I’ve been plugging Steven’s work ever since we met a while back. He and I both have that INTJ insanity going that makes experimentation a way of life.
He recently hit 10,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel and gave me a nice shout-out:
I’ve been sending traffic to other people since I started this site. Trading links and giving shout-outs connects you to the bigger community of gardeners and homesteaders, plus boosts your own profile as a side benefit.
Back when I first started linking to people, it only meant a few views for them. My reach was short and my site was small.
Now it means more, as you guys are quite happy to mobilize and send views to a worthy site or video if I say “hey – this guy is great!”
All of us are learning all the time. Sometimes I feel more like a good collector and interpreter of information rather than a brilliant innovator. Sure, I come up with some good ideas now and again but there’s really nothing new under the sun.
If I made a list of the people I need to thank, I’d have a hard time reaching the end of it. The commentors here that send me off searching on something new… the family members that said “you can do it!” when I was a kid… the experimenters like Steven that get me thinking along unexpected and profitable lines… I am blessed.
Subscribe to Steven’s channel if you haven’t already. Also make sure to visit his website – there’s a ton of info there on everything from axes to grafting.
He’s a great guy to follow.
Even if I did use a screen shot for this post making him look totally dopey.

Ahha, I had the NTJ down, and couldn’t quite make you out for an E or I. Makes sense, being an INTP, I notice the certainty in J’s. Damn your certainty, I would love to know it for one day. I started watching Skillcult per your recommendation, and now visit his site everyday, he has a great eye for photography and video, the coolest video might be the one where he has an upclose shot of a rattlesnake, not to mention I learned a new word. Man, I envy the lifestyles you guys live, I hope to one day live the same way. Right now, I work for my father, he is getting older, and needs to slow down. He started his company from the ground, I remember, as a kid, when he started restrapping furniture in our garage, it has grown exponentially over the last 25 years. I now run all the production, and it really cuts into my gardening time;). I have dreams of retiring into homesteading, and you guys( and few others like punky rooster) keep my dream alive. I am very fortunate, and more than happy to help ya’ll in anyway I can. Please, if you need anything, let me know.
I came across Steven, thanks to your blog. He really has a lot of content worth watching, so no surprises he’s reached that many subscribers. I subscribed too. :)
