Summary: TweetCheck Out Joe Mooney’s Awesome Youtube Channel “HomesteadEconomics” Joe Mooney is a passionate advocate for becoming more self-reliant and learning through DIY self-education. While a firefighter by trade, he is a DIY project junkie and amateur homesteader by passion. Growing up in both rural and urban areas around the US, Joe now calls his rural ‘homestead’ in the Arizona desert home. He and his family live off of 90% rainwater, collected from their roof and are always looking for new ways to become more self-reliant and live a more satisfying and healthy life. Joe maintains a YouTube channel called “Homesteadonomics” that chronicles many of his DIY projects and homesteading activities. He considers his channel a means to teach others how he does projects on his homestead as well as increasing his own self-education in the process. Subjects are wide ranging and include rainwater harvesting, desert gardening, chicken and beekeeping, alternative income sources, DIY home repair, leather/kydex work, various pallet projects and a rather large combination of other odd how to projects. In true homesteading fashion, Joe’s projects and homesteading activities also serve to provide additional income as well as hone future skill sets in various disciplines. In addition to making videos, Joe has written articles for backwoods home and sometimes moonlights as a craftsman of odd projects that he sells on craigslist.com Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 1618 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com AgriTrue.com GenForward Knife Kits – (sponsor of the day) Backwoods Home – (sponsor of the day) The Duck Chronicles – Video Series Homesteadonomics – Joe’s Youtube Channel Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
