Decluttering is a significant part of minimalist and simple living. All of these different levels of sparseness certainly reject the popular or general way of life in America today which seems to be a progression for most people to larger and larger homes and more and more toys, equipment, and electronic devices. It must be reiterated at this point, though, that the internet has certainly aided modern homesteaders.

Ingenuity and creativity are also necessary for self sufficient living. Homesteaders can include people who have a lot of modern, expensive equipment to make their lives easier. More often, though, it is a populace who fixes rather than buys, use hand tools to mend, build, re-use items, and make their own. This can cover a wide range from those who weave their own textiles, to those who may make a dress from old ties or remake drapes into any needed cloth item. Many become skillful and adept at trades that are then sellable to the general population, and this can help sustain a small farm.
