What state. Water may be easier or harder depending where you are. Also, old school wind mill water pumps are still on use in many Midwest farms and ranches.
As far as electric, again, depending where you are, solar will be your best bet. If your in a place like the Pacific north west where it rains 300 days a year, diesel backup is almost a must. I've seen homesteaders in Alaska that use solar panels fitted on a storage container for their power. It's not like on demand electric in a city, and you need to plan your usesge but it's normally enough to keep devices charged and keep led strips active.
I know its wishful thinking but I would like to start one in CA. But I'm open minded and wouldnt mind considering other states or anywhere with the most optimal conditions to start a homestead at. I would proffer no snow and high temps under 100*. Oh yeah! the science behind those windmill powered water pumps havnt changed, I bet there are kits or online instruction manuals on how to make one nowadays one can get.
CA...ooooohhhboy...ok well your biggest issue isn't tech, it's ordinances and permits to build the fucking things. Truth be told you'd be better in Nevada or Arizona if that is what you wanted.
Hell, electric generation in that state is so heavily regulated now, I'm not even sure you can HAVE panels off grid. You'll need to do homework to see what Comiefornia allows and considera legal. I know when I left, rain water collection was made illegal, so that avenue is out.
Damn, thought as much though. I came back to my homestate to try and save it then shit hit the fan and now it's starting to feel illegal to even exist in the state unless youre pumping good money into their tax farm. fucking bullshit
in CA
Lol, aaaaannnd you're not serious. Thanks for playing. Enjoy your enslavement. You can't even catch your own rain water.
Why do you people in the north and blue states insist on punching yourselves in the balls, metaphorically speaking.
Move somewhere that actually gives a shit about you for fucks sake. Everything else is easier.
Well, whenever you guys decide to chop off the limb that is CA because you don't want to waste your life fighting for it, you will doom the USA. CA is one of the most important geographical locations in the USA. lose CA entirely and the enemy won't hesitate to choke out the rest of the USA. Not including the ca population, Innocent people will die and ultimately become slaves as well because of people who are willing to let the deep state control and manipulate CA and ultimately the way it's viewed. The USA is under attack, and letting CA go because you fell for the propaganda will leave the USA critically vulnerable. Purge the evil, purge the immigrants, cleanse the schools, reclaim CA, don't lose a state as big as some countries with unlimited potential and don't laugh it off because no matter where you are in the USA, this will effect you. CA is a high priority target for sabotage. No matter who was in control of CA originally, it was doomed to be the target of an enemy.
Remove degeneracy, greatly reduce the population here, go full Turner Diaries on this bitch, and the white people would chill and begin the healing process.
If you're not a US citizen, I could really care less of what you have to say in response.
It is doable in commiefornia. If you are in the northern part, Mendocino county or higher, the regulations are light. If you plan and do some research, you can find properties with springs on them. Solar works well for smaller homes. If you are in the bay area rules and fees will kill any project. farther south I am unfamiliar with. Good luck.
Thank you and thanks for the tips :) I have seen some pretty properties for sale up north, some with beautiful surface water, springs or rivers
