Yeah, I was refering to the american pioneer home. I guess as a dutchman, that's my frame of reference. Although I'd prefer to look east to like a ukrainian or poland farmhouse for an example my intended lifestyle. I have seen videos of finnish men building a log home, it really is a wonderful craft and tradition. I come from the river delta's so we build with clay brick on sand or light wooden structures on the boggy soil or dikes.

Both freedom and poverty (which taught me a great down on personal responsibility) have pointed me in the way of traditionalism. I think what you are describing really echoes with my own personal experience, that's that we're not really meant to overspecialise as we do with the 40 hour workweek and the 1 hour commute. A lot more satisfaction is had when you take problems into your own hand and don't go for the easy, "store bought" solutions. I believe owning your culture is akin to following a "walk-through" while playing a video game with lots of random elements :)

By the way, I've been listening to this video series of Jordan Peterson, called "maps of meaning", I believe after a book that he wrote. It's a series of lectures on mythology and covers a broad range of topics.
