Urban Homestead - Self Sufficiency Wrap Up w/ Jules Dervaes

To live as simply as possible, to live in harmony with nature. All things are possible to a certain extent.

The modern technological world has made its people its subjects; it has made them ignorant and keeps them in ignorance. We are basically ignorant, ignorant of the basics–where does our food come from? Where does our water come from? And importantly, where do our wastes go? We live cut off from ourselves because of this lack-of-touch with the natural things. And our foundation is weakened, and there is no way we can build onto the self in such a state.

So I must go back as far as I can. I must find out where to get water to drink. Can I afford to wait any longer to begin this back-track? Should I gather more accessories and build up a secure foothold first in this world?

What do I need? I need only land and water–so I can live. Why do other people Want more, and why do other people want me to have more. I want less and less. If I am alive and learning, what more? I need to learn how to grow food. How long should I wait to do this?

I am 25 1/2

Jules Dervaes Jr, 1973

Why are you taking the term "Urban Homesteading" for profit? You may be taking the concept of farming too far.

Those of you ignorant about global warming need to stop watching your Fox11 news and go read a book and get educated.

I love urban homesteading but Jules Dervaes is an asshole. He is trying to trademark the term urban homesteading and either force all urban homesteads to quit using the name or force them to pay him a fee. Disgusting and so harmful to the urban homesteading and urban organic movements. He talks about changing the world but it seems to me he's trying to change his the thickness of his wallet.

Good lord. Some people are still disavowing the effects/results of climate change? It is in actualities such as this that I question whether or not there is any hope for the collective 'us.' Instead of pointing a finger at government (rightly or wrongly), take a genuine look at what WE as individuals are doing. What we purchase, how we use/dispose of synthetic chemicals, our myriad of motorized transport (including 'recreational'), our excessive use of everything, our consumer gluttony, ETC.

P.S. Global warming is a lie! The government is using HAARP to affect the climate!

[friendlybusiness4u]

Everyone needs to learn to live like this before the U.S. economy collapses!
