I'd like to get in on that one day, it's definitely an interesting fallback plan that might just work in the end. is there a chance that if you've lived on the land long enough you get the land in your name?
We decided to make it the first plan and not a fall back, problem is it takes time to set up systems and get to self sufficiency. If you (and everyone else) suddenly realizes it’s time for the backup plan, it’s too late. We left at the first muttering in Congress of mandatory clot shots. I know people that think that living in the suburbs is ok because they have guns and survival seeds. It takes years to get a garden tuned and producing well. They will die long before that happens. Animal cycles are long too. Work the land, grow the food for the animals like pigs to produce delicious meat. I will put my ham or bacon up against anything at any price in the world, closest I’ve found is Iberico from Spain, but the prices are astronomical. People pay thosands for a single ham, have it for special occasions. We have it for breakfast many days.
As for the land, it’s cheap many places away from cities, we have full legal title to ours, simple transaction really,though it varies by country.
huh, you've given me alot to think about. I'm in the city and I'm well aware of how fast resources will deplete and how everyone is going to turn quickly into hungry dumb animals. it really wouldnt even matter if we had guns and a small garden going already. i mean, i've grown plants before and it just takes forever to grow. if theres not already plants in rotation there wont be any way to grow food fast enough to survive a self induced apocalypses
Exactly. Then you start counting how many calories you grow (actually harvest) and where your protein and fat come from. Then realize you have a temperate limited and 2/3 the year your living off stored food. That leads to serious discussion about over producing and food storage like canning and root cellars and such.
As I sit here eating fantastic home grown cured smoked ham, on fresh flatbread, with fresh goat cheese and veggies. All from here. And it’s better than any restaurant can buy.
