Well I'm not planning on a grand gesture I dont think. But my wife and I (now a daughter as well which is added impetus) have been planning on leaving the
city for some time.
Our plans don't include Osee Mtn levels of wilderness, nor do they currently include only eating what we grow or barter.
But they do include living somewhere that we have more space than the 1'x5' beds on two sides of our 6x10' backyard.
An acre is a lot of
land if you're starting from nothing IMO. Living where we do currently we are surrounded by very expensive real estate, but have family in the Okanagan. Relocating there provides us the seed of the plan. Plus more family is good.
I've just been reading SKIP and
PEP, which have provided me with a lot of good food for thought, and constructive avenues that I can pursue to improve right now, no waiting. Worth the price of admission right there.
Any suggestions? An intro
thread seems like a poor place to turn away advice from those more experienced.
