Wisconsin Homesteaders
How many in here are from Wisconsin and what part of the state are you from?
I am located about 30 miles north of Madison.

About an hour SW of Madison. Many similar folks in the area therefore lots of trading, barter and knowledge sharing.

I know of at least five HTers including myself from Lafayette County, far SW corner of the state. We're one county east of the Mississippi (and Iowa) and just north of the Illinois state line. Thus the county west of Greencountypete, idigpotatoes and several others.

I moved away 10+ years ago, but grew up in northern Portage county where my folks still live.

It isn't where you are located that matters...it is the mindset and willingness to try and be more self sufficient.

Hey Vigilant... we lived in West Allis before moving to the country 5 years ago. Still have a bunch of family in that area.

I'm not in Wisconsin, but only about 15 minutes from the state line...Poplar Grove, Illinois. And I have to agree with you, Fyredup, it's not the location, but the mindset!
Always glad to know more people in the area who are interested in self sufficiency, bartering, etc. And since some of you are south of Madison, near the border...thought I'd pipe up and say hi!
