OT - Country Living

[kalos72]

Ok so I have been thinking alot about this with the serious economic issues in the US. I have been thinking about becoming more independent.

I am sure alot of this sites members live in more rural areas and maybe even have experience in this style of living.

How does a person living on a homestead in the middle of the woods someplace make money? Money is still needed for things I would assume no? Selling agricultural products?

Seems like buying a 100 acre lot in Kentucky or something and trying to live more independent off the "grid", would require me to be rich to start with. I just cant see it....

Any suggestions?
