I am at least 40 min from a town of around 10k and that's the closest.

Nice!!! My dad said don't move!!!

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.

My wife is great with crafting and is awsome with kids. She could run the daycare and help garden

If I'm single with no kids so that's not a problem. My mom would be willing to help since both of hers are grown up and she misses her little kids LOL how many of us have dogs? Better yet hunting dogs?

No hunting dog here. But would train one if needed. Miss me some pheasant hunting

I have 2 GSD's not sure how they would do with a ton of people though they are pretty protective especially of kids.

Well we would all have our own house, shouldnt be any more of an issue then what you encounter now.

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.

True and we can have fenced in yards
