new season and we are getting ready for some growing and other Homesteading activities. We have the garden cleaned, tilled and ready for making our rows and planting. Our approach is going to be as intensive as last year yet a bit more focused on foods we eat and the ease at which they store.
This is the (pseudo) launch of the website, “Back to the Homestead.” It was learned that there is another site called, “The Walker Homestead” and wanted to maintain our uniqueness and avoid future rights issues that may arise.
This is the second year we are producing these homesteading videos and we are still trying to get our bearings. Our homestead is run by me, my wife and my 4-soon-to-be-5-year-old son. Our homestead sits on a half acre near Boise, Idaho. Sure, we don’t have much of a spot, but there are many that I have met during this journey that have even less and are making a go of homesteading (and doing a dog-on good job at it). It's not only about becoming self-sufficient but helping others become self-sufficient as well. We learn how not because we have to; we learn how so we're ready when we need to.
Let me reiterate that statement: “It's not only about becoming self-sufficient but helping others become self-sufficient as well. We learn how not because we have to; we learn how so we're ready when we need to.”
Many of you all who have the capabilities of watching these shows have the capabilities of earning resources and buying life’s needs and wants without a homestead. We could get up every day and work (for someone else), take the resources that we earn (from someone else) and buy our needs and wants (from someone else). So, the question is: Why do we Homestead? For me, the answer is simple: To reduce the dependency on “someone else.” For me, it’s not about preparing for the end of civilization as we know it; it’s about preparing for a time when gas is $9.78 a gallon, milk is $14.49 a gallon and when $100 at the checkout will provide a family of 4 a day or two of food. It’s not a matter of converting over to alternative power now; it’s a matter of knowing how when power from the grid is priced as a luxury rather than a perceived right.
Self-sufficiency is not only about growing vegetables and keeping a few chickens, there is so much more to consider. Notice above I said that I would like to “reduce” the dependency on someone else. Elimination of social dependency can be reduced but probably never completely eliminated. Consider the need for antibiotics if you become sick. The need for PVC to run irrigation to the “back 40,” and even supplemental foods if we ever have a crop failure along with other necessities is always part of homesteading. Maintaining social relationships (including a job) is important; what we are protecting ourselves from may never come (this is a good thing). Self-sufficiency may could considered growing our own food, using and reusing what others throw away and maybe even finding an occupation where we are recession-proof.
What is Sulae Arts? If you have asked that question, I’ll clarify it now. Sulae Arts was created back in 2007 as a DBA (do business as) for a photography business that I had started. We wrote a book and later determined that I could do much, much better in my current profession rather than taking portraits. I knew no one would pay me for photographing my passion: Wildlife and Nature. Eventually, we decided to shut down the portrait section of the business and focus on what we enjoy most. Sulae Arts still exists though not as a business (per se) but more of a hobby project (no tax write-off with a hobby).
From here on out, we will have show notes to accompany each show we produce. Rather than just showing video of the garden’s progress, we’ll be doing much, much more how to. Sure, watching someone’s garden grow through the season is motivating and we’ll continue to show updates. However, we’ll be showing other folks how to do what we have been learning how to do. You see, if everyone else knows “how to fish” we won’t have to worry about others taking or “fish” if times every got tough.
It’s going to be an interesting growing season. I’ll be maintaining a homestead, gardening, full-time job and going back to school in order to advance in my degree and increase my income potential. Ha, it’s going to be easy! As easy as herding chickens, right?
Well, you all keep on keeping on. Keep watching and send some feedback. Let me know what you are interested in and what you’d like to see more of.

Hello! My name is Ally Siegel and I work with BBC Worldwide Productions. I came across your blog while doing research on folks living off grid for a National Geographic documentary. If you have a moment I'd love to talk with you further about your off grid efforts and lifestyle, to see if you might be interested in participating in this doc series.
