Andreas, Paul, and Samantha’s talk on motivation reaches into its 3rd hour as they discuss homesteading verses permaculture homesteading, the fact that many people spend too much energy on things that don’t improve short-term quality of life, and some things that can help return gumption in the short term.

Andreas takes the lead! He sits Paul down (later joined by Samantha) to talk about keeping yourself motivated and your homestead going, particularly for city folk looking to start. Easiest way is to experience a working homestead first, like bootcamp, and be part of a group (also like bootcamp).
