Americans sick of the 'cultural revolution' under Joe Biden are setting up incredible off-grid city in the DESERT hundreds of miles away from civilization with their own government and courts... and offer chilling prediction for the future of the country

I found a place in a tiny, rural TN town (pop 2000) and moved there. That was two years ago, and it’s been a most positive experience.

“You’d think they’d go for a more well watered environment.”

the full article says a massive underground aquifer lies 80 below the surface of the entire site ... otherwise, building in the desert would be insane ...

two acres is plenty for a septic system ... the real trick for any co-existing well on such a small site is that it has to draw from an independent aquifer that is MUCH than the surface septic leach field, AND to make sure the well is cased, with the casing fully sealed by completely grouting it ...

Yes. It’s probably like that in most counties ... required distance.

finding out your chicken only lays one egg at a time and not in a cardboard box with 11 others will be a eye opener

Finding out the hard way that snakes love to frequent chicken coops.   Getting the nerve to crack the snake like a whip to snap their heads off, then realizing that's the best way to handle the problem, takes more nerve.

Ah, no.   I have never done it myself with any snake but relatives of the previous generations have.

Mom loved to tell a story on my Great Uncle, George, in Oklahoma.   Years before this he had let the rope wrap around his wrist while he was roping a steer and his hand was pulled off.   I remember he never said much and always kept the stump of his wrist tucked into the bib of his overalls.

One day he was helping Aunt Olive by getting some eggs in and found a snake there in the coop.   He grabbed the tail of the snake and took it outside, then just like cracking a bullwhip he drew his arm back, threw his arm forward like a pitcher in the major leagues and popped the head off of the snake.   But right at that moment, he felt something cold and wet fall down into his boot.

Well, he couldn't pull his boot off with only one hand, so he walked gingerly back to the house and got help to get his boot off.   They found it was just his pocket knife that had fallen through a hole in the pocket of his bib overalls.

Lol, good story, I know some do it but rattlers are so quick.

Well, they got out of the city, but they didn’t get away from the HOA.

Hidy hole for well healed trust funded babies.

Many of who likely pull down $40K an month. They have so much money they may not cash their checks for many months.
