Merry Christmas from The Cox Coop! I can't wait to get back to work. Recovering slowly but I'm making progress! ❤️

Pneumonia is what's up. Hopefully starting to come out the other side! Last night was the first night I didn't wake up choking and needing the inhaler. Baby steps! I can't wait to start posting the cool nerdy homesteady stuff! ❤️ #NerdyPeoplePrepping

Oh no. :'( Hopefully it rebounds!

You SHOULD be allowed to put the containers outside as long as they are portable. Granted, it's not growing season outside anymore for most of the US, not sure where you're located. :)

You can start growing a ton of stuff in pots/containers without getting HOA approval in most areas. You can pick up a bunch of gorgeous pots at discount stores (like dollar tree & big lots) of various colors and sizes. Then plant them giving them space needed for each plant. ❤️ #NerdyPeoplePrepping

That's what our feed is trying to accomplish. :) It's a feed to focus on homesteading in place, growing food, permaculture, sustainability, etc. I'm trying to keep it cleaned up as best I can so the feed stays focused. :)

Yep we finally stopped after urgent care had to inject steroids to prevent anaphylaxis one day. Sold the hives and steered toward other methods. Lol

We actually tried beekeeping several hives but my husband was allergic and it got worse with each sting. So we had to give that part up.

or buys up all the toilet paper, you aren't as affected since you already have plenty of supplies and other resources available. I can't go fully off-grid due to my disability but I can make it easier on myself while living in the city. We grow legal medicinal herbs that help with my illnesses, etc

It's mostly about growing food at home, learning old-fashioned skills, building up food storage, etc to be more self-reliant and less dependent upon "city life". We put together resources to teach people how start these things without going "off-grid" completely. That way if there's a power outage

Oh I'm so excited to talk about this! I'm a disabled combat vet who's also ND, so my entire homesteading approach teaches 100% spoonie-friendly methods! I had to resort to this lifestyle when I couldn't work any longer, stepping down from a high-stress corporate position.

Let me know what you think. I'm genuinely interested.

It can be done. You can start homesteading in place until you make enough money to switch. ❤️ #NerdyPeoplePrepping

In #NerdyPeoplePrepping we help people homestead in place wherever they are. At our house we do "no till" and "back to Eden" growing due to frequent drought issues. We had AMAZING results with sweet potatoes...expected 10lbs, harvested 90+lbs! You might try self-reliance feeds for more. :)

It's funny. This is after spending MONTHS telling us to shut up & leave if we didn't like it. *Shrug* "ok" Now they're big mad that we did. They only feel alive when controlling others which is the surest sign that even they know they're losers. Civilization is already dead when we tolerate fascism.

We've added several new keywords to the #NerdyPeoplePrepping feed to include more subjects now that we're getting the hang of it. Can't wait for more people to join us! I'm loving this platform already!

You can definitely start homesteading in place. Between learning new skills and starting to practice them, you can get started while you wait for the rest of the "cards" to fall into place. ❤️ #NerdyPeoplePrepping

What does self-reliance mean to you?

1️⃣ Fallout shelter
2️⃣ A cabin out in the wilderness
3️⃣ A homestead (with modern amenities)
4️⃣ Just utilizing the resources around you

We're still working to clean it up. Many of the keywords are used in conversation so we plan to spend time every day pulling out unrelated content from the feed. Until then there's a little extra scrolling to find the good stuff. Lol

Family includes everyone! ❤️

I thought the same until I read your caption and then their caption. Lol

You can start where you are! You don't have to wait for some big life change. I've been teaching people how to start even when they're in apartments. ❤️ You can start learning new skills and practicing while working towards your dream homestead. It's so fun! #NerdyPeoplePrepping

I've found that people seem to confuse the 2 words without really understanding the difference in nuance. I try to include them and help them learn the best way for THEM. (Which is usually self-reliance, of course.) ❤️ #NerdyPeoplePrepping

Oh gosh! I hate that kind of "help". I have found lots of similar boxes to use to replace those canning jar trays. #NerdyPeoplePrepping

Same! We started #NerdyPeoplePrepping to create a place to hang with like-minded people who just want to homestead and be left to play with our herbs, food, and animals (if my other half will ever be open to farm animals. Lol lol lol)

We put in a fruit orchard in our front yard in the city. Now working with a #foodscaping expert to plant perennial foods & herbs around the fruit trees and front landscaping beds. Can't wait until the transformation is complete! <3 #NerdyPeoplePrepping
