No alternative power or water. I'm saving and looking for property. That's been a goal for a little while now. I've also been trying to make time to get out-of-state and get a feel for property elsewhere. At this stage I need a bit of land to do anything proper. I can't do shit where I am at. Quoting: Jean-Luc Stockyard but whatever; I missed the boat, I didn't get property in time, I'll do the best I can in my urban area. You have not missed the boat. You are late to the game. Its not ideal, but you can still make changes if you want - just at a higher expense than what it would have cost 2 or 5 or 10 years ago. Woulda Could Shoulda. I almost bout $500 of bitcoin at $30. My wife said we have other needs for the money (and we did) Didn't happen. Can't change the past. Change the future. And no one ever feels "prepped" - there is always more to learn and do. To each their own, but I think you are better off making a mistake and/or paying too much on rural property than staying anywhere urban or suburban ( see Australia) Urban areas will be under attack by rebels in rural areas, and martial law (or gang rule) will reign in any urban area if SHTF. That is where the powers that be will concentrate their efforts at control in any event. A lot of people moving to FL, TX, Idaho, Wyoming, Kentucky, Tennessee. All have factors to recommend them, and detract from them. Its also very hard to gauge the "correct" population density. Too far from neighbors and you become easy pickings.. too many people and you become a target. Buying a property elsewhere sight unseen would probably be better than staying. If you need a loan to do it, then its not ideal.. but in the end you only own what you can stand over with a gun and there will be a lot of squatters and not a lot of police wiling to engage them-- and if things don't go to crap, you pay the loan like everyone else. Here is a short list of things to look for 1) a good well ( 10 gpm or better) and/or live water (spring etc) 2) septic 3) propane 4) Agriculture designation for Taxes and land use ( in some places this means a minimum of 40 or even 80 acres - and in others under 5 - a smaller place will be easier to protect. 5-15 acres is probably the sweet spot.. but even 1 acre with ag usage can be made to provide) 5) Solar or room to add solar ( a 6000 watt system runs around 20K if you install it -- and its easy) 6) soil type ( a county will have a map - usually online that will identify the types of soil available and what they are good for growing on any land you are looking to purchase) 7) existing fencing and/or cross fencing for livestock 8) existing water distribution to needed areas ( outdoor hydrants) 9) meet the neighbors - generally in a rural areas everyone helps everyone else - because the govt isn't coming. Always help the neighbors and they will always help you. Check out the local Sherriff as well - is he willing to ignore unconstitutional commands? 10) Root cellar or other cool underground storage for food 11) ideally a shop, a barn and hay storage as additional out buildings. 12) You will want a tractor - 35hp or bigger And if it all ends up being too late? so what - at least then you tried. And getting only half of your preps in place is better than 0 when SHTF. And don't despair - that is what they want you to do. Once you are executing a plan - you will be amazed at how much better you feel Last Edited by Weisshaupt on 10/21/2021 02:07 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80740570 United States 10/21/2021 02:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The fear that spreads in this place is driving me to suicide. I know there is shit to pay attention to, but all you assholes with your exclaimated headlines is getting to be too much. My life savings is in the bank, and there's nothing I can do about it. Should I go to my bank and ask for 3000 one hundred dollar bills? Where do I put it? Can I even get it? OP, hope you think about me as my brains are splattered across my room. Quoting: Jean-Luc Stockyard Everythings going to be ok. You won't lose your money. Go out in nature and breath deep. You are free. You are thoughtful and can figure this out. If you feel too sad or panicky it stops your brain from thinking clear, proven by science. A lot of the people here seem to almost want drama and terrible things to happen. Trust yourself to be the king of your castle and do your best. That is all you can do. You have something to work with so you are better off than most. Best wishes. There is so much to live for do it now..instead of stressing. |

Quoting: VampPatriot Do you think it’s just informational they always post these two stats? “Debt per Citizen” and “Debt per Taxpayer” There’s a bill coming, and they expect to enslave people who can’t pay. Don’t matter if you owe nothing and are debt free otherwise. That’s $86,000 per citizen, and $229,000 per tax payer and rising rapidly with inflation. I have noticed they do that. From my perspective it's just a meaningless but fun way to look at the debt. My portion of the national debt is $0. |
