WELCOME TO A. TALBOT HERITAGE

I don't currently live on an off-grid, self-sustaining mini-farm with a lovely heirloom garden, heritage livestock and a small home I built myself with a prepper's paradise for a basement and a zombie proof perimeter.

I plan to.

But, alas I was raised in the city and I have a full time job that I can't yet afford to abandon. Apparently, in order to be come self-sufficient on my private 10+ acres, I need at least some start-up capital. So work I continue to do. And, in the meantime, research research research. Which I am not too shabby at.

Zombies aside, I think this is a worthwhile lifestyle to aim for. There are a lot of common practices that I've grown up with that I really think should be unnecessary for living a satisfying life. And that's what I want - a satisfying life. And there is a LOT of stuff I want to learn about.

So here I go.
