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 remember books by an author in the 1960s and 1970s wanting people to go to Canada and homestead. He did well selling books.

Later I found the author was living in a condo in Los Angeles. Why dig in the dirt when you can write a book.

Reminds me of the old JUNK FOOD JUNKIE song of the 1970s.

You know I love that organic cooking
I always ask for more
And they call me Mr. Natural
On down to the health food store
I only eat good sea salt
White sugar don’t touch my lips
And my friends is always
Begging me to take them
On macrobiotic trips
Yes, they are
Oh, but at night I stake out my strongbox
That I keep under lock and key
And I take it off to my closet
Where nobody else can see
I open that door so slowly
Take a peek up north and south
Then I pull out a Hostess Twinkie
And I pop it in my mouth
Yeah, in the daytime I’m Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I’m a junk food junkie
Good lord have pity on me

You beat me to it! My first thought was Galt’s Gulch, too.

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 ...

there are whole neighborhoods of “ranchettes” near me configured like that


Yes it works now for a time but it eventually becomes a problem. I have witnessed this. Do as you please.

Of course, self-sufficiency on a small farm requires some brains and a lot of hard work. So that means a good percentage of the American population wouldn’t stand a chance. But some could do it. I am surprised that there seems to be no current “Back To The Land” movement.

The big problem with this is the lack of anything else. When everybody is spending all their time to be self-sufficient, there's no time for much else. Everyone's a farmer, every other profession, technological advance, etc disappears..
