The document discusses the process of categorizing items for establishing a sustainable homestead on a 2 acre plot of land. The author began by taking stock of the land and focusing on self-reliance and sustainability goals. Main categories created include animals, housing, food sources, and thermal and rain collection. The author reorganized the categories but did not find any profoundly different results. Goals for the homestead include producing food, power, and income while living comfortably with nature. Security and income sources were left out initially but may be revisited in the future.
