I'll do the opposite then. Just camp out nearby and start lurking around
so in Maine there's land for 300,000/750 acres
that's roughly 400 per acre
that's a crazy good deal
3000 for 7.5 acres, which is what each of us could get if this is everyone
and that's enough to be sustainable
I'd say if everyone saved up/loaned each other 10,000 we'd all bet set
I have my heart set on MT/ID tho
They have way more Mountains
if only the Californians didn't raid CO there'd be some good land here too
@OOX of Flames I live near a pretty large town/towns so no village starting required:)
yeah I like that strategy
so you can be as close to town as you want to be
but everyone's still at most a half hour or so out
Exactly
so we could still meet up once a month or participate in politics
You plan on driving 30-40 minutes to go visit people but it's not bad.
For sure. We meet up with a couple families once a month just for that. Fellowship with like-minded people.
I know 3 men who are currently running, or have already ran and won, in the local politics.

wow that's beautiful
46 acres
still awesome
needs moar trees
lots of grazing for cattle though:)
wonder about water...
Seems to be about 1000 per acre in idaho
Would it be too invasive to ask for everyone's savings at some point?
or we could start some online website like gofundme where there's no time limit and we just keep socking money away in it with no risk involved?
the money issue is a big one
we have some savings put away for this, but it's for our own piece of land
putting it all into a pool and then divvying it up almost always leads to tension and animosity
we might have better luck achieving a point of saturation within a region
in other words, we all move up to a general location, all within a half hour drive to a smallish town, or something like that
so we each buy our own lots in places that fit our own budgets
I think that works better than a "commune." Mostly because of the animosity thing:) Dividing a big chunk of land, 200-300 acres, with 2-3 families would probably be doable.
why would we pool money?
it's a common thing people who do this kind of thing tend to do
