    Are you working hard, or working smart? The smart way to work stacks function to solve many problems with fewer inputs. This approach helps you clear fence lines, trails, or open habitat while enhancing functionality. When you curate land you increase resources each year. There is a time and place to clear land, but clearing is not always necessary. The forest itself is great habitat and shelter for many types of livestock. Pigs, goats, sheep, cows, and even chickens can live in the forest. Your forest systems with silo pasture or agroforestry can deliver additional products. Raise timber, quality hunting land, or wildlife habitat in the same areas livestock periodically visit. When you understand these approaches you get more from every acre. This really boils down to your connection with land. To steward or curate you need education. That starts with practical experience. To learn more about the essential survival skills program mentioned in this episode, visit https://www.sustainablehomeste... You won't learn these things with another podcast or YouTube video. Save that for a rainy day. Doing this the right way means everyday enjoying your property. Get outside, get active, and engage the land in a meaningful way.

    Have the balls to design for humans rather than consumer goods. Unless you are a landscaper by trade, you are likely using string trimmers and leaf blowers the wrong way. These devices are sold by challenging your manhood, yet make you look weak. Do this to never blow another leaf, yet have your yard leafless. Do this to eliminate the need to string trim. You can have a lawn and still be holistic. While I'd rather you have a pasture, you don't have to make so much noise and cause distraction to have grass.
