I think the term 'simple' these days is a misnomer,rather it should be 'dependent' as in trying to be less dependent on outside forces and suppliers.Power failure? I have wood heat and gravity flow water from a Spring if I need it.I have a checking account just for SS deposits and paying bills but have usually have very little money in it on purpose.I own equipment and tractors I can repair myself with lots of spare parts and parts machines.We grow a big garden and put up a lot of it for Winter.I'm a pretty decent hunter and can keep myself in meat.Now I'm not kidding myself I am dependent on the outside World of course but if the power goes off for a week or so I'm fine and if there is a coming snow storm I don't have to go and fight at the grocery store for a loaf of bread.If my baler breaks down in the middle of baling 30 acres of hay I just go get on the backup tractor/baler and finish out the day and even have a 3rd backup rig.Plus I can work on the broken down machine when I want with cheaper parts than having to immediately run to the dealer to buy their high dollar stuff and pay $100 hr for them to work on it.Actually being fully dependent on the outside world is as simple as it gets these days but its usually expensive and you have no control over anything that happens to yourself.And if you trust banks check with the folks in Cyprus.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
