I like to think of it as being proactive. I dont want to wait until the SHTF, if this can happen it will set us all up for life. We do need to think local first. Somewhere out of fallout range of any "target". Weather doesnt bother me but the wife is a no-go for desert.

The ouchitas do provide great weather. Snow is rare, maybe once a year. I am not a huge fan of AR but thats city life. The Ouchita forest is beautiful.

Thats all good here as well but would rather go more North with bigger mountains. I think its almost unavoidable to find good mountains with good fishing and no snow. I mean its 100% doable in CA but I dont think thats a feasible local. Oregon or Washington may be better.

I think if you stay out of the desirable areas you can find land for a decent price. Funding IS the big issue. I am willing to labor away sun up to sun down but have no money right now.

Mild is not how I would describe the winter days I have been in Idaho lol but it is at the top of my list for sure. Land can be had for reasonable costs.

My place in minnesota would be great its 70+ acres and If it comes down to it I think it would be a great place. River on two sides a moraine on the third and a paved road with an easily blown bridge on the fourth. Also great soil clean water only 30' down and the cold is only bad maybe a week that could be the repopulation week lol.

No unfortunately I am on the outskirts of a small town it was a fixer upper we were going to spend 5 years in that was 7 years ago. I really want to build on it this spring but I am afraid that they will explode the taxes soon and I would lose the house and the land then.

Well I would think that if we really want to do this we will have to buy land, even if its from Greaser to protect everyones interests. The legal aspect should be very simple. If someone wants to tie a bunch of stuff up in words on paper then I dont really want to "survive" with them.

I agree. Maybe equal voting rights would be good or we have the properties divided up in away that folks are happy and are all secure, I still believe that when I give My word I keep it. I'm just not sure what would need to be set up if anything legally

Since it seems no one can buy the property out right maybe we set up a corporation and we all are voting members or something

I agree buying land and making everyone an equal partner would be the easiest way to get I going, my area has turkey pheasant ducks geese quail deer bear rabbit squirrel all fish and I am sure a few more food stuffs I am missing.

At some point we need to crunch some numbers on people per acre that could be supported and how many people are serious about this. I believe this would be great for me. How's the economy and job market in your area?

My dad is retired LEO military and has construction skills. He has a bunch off college degrees but I'm not sure what they all are. My mom is a occupational therapist and can garden bake sew and can her produce. We can hunt and process game and farm critters and my dad and I love to shoot. My mom need some practice but she isn't to bad.

I have my gsp she loves to hunt but she was the first dog I trained so she is a little ruff around the edges when it comes to hunting. But she LOVES PEOPLE AND THINKS SHE IS A KID SO SHE LOVES TO SPEND TIME WITH THEM.

[censored] you're all starting to sound really serious about this <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
The whole "independent nation" might just be a pipe dream, I doubt the US would let you do anything like this. Buying an island somewhere might be a better option.
How would you deal with state/federal laws you don't agree with, etc? It could become a new Waco.

No we STAY LEGAL AND LEGIT. NO CRAZY ILIGAL THINGS. We would look more like a Small suburb than a compound but when SHTF we roll out the razor wire.

Well then location is pretty important, you want somewhere state law fits your ideas the most.
New Hampshire maybe? Land is probably expensive there though.

another idea would just for it to be a bug out location. Some folks could live there full time and others could stage supplies and stuff.

At some point we need to crunch some numbers on people per acre that could be supported and how many people are serious about this. I believe this would be great for me. How's the economy and job market in your area? There are jobs for people willing to work but most are manual labor.

I'm not sure we could standardize all weapons maybe three possible options you can chose from for rifle AK AR FAL and I'm not sure we can do that with side arms

I think we are serious about it for the most part. Could it happen, yes. Will it happen, who knows.
I am constantly trying to better my families life and will work whatever it takes to get there. Right now unfortunately my reality is that here in AR no one is willing to pay employees what they are worth. I have over 12 years experience in granite countertops and cant find a job for more then 15 an hour, its sad. But at the same time I can get a labor job pushing a broom with no responsibility for 12 an hour.
I would much rather work 12+ hour days building a future for my family. Whether its with a group or by myself. Not having sons, the group sounds better. My little brother is on board to help me when he can but he has his own life to live.
So yes I want something like this to happen in my life.

Yes they are, I think fresh food will be hard to come by for a lot of people and will allways be something to barter. Heck just being able and WILLING to work with your hands will be of great value. How many folks honestly know what it takes to build a sound structure to live in by themselves with no help? let alone grow their own food, people do need some help and a small group makes a lot of sense too me. Know your neighbors <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well we need to seriously consider this and we ALL need to see when where and how this could happen. Everyone start looking for land, we need to consider state and local laws, taxes, environment, population in those areas BE CAREFUL WITH OPSEC.

The great thing is if we have cattle we can fertilize the gardens. We will need fuel storage tanks and a tractor or two to help us with work. Eventually it would be cool if we could get a few draft horse teams for a green work force

Yep but it takes a little time for some stuff to break down. I wonder how many would want to position supplies but not live there??? And how many families/ people are we going to support?

I use that for frozen meat it cuts way down on freezer burn. Dry food can be kept almost indefinitely with it also.

I also agree that there is a line that to many people would really stand out. But lots of hands for work and security are nice.

Need lakes and streams for fishing, fertile ground for crops. The Missouri Ozarks has all that. No BIG mountains, but some rather large "Hills" Good country, lakes, rivers, streams and farmland for crops and livestock. PLUS a lot of folks there are already know how to productively use the land. Lot of areas that are not "Taken" by already built up communities. Might I suggest something around Van Burean or Eminence. (just google them) Roughly halfway across the country so ALL the dogs from East to West and North to South would all not have to travel across the entire country. PLUS if we all showed up en mass we cold just take over. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh and Might I add that there are a lot of mules around in this area. Mules equal NOT needing mechanized (motor powered) equipment. And there are Amish and Mennonites around in this area as well that could help with a lot of things. IF the Dogs proved to be good neighbors I'm sure they would help and welcome the influx of additional Like minded individuals and for the security as well.
Oh yeah, there are also a bunch of "Campsites" on the river(S) that have individual "Cabins" in small groups.

In Missouri you can own Fully automatic weapons, Suppressed weapons, and we have concealed carry. Oh and Now you can legally have and carry Switchblades as best as I can remember!

Oh I forgot to add, IF we "Took over" Van Burean we would have a virtually unlimited water source via "Big Springs" it averages 288 MILLION gallons of water a day output. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHFUX14CoMkThere is also a smaller one not to far away (6 miles outside Eminence)called alley springs which flows 81 million gallons of water a day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKvPSebFIlI

Probably a lot like your up there Mike. We're somewhat South of you. The growing season is conducive to all sorts of crops/truck gardens and the winters aren't really severe. Oh it gets cold, but not where you can't cope with it with just a little prep and it doesn't stay there long.

Why doesnt everyone list a top 3 in order from first choice. No reasons needed, just a list. Maybe a clear location will arise.
1. Montana 2. Idaho 3. Arkansas

I am good with any of them really. Think it will come down to the best spot available for the best price

I pass tons of property for sale on my drives. I passed a few places in Montana today that had water access (streams) for a few grand an acre. Idaho has a lot too. I think most of these places aren't listed on line, but if you want, I will start taking pictures of the signs as I drive by. Too busy driving to write the numbers down <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
