Ep. 83 – You’re Gonna Make It – with Randy the Adirondacker

Thriving is often more about mindset than about homesteading and gardening

At the core, #Thriving is often more about mindset than about homesteading and gardening. If you don’t have the appropriate mindset then the rest doesn’t fall into place.

Randy (Andy Hickman – Shagbark Hick on Twitter) in Upstate NY joins me to talk about his video on Twitter: “You’re Gonna Make it”.

I found this encouraging and thought that you would like it too.

Randy shares about about purposefully living the life of a vagabond/hobo in his early adult years, and talks about #Thriving even through adversity. You mighht think that having nothing would be the opposite of Thriving. But there is some great insight and tips on having the appropriate mindset, alignment, and most of all hope in adversity.

Here is breakdown on his entire thread on his vagabond experiences.

Chestnut seeds for planting, chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings. Adapted to the Midwest.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
