Starting slow is the goal!
I'm very much a study first then apply studies kind of guy. Then slow and steady, probably give minnows etc a full year before putting in the predators. Good point for needing enough to 'find' each other.
I was hoping mike's book would be on Kindle but it's not, will probably grab it shortly, currently going through a bunch fo homesteading/fish raising books that are free on my kindleUnlimited.
To be blunt my goals are as follows:
Have a safe haven for my family to get away from cities should the need arise
Comfortable 'part time home'/vacation campground
'Give back' to the environment (by not overbuilding and planting/creating vegetation etc to attract and promote wildlife/pollinators/fish etc)
Create something that will show at least a small return on investment (not as an income, but improving the property value for if/when i sell it years down the road 5+years).
I read a recent post on here about a dad building a pond with his 9 yr old. Ive got an almost 3 year old boy and thats what I want more than anything.
And FWIW
Learn enough to 'Go Bigger' next time (5+ yrs).
The only thing I need to 'hurry' on is learn what to look for when buying a property, as i want to do taht in the next 60ish days.
