Philosophy

Outsourcing isn’t something unique to large bloated corporations.  We all outsource whenever we step into a retail store or a restaurant. This blog is about being more self-sufficient in an outsourcing world.  Do it yourself to save money or simply for that rewarding feeling of being less dependent.  Build over buy, repair over replace, and repurpose over relinquish.

An insourcer’s goal is to be more self-sufficient than the average person (without necessarily abandoning modern society for a solar-powered ecovillage).
