“In the not too distant past there was always the idea you could fall back to the wilderness if you had too in times of extreme upheaval.

Now, if you even dared try it, you’d be shot on sight to protect any wild animals, or vegetation there from being bruised.

Actually, Alaska is sounding a lot better with each passing day. Somewhere about 500 miles from the nearest neighbor should be just about right.”

AMEN! I just wish I could sell out and get out of Northern NV, But I cannot, I am just too old, however I have lot’s of staples stored, lot’s of medical Supplies, and lot’s of ammo and mil grade weapons. I also have the training and back ground to use all of the above courtesy of the USN. SO it is stand and fight for me!!!

I hear ya. I’m not going to do it either, but I do see some real problems on the horizon.

I was looking into Alaska land a while back so I did some research - reading and communicating with some people and realtors there.

Although Alaska is huge in terms of land area only a relatively small portion is viable as rural or country homesteads. The federal government “owns” about 65% of the land in the state, much of which is land that was traditionally homesteaded or just squatted on.

From what I gather it is now almost impossible to find homestead or rural land in Alaska anymore as the Feds have stopped most (nmaybe all) homesteading and squatting. They have also been running people off many of the old hometeaded parcels and preventing transfer to new owners when the original or present resident dies or moves out.

I know we have some Alaska residents here on Free Republic who can provide more detail and more accurate info but the bottom line seems to be that it’s not easy to find land outside of cities and towns.
