Simple Self-Reliant Living is for people who want practical skills — growing some of their own food, keeping a capable household, and staying strong enough to enjoy everyday life — without becoming fearful or extreme.
We write for beginners and for readers who prefer clear, calm guidance. Many of our readers are seniors or people starting fresh with small spaces.
Lorna Whitcombe
Lorna writes about gardening in small spaces, home skills, and staying healthy and capable as we age. She focuses on what actually works for ordinary households — pots on a patio, simple routines, and advice you can use this week.
Justin Grace
Justin writes about solar and backup power, practical tools, and the household systems that keep things running when the grid does not. He aims for clear explanations and realistic setups, not gadgets for their own sake.
How we work
We research carefully, write in plain English, and keep health and safety disclaimers honest. Nothing here replaces professional medical, legal, or technical advice — see our Disclaimer.
