Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, Episode-1002- The Why, What and How of Modern Homesteading and originally aired on Oct 19, 2012.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

There is an old saying, “what’s old is new again”. While a fashion minded yuppie may be referring to something like a brief return of the awful concept of bell bottom jeans or some such nonsense, there is a real meaningful component to the statement.

The Classic View of "Homestead" is not the Only Option

The Classic View of “Homestead” is not the Only Option

When we are unhappy, when we know something is wrong we try to think back to happier times and make part of what they had part of what we have today. Why do you think “I Love Lucy”, “Andy Griffith” and even “The Three Stooges” enjoyed a lot of rebirth after 911? Why do you think one network plays “A Christmas Story” for 24 hours strait every Christmas?

This is particularly playing out today in the homesteading and back to the land movements. Something is different this time though, people seem to be doing it for a new reason, while seeking the lessons of the past, they are actually looking to the future. Rather then nostalgia driving a quaint idea, we seem to have realized, there is “a better way to do things”.
