Skills and activities that a homesteading life includes varying degrees of food preservation, using alternative energy sources, gardening, picking fruit or vegetables, keeping chickens for eggs and meat, sewing, raising animals, craftwork, basic agriculture on a small scale, working a piece of land so it can meet your agriculture and husbandry efforts. With this, you can see it is easy to become a homesteader.
No one I know has the financial resources to dramatically shift their lifestyle and do things all at once, but a steady, progressive attitude will give you the opportunity to learn as you grow and your resources can be allocated in a timely fashion. You many find you do not like certain aspects of homesteading and instead can support local producers and makers for those things that you would rather not or can not do yourself.
