I wish I had resources you got. Me, I got just me, and very few possessions. I have enough belongings that will fit nicely into a one bedroom home. And honestly, that’s enough. I don’t need a lot of stuff and only require what I need to survive day to day. So whenever my finances get figured out, and I find a nice to move to, I’ll get everything packed and move, hopefully to a nice secluded quiet place.

“I wish I had resources you got. Me, I got just me, and very few possessions.”

Wait... Let me share something extremely important. You have the best of the battle already won. The very first challenge is to break from social norms and become a serious minimalist with only a few very needed possessions to worry about dragging around with you. 90% of the battle to freedom is break the addiction of status symbols and toys. Most cannot and never will. You actually have 99% of the battle won already.

This is what I am doing now. We have sold off all our possessions except for the very minimal needed to survive. We are going mobile with just the van and a high clearance trailer to carry only what we need to get by in a survival situation. The property is paid for and the “cache” I speak of is just minimal tools and such we will need to survive fairly well in an off grid situation. Tools to work wood, metal, dirt, and Etc. That is all.

Since you are already a minimalist and almost there have you considered going mobile and living the RV lifestyle? Buy a cheap undeveloped plot of land in the mountains to park on and live the simple life away from society?
