About Me

ATW
Thanks for stopping by. A few years ago this blog started as a Diary for me so that I can go back and see where I need improvement. Well... Over the years, my hobby has turned into a passion and my wife and I are striving to live everyday to be self sufficient. Its not easy, but thanks to the many wonderful people that I have had the opportunity to meet through blogging.. We have endured and been able to achieve real results. So hang out awhile.. I look forward to talking to you ~USS If you have any questions or want to discuss some ideas please send me and Email to urbanselfsufficientist@gmail.com
