/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>164316
Sorry, I went off to sleep and didn't check back for a while.

I'd move with my girlfriend who's into academy and would like to work at a university, so we'd be living 'close' to a city with a university with a linguistics department.

We'd like to go small and expand as our experience ads up. Rent enough extra land so we can plant fruit trees. Cherries, apples, pears. I'd rather have them out as soon as possible, I think you understand why.

In-season veg with 2 poly-tunnels, raised beds and plenty variety. We do not eat peas and beans (paleo diet), so that is out. I'd try my hand at everything, but plans will be set up when we see what we have on our hand.

As far as animals go, three piglets and a handful of chicken. We eat 2-3 eggs a day each, so I'd go for at least a dozen chicks, half for eggs, half for meat.

Gotta get a shotgun licence asap when we move, as well as contacts for fishing. I'd like a small river near the house, for obvious reasons. The closeness of the sea is grand, it would provide us with plenty extra food. Hedgerow hunting is a must. I fucking love that guy who did all the beers and wines, and who wrote the mushroom book. I'm starting at a shroom club this year so I'll have plenty experience by the time we get there. Gotta take exam too sometimes, so I know I'm good to go without relying on people to identify whatever I pick.

We'd expand on the scale annually. Sheeps and goats are must, goats for both cheesemaking as well as meat.

living in the wild would be better

less effort to clean up and plenty of resources around

main problem is dealing with lots of people which is never easy. I've yet to see a chan video game village survive, so you can more or less guess what the outcome will be.

We have blacksmiths, tailors, leather-workers, farmers, bakers, chainmail makers, wood workers, and mead brewers

All we need a sheriff, a priest, a lord, and a village name

also possible vicious beasts and enemy forces we're defending against
