I once mentioned on another thread, the homesteading life is the life I choose to live. The one I’ve always wanted to live. My mom can vouch for that!

No SHTF, I'm still enjoying 'going back to my roots' with gardening, poultry, & other 'country-fied' pursuits that I hated as a kid,
but am enjoying returning to as an old fart.
