If you're in a dry forest remember defensible space!

(for fires)

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Build it in the Appalachians away from tornadoes

cellars are a good idea for disasters both natural and man-made

The gorgeous cabin we really wanted to rent for winter had a yurt and a river in the backyard.

@missliterallywho rent to another IR member!

Yeah but that defeats the purpose of a yurt, at that point you might as well build a full house

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN We didn't get it 😔

Hubs didn't have a job lined up yet when we applied.

Just live in PA. We don't have to worry about tornados here

MT > PA (or most of the east coast tbh)

A yurt on top of a cellar (for nuclear winter)

Eastern forests have ticks that make you disabled, vegan, or retarded (seems redundant but they are actually three different diseases)

Then again the ticks are spreading

@missliterallywho exactly

Oh god ticks are terrifying. Flicked one off from behind my ear after a hike once. NEVER AGAIN

Can't archive this one, because there's audio, but wow, this is basically half an hour of the New York Times substantiating, despite themselves, some of the most fundamental counter-Semitic "tropes" (read: empirical observations): https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/30/podcasts/the-daily/american-anti-semitism-shooting-synagogue.html

If I had to have a basement in my yurt, this one would be alright

Ticks aren't an issue if you're careful. I've been hiking for years with no problems. If you do get a tick bite, be sure to get tested for lyme immediately though

Seen college rugby players and skilled ballerina turned into cane walking infirms via Lyme disease

Lyme can be treated, but it's easier if it's caught early and it technically never leaves the body. It just goes dormant

I never had an issue with ticks, mostly just walking face first into spider webs with lots of spiders on them

We thought we wanted to live in a tiny house, even with kids, until we spent my pregnancy in a very small rental. No thanks! I need space to spread out, and cooking in a tiny kitchen is awful.

@Virgil I know that feel. Even on a busy trail I hit the untouched higher-up webs

With all due respect to Southron friends, gotta live in a place with real winters

@Virgil bruh stop crawling through bushes lmao

need a month or too bug free. Such as in Europe

We get all four seasons here, sometimes all in one week

I like a good -25F evening

It was in the 80s then the 50s the same week

The mid-Atlantic is a nice region. I liked Colorado when I went out there, but I'd rather not live in the Rockies. Too much snow and too few white collar job opportunities apart from Denver

North Great Lakes, Northern New England, or northern Rockies for me. Or Oklahoma for family reasons

I don't know where I'd want to live or work that's not for white flight reasons

@fgtveassassin yeah I love Cascadia but they are an election or two from California tier laws and Antifa is allowed to act as deputy police

Yeah the portland antifa are wild

In theory, concentrating in Montana could give white advocates a chance to network and even gain some political power. The idea has been floated for a long time.

id be down for Montana

Plan to get property there in a few years when time allows

we need to economically build up a network in MT

IE entrepreneur team, lets talk.
