it never goes well

Thats the thing about systems. The better the system the better the community

And along with that, the less people want to steal from each other and shit

true but every system has to enforce laws witch then pisses off some groups

Thats another thing, we want to have people be so dependent that they don't war

Division of labor and a local economy helps with that

true

We'll be setting up a machine shop and we're working on powering it too. That will be great for the local area

If people can buy and sell goods then they have no need to steal them

To be clear, I'm no expert, and I'm sure there will be fighting. You are entirely correct. We're just trying to find ways to avoid that

i think one thing you should think about is trading with the near by towns in a shtf situation after all a local economy is great but shutting yourself off from the outside completely is a good way to create animosity

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
