This works until the local government has to raise the valuation to drive enough tax revenue to pay the firemen, police and themselves. If your source of income doesn’t inflate at the same rate, for example as a full-time farmer who can charge $10,000,000 per bushel, you lose that property and the house.

Like you, I used to think land was the answer, if for no other reason that I could become a dirt farmer. But a look at Weimar Germany during the hyperinflation period is more apt that the US Depression period of the 1920’s.

Thus, the things to hold are the things you can MOVE. Compact stored food, tools, industrial metals (not just silver & gold), and your brain. If this can be stored on your land and you land made to look abandoned/uninhabited (including from the air), then you may be fine. Otherwise, a moter home and trailer might be the way to go.

You didn’t read my post did you? My wife and I already live in our motor home and we have a trailer behind. We could leave her tomorrow if needed. The trailer can easily contain the hydroponics systems that we would need to grow all we need for vegetables and the chickens with roosters produce fertile eggs that we can eat or hatch to grow meat. I can assure you that there will be no problem finding a place to park.
