First learn to make your own sodium hydroxide. You can't get away from dependence on others, everything is more complex than it looks
Making potash didn't seem that complex tbh.
Indeed, but it's another necessary step. Nothing is as simple as it seems. You probably need the wood plantation anyway for fuel
Oh ofc not. Check the video in my comment from the timestamp.
Making soap would be just one item. It'd be somewhat challenging to make literally everything you need from scratch. Not impossible but, challenging.
"wood plantation for fuel" uh I'm Finnish and I've lived in houses with wood stoves half my life I'm afraid I don't quite get your meaning
