The term "The New Renaissance" is much better! my family has adopted that theme as our own. New Renaissance Living will be the name of a new blog that they are putting together.

We moved rural 20 years ago. We are still half in and half out of everyday life. We farm, we home school, my husband works in "town" (30 miles), our children participate in sports/music, we love our church family. Each year we try to add one new off-the-grid improvement. I absolutely love and agree with your statement of becoming "The New Renaissance". It describes your family, and many who are striving in your same direction. Thank you for the heart-warming and honest input and assessment of family life and attempting to live off the grid. Well done!

We have storables, but now am giving serious thought to making our own cheese, raising the chickens etc. Our garden does well - just started an orchard.<br /><br />I chuckle when I think of our BUSY life compared to my siblings who are " searching " for the mundane ( checkers, cards etc. ) to keep themselves busy. Wouldn't trade it for the world !

Yes, there are dangers in the world. However, you are sending a wonderful message to your children (and to your readers), that the goal is to live the lifestyle that you have chosen for your family. You decided to walk in what you believe is a better path, not because you're running in fear. I see a nice parallel to the Christian walk - we are not just trying to squeeze into Heaven, as it were, but really to live well in fellowship with our Creator.

Im home today with some...Enola,<br /><br /><br />(captaincrunch)<br /><br /><br />Im home today with some kind of stomach virus that just has passed. I just saw the article on Drudgereport about North Korea's latest Nuke threat. This one sounds really serious.<br /><br />Thats why I just broke onto your blog, I was not planning on comming back for some time as you know, but I am very, very concearned. I off loaded cruise missiles once from my ship that were nuke capable. The missles are very small. You would be suprised how small a tactical nuke warhead is! <br /><br />North Korean ballistic missles are of no real threat. I could be wrong. I think the two biggest threats are from "short range ship launched nukes" and nukes smuggled in gunny sacks (like dope) on the backs of illegal aliens through our open border. <br /><br />Yeah' we got neutron detectors all over the border looking for nukes, yeah whatever. Pardon me being politically incorrect we also have Border Patrol all over the border and I see wetbacks crossing the border (jumping the fence)every damn day. That makes me feel real safe. Yeah' thanks alot Dept. of Homeland Insecurity, ever hear of the movie "Red Dawn" <br /><br />All it takes is a 10 kiloton nuke in a Kelty backpack to destroy a city.<br /><br />Maybe its just me' but if was in my driveway and someone walks up my driveway towards me and says "Im going to kill you"<br /><br />I will immediatly pull out my .45 1911 pistol and flick off the safety as I aim up on them and have my finger on the trigger with the intent to shoot. I take all threats serously. I may elimate the threat evan though it may only be an idle threat. If the treat is made, then my life is in danger. Thats the way I see it.<br /><br />What all this boils down to is prepardness. I will probably hit the atm machine and loot my account tonight and get six months of captaincrunch cereal and other foodstuffs I normally eat (maybe I will get six months of 'Shiner Bach beer) If the ballon goes up, I intend to survive (I can barter the beer:)<br /><br />I reccomend everyone do the same, better to have six months of beer than have no beer. (dont forget the Dorito's)<br /><br />Theres some humor in that last statement, but some logic as well.<br /><br />I wish everyone well and Enola and her family will be in my prayers.<br /><br />(captaincrunch)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-3249525970720234732013-04-03T17:52:33.442-07:002013-04-03T17:52:33.442-07:00The new renaissance...I love it!

Another way of looking at it-your lifestyle sounds very similar to what my grandparents described as everyday life, from the mid 1940s on back-it seems to me people became more and more disconnected from the sources of many things after World War 2, and that really accellerated in the last decade or so.<br /> I went about five days without power during a ice storm a decade ago-being something of a packrat left me "accidentally prepared"-and was a needed swift kick to back up and look at the big picture.<br /> I plan to get out, but it will be pay as you go, and saving up is a slow process. Personally, I don't think civilization will collapse,but natural disasters do happen, and it's easier to cope with them in rural areas. Cities are like technological toys-neat when the power's on, but not worth much if the power's off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8294304458677955232.post-14124787404920311112013-04-02T18:23:17.492-07:002013-04-02T18:23:17.492-07:00Yep - spring with snow on the ground and 11 days w...Yep - spring with snow on the ground and 11 days w/o power after an ice storm a few years ago.
