The Daily Mail ^ | 14 January 2013 | Daniel Miller

Hundreds of families have signed up to join a new community dubbed the Citadel, an armed and 'defensible' fortress city where their freedoms and liberty will be fiercely protected.

Organisers have outlined plans for a community of 3,500 to 7,000 families of 'patriotic' Americans in western Idaho and more than 200 have already signed up through their website.

The group has already purchased 20 acres in the area where they intend to build an arms factory which will be used to fund the project.

It's Idaho. Every basement is an ammo factory and the world is your shooting range!

The Branch Davidians already tried this concept.

I don’t like the walls. And how will this stockade be governed? Will it get its own zip code?

Each to their own, but I refuse to live that close to there and in a Fort.

It is bad enough that my wife and I have recently decided to install steal hangers to allow us to bar the doors.

I recently bought a 12 GA Remington 870 and all of the stuff it takes to make it into a ‘home defense’ gun.

Having said that, I think Idaho would be a very good state to live in.

Unless you are retired or independently wealthy, this would have to be a bug-out location. Most people live where the jobs are and for most professionals those are in highly urbanized areas. This site appears to be akin to a walled medieval town with the agricultural areas being outside the walls. Otherwise, they would need an extensive greenhouse or aquaponics infrastructure.

“Radical Community” plans to set up enclave where they will act like Americans of the first 150 years of our history.

HOW RADICAL. (Sarcastic)

Depends on where it is in Idaho. I have an aunt and uncle near Boise whose home is close to a geothermal vane. They heat a fairly large house for next to nothing, mostly a maintenance fee for the conduit.

Their entire neighborhood does the same. It can be 10 below outside and their homes are a balmy 72 degrees inside. A control device which regulates the opening on the conduit keeps it within a couple of degrees.

There is a lot of this stuff which goes on in Idaho and most of the residents keep tight-lipped about it. They don't want a bunch of damn hippies moving in and ruining a good thing.
