where i feel like i should have *some* motivation

Remember, motivation is a false god. True success comes from determination

Nah I've found that the middleground is best

Like sure doing something because you're determined to do it and your standard is "it gets done", but it becomes a lot better when you're motivated to do it

As long as you don't *depend* on motivation

So

What is the exact plan, as far as this specific channel?

Anything homesteading/prepper/survival related.

Ah I see

What's the general then for overall discussion?

Yeah, anything that doesn't fit in the other channels I suppose.

this is for stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vuMSoQzYfs

Oh my bad, survival stuff would go in <#359944897676967946> .

i guess it depends on the type of survival

Probably should just merge these.

im worried about too many overlapping conversations

Well, most discussion in one is applicable to the other.

Doesn't really matter either way.

Zennex17, to answer your question from the sig chat: it's a new hobby for me and I haven't harvested anything yet. But I think that lettuce in the pic is about ready and it's been ~3 weeks since the seeds sprouted from the rockwool.

Anyone know anything about bovines?

Anyone have any experience with family milk cows, on the topic of self-sufficiency?

Not much, I knew some folks that had a milk cow. They also had a couple goats and said that the goats ended up producing more milk for their size than the cow.

It depends on the cow, cow's age and feed. Personaly I perfer more animals because it minimizes the chance of catastophry. http://www.backwoodshome.com/bovine-basics-for-beginners/
P.S. did you know that there are dairy sheep breeds.
