I wish to show everyone, that it is fully possible to live modestly without fossil fuels. Do follow me to see how to turn back the clock to a time when we lived in harmony with our surroundings. This life can be surprisingly pleasant. No sacrifices really.

Preserving food without electricity is not hard, but we have largely forgotten those skills with freezers and fridges in every house. Drying, curing, fermenting and pickling are age-old techniques that don't requite any technology.

If temperatures cross a tipping point (about 35'C if I remember correctly) photosynthesis stops - even if the plant gets enough water. Poultry die at 40'C. Their cooling mechanisms cannot cope with that kind of temperatures.

My only heating is this wood stove. It is great, as it cooks, bakes, keeps water hot, gives a nice glowing light in the evenings and radiates heat. The trouble was, the heat rose upwards. This propeller fixed it! Even heat throughout the house. And without electricity.

Growing your own food is not easy. First you have to seed and plant. Water and fight pests. In the autumn you start harvesting. But a third of your crop has failed for zillion reasons. This is rewarding and I love living from my land. But it takes skill, stamina and patience.

Soil makes a huge difference. Vegetables grown in poor soil can be poor nutritionally. So if we have a field rich in soil microbes and no poisons, the harvest is much more nutritious. Some foods are especially sensitive to soil quality.

I need very little money, living on my homestead. No car, no electricity, heat with wood from my little forest. No plumbing, no machinery. I don't do tourism, pleasure shopping or artificial entertainment. My life is sustainable. And pretty wonderful.

What do you do when your only water source freezes shut and you are told you just have to wait until spring melts it? Well, it's water. So of course I had backup plans. Surprisingly good ones, as it turns out.

There is a cheap, natural poison to fight mold: VINEGAR! Spray it liberally on surfaces and let it dry. The smell will go away, but the effect stays. Now I amm off to spray the cellar. With a good face mask, of course.

I want to be frank. I searched for the farm five years. I had a tight budget but a lot of requirements: public transport, shops within biking distance, water body [whether a river or a lake] and at least semi-decent land. The 10 acres cost me 45k. It was just a forest.

In many areas, the climate id changing. We get long spells of drought, often during the growing season. And when it rains, the downpour skates over the parched soil and abundant asphalt. Solution: store water in the soil, swales, wetlands and ponds!

Rugs are a godsend, as the floor is always the coldest part of the house. In summer, I enjoy my wooden floors. But as winter comes, I pile carpets and rugs on top of another. The top carpet is light, so I can just roll it up and shake it clean outside. Or wash it in the snow.

Companies use nature "for free": greenhouse gas emissions (38%), water use (25%), land use (24%), air pollution (7%), land and water pollution (5%), and waste (1%). So how much is that costing us? Results are fairly stunning. 13 % of 2009 global GDP.

None of the world's top industries would be profitable if they paid for the natural capital they use

A sobering new study finds that the world's biggest industries burn through $7.3 trillion worth of free natural capital a year. And it's the only reason they turn a profit.

I have chickens. Most of them roam around freely. I don't really need to feed them, but they are so endearing, running towards me when they see me, so they always get some treats. I get 10-15 eggs a day. I preserve most of it for winter. Feed costs are about 5e/month.

Provided you house has a gravel base around it, you can pile a thick skirt of snow around the house. Snow is a superb insulator: remember igloos! When spring comes, the snow just melts away.

So if you want to be able to grow some food, fish,keep a couple of chickens,make food from scratch not microwaveable packets - start learning now. Adapting will be easier if you are not entirely dependent on driving to the supermarket for food or cranking the thermostat for heat
