Gone Camping!

Perhaps one of the best parts of sustainable living, is finding time to spend with those who are like minded. It's nice to sit a spell and visit with those who live a similar lifestyle.

My family and I spent the weekend camping with other Christian, home schooling families. When we talked, we knew we were on the same page about how we lived and what are values are. We ended up spending time talking about God and home school, but not only that, most of the families there pursue a lifestyle of sustainability. We ended up talking about raising hogs, butchering rabbits, the best way to pluck a chicken, the merits of sun tea, the feasibility of solar panels, the best natural way to brush your teeth, the best way to can meat, and where to find property for sale. We learned a few things and, hopefully, imparted a little bit of our minimal wisdom to others. It was also nice to be away from ringing phones and other electronic devices and to watch our children play with friends, catch bugs and sing songs around a campfire.

Just a side note, no man (or woman) is an island. We like our privacy, as most people do, but it is nice to share our lives, for a little while, with others. Seek out friends and spend some time with others who share your love for sustainability, or find some who don't, and convert 'em.
