All 3 of them? Come on.
Just like Jim Jones or David Koresh.
And therein lies the problem. Most would rather run away from the evil. Does nothing to stop the evil from expanding its reach.
The busybodies in DC will find them and regulate them to death. There is no desert too big for the busybodies.
I’m not sure the Utah desert is a good choice.
I was just re-reading “Five acres and Independence: A handbook for small farm management” by M.G. Kains. First published during the Great Depression (1935) it was re-published in 1973. It’s a serious book about self-sufficiency and it’s not a “Hippie Commune” handbook.
It seems to me that with improvements in seed genetics, technology, and energy, that it might not be too hard to establish a community of “Modern Amish” who would be willing to embrace any and all technology to make life better, but who really wanted to be left alone as much as possible. I think a lot of people want that sort of independence and I think modern technology would make it easier than ever.
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.
Add some room additions under ground..The temps stay real nice.
Beukalali is a tough guy to match, but I admire Honduras for trying and wish them the best.
In the desert in Utah????
You’d think they’d go for a more well watered environment.
Government loves this. They’re all together in one place. Fish in a barrel.
But the Association provides the grape cool aid. 😏
Someone should buy a lot close by and put up a 7-Eleven greedymart for all those who want to sneak out for a Slurpee and snack late at night.
What do they use for money?
A well and septic system on two acres might not be a good idea. Neighbor has to do the same. too close. septic is water use heavy.
Now a proper outhouse..........................
Great Googly Moogaly.
No, your only choice is not to grow all your own food just because you have happen to have a septic tank. Was this article written by a exceptionally moronic liberal or were a few words thrown into large language model and this nonsense vomited out?
The desert has obvious drawbacks but in a road warrior survival world living in a place that no one wants to wander to has its advantages if you want to avoid the masses.
When the system is broken not many people want to head for the desert on the off chance they may find some little something worth expending all those resources and taking all the risks to possibly come across something of little use.
Only for the wealthy. That lets me out.
And when you need a doctor and a hospital?
Pretty dry country out there. I’ll want to see how many people are still there 10 years from now.
Hmmm... Septic systems and water wels in the same place...
Gee, what could go wrong...
I'm honored.....
