About

Welcome to the Turkeysong blog!  Turkeysong is a homestead in the beautiful coastal mountains of Northern California.  This awesome section of land I care-take is something like a canvas and a laboratory on which to live, create and experiment.  I have spent many years building ability and knowledge, studying ancestral and basic living skills, and teaching and writing about such through Paleotechnics.  Figuring that stuff out is the greater part of my life.  The goal of this blog is to provide practical, useful homesteading related information which has been sieved through the crucible of experience, and to chronicle experiments and ideas in country living, and technologies related to human self reliance.  Experimentation and creative adaptation are always on the menu!  Expect me to push the envelope a little and deliver innovative projects and ideas with enough detail and background for you to move forward.  Turkeysong’s sister site, Paleotechnics, explores skills and ideas in the more primitive realm.  gobble gobble.
