I have a friend who’s a green beret who is shockingly honest about the things he saw, did and experienced during the GWOT (global war on terror).

I asked him once how he can be so candid and he told me “that shit is like poison dude, you gotta get it out”

It was a good reminder that whatever “terrible secret” is festering inside, you should probably just say it out loud and be free of it.

Agreed, you are all just early.

I don’t need a ton of people to like a thing to recognize that it’s cool af. Followers need to be told what’s cool. If you are here now, you probably don’t need that outside validation either. You are the tip of the spear.

i tend toward being a “do it now” kind of a person. but i as popular as “this is the way” is today, i don’t believe that. each path is relative to start point. if there is “a way”, is has to do with radical honesty with yourself and God, and choosing based on the actual desires of your heart. That kind of honesty can be challenging, because many times we have no idea how to get where we really want to go, and are afraid to step out on the water. So we live in the world of plan B and call it “practical”. Maybe it is, maybe it isnt. It all depends on being brutally honest with yourself.

“I dont have the drive to go through the difficultly of getting to that place” is something worth admitting so you can plan without shame and dishonesty. Admitting “id rather die that live in a slave system” is also worth admitting, so you know what motivates you. Honest to the core is the start point that will sustain you through the bullshit.

That depends on where you want to live an how you want to live.

Land prices vary widely.

Ive taken a couple runs at writing something universal, and it just doesnt exist. This kind of thing varies so widely based on where you want to live, how you are comfortable living, etc.

But if I was young and single, i might try something like this...

buy and build out a van to live in. not fancy, functional, with everything. power, water, simple compost toilet, everything you need. then i would buy the land. the van serves as a way to live on the land immediately if you want to, or enables you to spend blocks of time on it as you figure it out.

it also enables you to just leave for a period of time if you have to.

There are a bunch of ways to do this. But the most important thing IMO about living like this is finding a place where you wont be bothered. That means counties that are more lenient, or have a small enforcement budget. meaning, they dont bother people unless there is a complaint. which leads to the next important factor... neighbors. if your neighbors are freedom lovers, and you dont live in a high traffic area, you can do alot without being bothered. this is key.

Living off grid is not hard now, systems being what they are. The hard part is avoiding the bureaucracy.

Living off the land is possible, but requires pretty serious dedication. The real art form would be finding a way for the land to pay for itself. I think a combination of part time work, or seasonal work is not a bad way to go. We have been surprised how little is actually needed to live comfortably. Alot of what you think you need, you dont. And there is great freedom in simplicity.

If you have more specific questions, i can take a shot at answering them.

You would not believe just how much bureaucracy is built on top of you living in a simple structure on your own land.

The entire bureaucratic system is built to siphon off as much wealth as possible from you, in order to sustain and grow itself.

The real reasons for expensive housing, and lack of opportunity is not about rich people, gentrification, or any of the propaganda reasons you are sold to give government more power. The real source of limitation is the bureaucracy itself.

what book have you read that you loved, that no one else talks about?

The “American dream” is a fiat debt trap:

$100,000- College

$30,000- Wedding

$900,000- Home

$50,000- Car

The fiat system traps people in their 20’s so they have to spend the next 45+ years with a job to pay off debt.

America does not run on Freedom… it runs on consumer debt.

for the good of the protocol I will be reducing caps usage going forward
