I wonder how many of my blog readers have noticed that new badge on my opening page. I was notified on Monday that my YouTube channel was added to a list of the top 20 Sustainable Living YouTubers by
Feedspot. Pretty ironic considering that one of the main things I have learned after 11 years of The Field Lab experiment, it that it is virtually impossible for one person to live a completely sustainable life out here (or just about anywhere else) - especially if you are a meat eater. I suppose if I was a hardcore vegan - I might be able to make a go of it...but it is doubtful (and incredibly boring). I pretty much have figured out that true sustainable living is just a myth. There are lots of internet sources that promote it...but they always leave out things like gasoline for your vehicle, building materials and hardware, taxes, insurance, ect. Sure I have long had all my water and electricity needs taken care of - but food is a whole other story. One of the main reasons I haven't been growing anything in the greenhouse is because the amount of calories and nutritional value produced vs. the expense, time, and effort (and my precious rainwater) doesn't make it worthwhile - plus, I suck when it comes to
farming. From time to time I have been asked..."in all my years of living out here what have I found to be the most efficient means of sustaining myself?" My answer....Amazon Prime. 80,90,52, .14",B
