If you don't live in community (family or others) how will you manage in the most extreme conditions that climate will present? When you're 80, will you be able to shovel snow or tote firewood in the freezing dead of winter? Will you be able to sit quietly in the shade with a wet cloth on your head in the roasting dead of summer?

Things get unpredictable and unstable, which makes building the base of your homestead very difficult.

Some of what makes my community awesome, was built by the ancestors. Much of what makes my community awesome is derived from the choices that we make every day.
