Are you familiar with the back-to-the-land movement? How about homesteading? Perhaps images come to mind of people growing their own food, keeping livestock, building homes, and living to varying degrees of self-sufficiency. These are just some common features of the rusticator's way of life. Underpinned by key elements of agrarianism, though with less emphasis on farming, the rusticator's philosophy is a synthesis of old and new. Coming from cityscape the rusticator brings his or her baggage along for the ride and tries to transcend the waning quality of life offered by the polis. Get to know the philosophy better by following me on this adventure in the free world.
