Sustainable Living Skills You Need to Survive
It might not seem so serious to the average consumer in the First World, but the future of the world as we know hangs in the balance. The media is full of bad news that can make changing things for the better seem hopeless, but there are simple and radical things you can do to reduce your impact and set an example for others. It's not just a choice, our survival depends on it.

I Hated the 9-5 RAT RACE | Now I Homestead
Many years ago I left the city life and the rat race to homestead in an ecovillage in rural Missouri. Now I set my own schedule as a digital homesteader, working part time to make ends meet while I grow as much of my own food as possible.
In so many homesteading videos they seem to talk about their gardens and give you a tour, but rarely do they seem to show you what they’re actually harvesting and eating. Many will also exaggerate the amount of food they’re growing for themselves. I don’t do that. I’ll show you what I harvest and I’ll be realistic about the limits of what I can produce for myself.
I always hope my videos will give inspiration to some to ditch the 9-5 and live a simpler life off the land. And don’t forget to cooperate with your neighbors because it’s impossible to go it alone.

Radical Self-Sufficiency | Living Off Our Land
Ditching the 9-5 to Homestead in an Ecovillage
This is a typical day for me during the season living a more sustainable life in an ecovillage. Part of living sustainably is growing and producing most of my own food, whether it’s planting seeds or making everything from scratch.

Transforming a Tiny House for Airbnb Rental
This project has been a long time coming but now it’s finally done. I’ve had this tiny house for over 15 years and have been renting it out at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage for most of that time. But it needed a facelift. Years of abuse by tenants and general wear and tear wore the house down. Now, with some major improvements it’s ready for short term rentals and will be host for experiences in self sufficiency.

Do I Live In a CULT? | Google Thinks I Do
Why is “Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage cult” the first term that comes up in Google when users search Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage? In this video, I’ll examine the characteristics experts use to determine if a group is a cult and see how my community measures up.
Do I live in a cult? Does my community meet the criteria to be a cult, or is Google misleading everyone who searches for my community?
