I find the homesteading lifestyle so unattractive from a non western perspective. The image of the lone couple battling the elements and enduring the herculean task to be self-sufficient... yikes!
Compare to the crop of Chinese youtube channels, like Lingzhi, Diaxi that show village farm life. These are more attractive because it shows self-sufficiency in the context of a larger village community. Everyone comes to help in the harvest. Everyone comes to help to slaughter a pig. Everyone comes to preserve the latest crop of fruit.
But these America homesteading channels... so dreary. You and you alone have to work sun up and sun down, why? Where is the rural communal life?
