Hi Ayn,

I grew up on 48 acres in rural Wisconsin.

Jan and I currently have 16 acres of grass lands adjacent to 120 acres of 50 plus year old red pine trees that I harvest following silvacultural ways.

I have been torn between running the rat race vs greatly simplifying my lifestyle and enjoying living close to the land and being in the woods.

I admire your efforts and independence.

Good hard work is very satisfying.

I've highlighted the link - Thanks for forwarding it.

How do you handle power? solar or wind or water?

Bob

I've revised the possible target for silver to somewhere above $150 per ounce... I know that sounds like a lot, but the Hunt brothers were able to get silver up to $50 more than 30 years ago, well in today's dollars $50 is $150... so, it's not unreasonable that we could reach or maybe peak at $150, or higher than that...

Also, the ratio of silver to gold in the earth's crust is 16 to 1, and that has been the going ratio for 600 years until modern times... it seems that silver will continue to out perform gold, as it has been in recent months, and regain that same ratio once again... if so, then that puts gold at 2400... if gold goes higher than than, we can also expect silver to do the same... at this stage of the game, there is no upward limit for these metals...
