Join us on this adventure we call life, as we choose to live deliberately.
I have made it my mission to introduce 100,000 people to the out of doors. It is my greatest hope that by showing you the way, I can give back to all those to whom I owe so much of my knowledge and help to set anyone on the road to self-sufficient living.

We have all grown up with the story of Daniel Boone. Boone was often heard to say, “I have never been lost. But I sure have been
powerful mixed up for a day or two!”
Nothing can replace the knowledge you have and the skill you have acquired. A survival kit can provide items you may need quickly and immediately. A skilled person can make or make do
with resources, they find in the field.
Resources are primarily based on the geography and time of year you may find yourself.
If the resources you need are not in the area you find yourself in, you would need to travel to a new place to find them. This may not always be possible.
Survival kits can be simple or the kitchen sink. This guide is about two kits that you can make yourself—packed with valuable tips and tricks.

You may ask can I do this?
Answer: Yes, if you want to, you can do this and more!
I grew up Fishing, Trapping and Hunting. I traveled at an early age half way around the world and back. I have worked with inner-city folks, and they learned how to thrive for months at a time in the out of doors. You can learn and plan. Better yet, you can travel or live any place and create a safe and comfortable place for you and your family . You can build a life with one foot in the out of doors and another in an office or business.
If you grew up in the outdoor life, ask yourself, how will I fund this next step in my life? What steps can I take to get my peace of mind? Maybe, it seems like things didn’t turn out the way they should have. Ahh, that’s what the dream sellers fail to talk about. We offer you case studies to show you how we and others have built gardens from ashes.
No one can ever guarantee your success, and nothing on this site or any of our programs is meant to be financial or professional advice.
Lots of room on the inside of this home-built, 458 sq foot yurt.
It even has four separated rooms. Combined with an on
site camper and small SIP (panels you can build) buildings
and 195 sq foot office / storage area brings the usable living
space to well over 959 sq feet. Our yurt is, “way cool” for something that is still considered a tent! It has withstood: 70 MPH + winds, temps of – 17 F and lots of snow and ice.
A 4 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on Long Island, NY (1000 sq feet) near the airport (Noise) lists for $2600 per month. In our rural area up to $2000 per month as of 9/24/22 In the summer and fall we have an outdoor screened in area that adds about 100 sq feet of area with close to “Five Acres and Independence.”
At this time, we are raising chickens, quail, bees for honey, tap our own maples for syrup, and grow many of our summer vegetables. We have planted: Berry Bushes, Apple Trees, Cherries, Plum Trees, Grapes, Hazelnut, Chestnuts and Rose bushes. We have started our rhubarb and asparagus patches.
As of this year we have added all the equipment we need for raising rabbits and are closing in areas for raising pork. After this year’s successful egg hatching and incubation, We feel confident that we will be growing out poultry fryers this summer.

John Elden Gibbons and Teresa S. Landry introduce themselves and talk about their experiences of living deliberately, creating a freedom lifestyle, building a homestead, and living off-grid. This is about the good, the bad, and the ugly that goes along with independent living, and a journey that is filled with ups and downs. Throughout this podcast – and future episodes – John and Teresa discuss the aspects of “back to the earth” living that they want to maintain as they move forward and the aspects they want to move beyond and never have to deal with again. This is about deliberately building the ideal life and acknowledging that some overly-romanticized notions of the simple life are not feasible in modern society. Also discussed will be the challenges of earning a living while living “simple,” and the plain truth that living simple is very time-consuming.
