Can't really grow my own food where I'm at

Ideally I’d like to move near water to take advantage of hydroelectric power

That would certainly be nice

I think my main option will be solar

I'll be near a water source though so it won't be bad

Just how good is solar? It seems to expensive to justify anything

Its great for energy but not cheap

But its not like you have a lot of options really

Theres that and wind pretty much

But wind is finnicky

How so

Depending on your area you may not get a lot of wind

Especially in the mountains

if you live in a plains state that wouldn't be so bad though

I’ve been told it needs to be really high to be effective

wind turbines?

I don't really know honestly

I'm only just getting into it.

We'll go a while in my area without getting wind due to the high pressure zones

That’s a no no

Yeah I know

I hope the Ozarks have a mountain breeze effect

How far out of civilization does one have to go to not be in constant threat

If you live in a mountainous area there are localized winds created from the cooling effects up there.

Well I'm really no expert. To an extent though you want to have civilization in your area

You want to be close enough where you are able to be within a community

But far enough to avoid the shitshow

Maybe

That community would have to be self sufficient though

Yeah that would be ideal

Otherwise it defeats the purpose

But any community is better than no community really

There's a book you might want.

"The self sufficient life and how to live it"

I think one thing I've seen in the gun community that reminds me of women is the obsession with brands

Its really stupid. People also bitch about the types of guns that are better

You're allowed to have preferences.

Of course

But people force their shit onto other people and act like cunts

Force their shit on others = express opinions strongly, right?
