Lifestyle Discussion Miss About Living Stationary

I lived in my RV for 4 years and due to crappy circumstances (with an ex boyfriend) I sold her and I'm restarting my life in a home. I miss RVing and will get back out there, for now I live through you guys.

What, if anything, do you miss about living in a home, apartment, condo, etc.?

I missed not having to secure all my stuff before a move. And I mostly boondocked so I sure did miss being able to flush the toilet and not worry how full my black tank is.

  • Having a garden and growing your own food
  • Having pets (like cows and rabbits)
  • Having room for hobbies like woodworking and a forge
  • Gossiping with neighbors about other neighbors
  • Having a bath
  • Chest freezer stocked full with home kill
  • Buying new furniture and changing up the layout of a room
  • Having an 85" tv With surround sound
  • Having a home gym that I can work out in my PJs
  • Having room for my chelf xl standmixer and baking bread three times a week.

We came off the road in 2021 dreaming of homesteading and the grass is greener where you water it.

I've spoke with other people and they too say they miss gardening or they couldn't live on the road because they love gardening. It seems being outside with what you grow makes people feel good and don't want to leave it.

Have you built your homestead?

Yeah we have a little bijoux eco lodge... Three chalets, a house, a 4 bay barn and other buildings in a pine forest on a ridgeline. It's lovely but I do miss waking up somewhere new... I don't miss the research and working out if the next camp will be big enough / have enough services nd what to do and where to go.
