the smart prepare for the fight, but also to avoid it as much as possible

I kind of mean that by local economy. We're doing the opposite of shutting ourselves off

We're trying to be the people everyone goes to when they need stuff so that way we can become an economic benefactor

thats what i would do

but i'll more then likely be that asshole who goes through the forests solo lmao

depends on the timeframe

Its possible to do

But its not easy

long term we hope to expand so that way we don't have to worry about petty infighting

have you boys looked into boats? or rivercraft?

any towns near a deep river?

In our area we don't really have enough rivers to make it a necessity

ah rivers are a great way to move alot of stuff quickly

We have water from them but they're not big enough to drive down

that's why i asked

not to mention hydroelectric

Yeah we have a close by area with a massive lake though

If we get there that could be ideal for water, movement of goods, etc.

yep, not only that water is a great natural barrier

Yeah

Theres a dam as well on the river

To our South

lol Hank Williams, Jr. - "Country Boys Can Survive" just came on

haha

nice

talk about ironic

Hooking up power, assuming we got a few thousand men together, would be easy

We just need the dam to get back online

@ManOWar. You need more water, just flex in front of the local females

lmao

you could but the maintaince on it might be more then its worth

I'm not sexy but maybe I can have my buds do it

Last time I did that it flooded 5 counties in my area

@Mr.Black Well there aren't really other options until you get gas

but a damn would be a hell of a place to set up shop purely for its defenses

We plan on getting solar but that only goes so far

ever heard of a gassifier?

Is that wood gas or am I thinking of something else

wood gas or anything carbon based

you can power cars with it if need be

When I'm talking about power, I mean like enough to power a bunch of people that are our partners. Solar and other things can help us
