Wood burning ovens?
Good ideas, all.
My own thoughts run along the lines of cultivating a group of trusted neighbors so that some of the less affordable things could be shared. I buy this, you buy that, they buy the other, and we share all of it among us so that we all benefit without having to bear inordinate -- probably prohibitive -- costs.
If I won the lottery I would be searching for the perfect people to bring to my little community I would build out in the sticks.
Veterans
Someone who knows how to raise a big garden/fruit trees
Someone who knows how to take care of cows/pigs/chickens
Someone who can keep a water well/waste system operating
Someone who knows about defense-shooting & such
Someone who knows about woodworking, metalworking and other things.
The community would include a large storehouse and underground bunkers. Each home would have a generator and large tanks connected to the water system so if the power went out we would have that much water available right there.
The storehouse would have two generators, one dedicated to a freezer to activate automatically upon an outage.
I would make sure we all had guns of common calibres such as .45 for pistols and AR-15’s for rifles.
I know I know.... you might say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one...
