Homesteading? Do you mean staking a claim on public land and making it your own? You're a few decades too late. The last vestiges of the Homestead Act were repealed in 1976. If you want land you have to pay for it like everyone else.

In modern usage, Homesteading refers to self-sufficient living (i.e. growing/hunting your own food).

Homesteading

>Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is characterized by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of food, and may also involve the small scale production of textiles, clothing, and craft work for household use or sale. Pursued in different ways around the world—and in different historical eras—homesteading is generally differentiated from rural village or commune living by isolation (either socially or physically) of the homestead. Use of the term in the United States dates back to the Homestead Act (1862) and before.
