Chapter 10, "Resource Self-Sufficiency" is a Permies.com exclusive from Leigh Tate's 5 Acres & A Dream The Sequel: Lessons Learned in the Quest for a Self-Sufficient Homestead

Of their homestead resources, Leigh says, "We initially focused on food, energy, and water as our primary resources and spent years learning how to be good stewards of these things. Living close to the land, however, meant we gradually discovered other resources of that are vital to our self-reliance goals. Chapter 10 discusses three more resources that we've realized are foundational to our homesteading way of life: our soil, our trees, and our time."
