I want to do that, i love working the land, sounds like fun :D i think the trick is to not go 100% off grid because the government will always know where you are, and if no one else does it will make it easy dispose of "lone wolves" or lone wolf families
Easy, pick a country that doesn’t care. There are many, land is affordable, people are friendly, weather is good. Excluding some cellular data for internet, we are totally off grid. Our road doesn’t show on maps, it has no name. Garden is mostly in, starting earth work for a house last week. All of it by hand, though excavators are plentiful if we wanted to hire one.no plans, no permits, no councils, no interference. We want it, we build it.
that sounds so cool, i would worry about investing alot of time and money into an offgrid-ish location like that and do whatever i want only the carpet pulled from under me randomly.
grats on the garden coming in!
It’s a risk anywhere, but as a rule, if you pick a government that doesn’t have the resources to do so, they have more important things to do. I feel so much safer here than anywhere in the us I’ve lived. Had old boy network city council deny permits for building and improving, had nonexistent non endangered animal claims for land non use, well permits clawed back after being in service for 15 years because ‘natives’, zoning ordinances nighmares, told I couldn’t live on my land in my rev while I built the property because reasons, told I couldn’t use the water on my property and had to use city water with fluoride and shit because something something the environment….
After a lifetime of having it all yanked out from under me, I left. I wake up with the sun, I build for my family, my time is mine alone. It’s unbelievable how unstressed a regular life of work for oneself can be,
