Homestead forum diaspora

Yak rancher of sorts. Technical writer of sorts. Non-technical magazine articles as well, genre: buffoonery. I live off-grid on a remote 47 acre ranch run entirely by yaks and Sisters of No Mercy (the herding dogs, not nuns). It's a zany sort of homesteading life, but one well worth the effort. Winters are hard, summers are short, but satisfaction and the delight factor is way up there.
