Maybe we can pick a specific small town next to one of these cities

2017-10-10 21:46:03 UTC  

like maybe a half hour or so away

2017-10-10 21:46:21 UTC  

so people could still commute if they want to

2017-10-10 21:46:58 UTC  

something like that

2017-10-10 21:47:05 UTC  

well potlatch is about 15 mils from Moscow ID

2017-10-10 21:47:43 UTC  

bingo... found it!

2017-10-10 21:47:46 UTC  

this is our home.

2017-10-10 21:47:47 UTC  

lol

2017-10-10 21:48:07 UTC  

it looks like its entirely sparse suburbs

2017-10-10 21:49:18 UTC  

and it doesnt looks like theres any farming going on there, probably for a good reason

2017-10-10 21:49:55 UTC  

another one we have considered is Mossy Rock WA

2017-10-10 21:50:04 UTC  

or any town in that valley

2017-10-10 21:50:40 UTC  

interesting choice

2017-10-10 21:52:22 UTC  

We gotta think about the economic opportunities if this thing is going to have any legs

2017-10-10 21:52:43 UTC  

we can grow food pretty much anywhere if we're in a good grow zone

2017-10-10 21:53:16 UTC  

this is good tho, it's good we disagree somewhat on this, and that we have different things we're looking for

2017-10-10 21:53:39 UTC  

the reason I like it is because its not very populated, has great natural obstacles, lots of freshwater and timber as well as a few dams

2017-10-10 21:53:40 UTC  

it's going result in making a better decision in the end

2017-10-10 21:53:52 UTC  

those are important considerations

2017-10-10 21:54:11 UTC  

It does look like a place you could go full Varg

2017-10-10 21:54:21 UTC  

which is where I eventially want to end up

2017-10-10 21:54:22 UTC  

downside is its a bit expensive

2017-10-10 21:54:56 UTC  

but its probably expensive for a reason, like the good climate and rainfall

2017-10-10 21:55:07 UTC  

full Varg?

2017-10-10 21:55:20 UTC  

oh right

2017-10-10 21:55:22 UTC  

that dude

2017-10-10 21:55:23 UTC  

Yeah you know Varg Vikernes

2017-10-10 21:55:54 UTC  

he's always preaching to people to live a more traditional lifestyle away from collapsing civilization, have lots of kids, become self-reliant, etc.

2017-10-10 21:56:50 UTC  

some people here have talked about wanting to go full log cabin wilderness survivalits. It's not my cup of tea but I do want to accomodate them

2017-10-10 21:57:38 UTC  

Yeah that's why I feel like moving next to a small city (pop 25k -50k or so) would be best

2017-10-10 21:57:50 UTC  

I want to be self reliant, but i like some of the benefits of civilization

2017-10-10 21:57:59 UTC  

because you would attract people who want to be part of the community, but want to be more isolated, they can just move further away

2017-10-10 21:58:02 UTC  

25-50k is big though

2017-10-10 21:58:27 UTC  

it can be lower

2017-10-10 21:58:30 UTC  

like 10k

2017-10-10 21:58:36 UTC  

Sandpoint is a good place for that

2017-10-10 21:58:46 UTC  

you cant really have influence of a town that big

2017-10-10 21:58:57 UTC  

I think it's possible

2017-10-10 21:59:11 UTC  

it depends on how big you dream, how charismatic you are
