GuestAs politics continue to divide the nation the only rational choice is to move to more rural areas and become as self sustaining as possible.
Can we discuss homesteading tips? How does one achieve this lifestyle with no experience? How much does decent property cost?
Not sure if this helps but I’ve started collecting encyclopedias for gardening, fishing, etc while trying to put it into practice.

GuestThis is why all my zillow searches include a filter for waterfront property. Great video.
Imagine the feds finding out you have a hydro turbine and a ram pump set up in your little creek or river. They are going to harass you to no end.
I’m going to throw in a big tip. My father was a hydraulic engineer, he had to deal with the Army Corps of Engineers (the specifically harassed people that reclaimed wet lands, often to debt and suicide!)
There are many laws associated with messing with water, BUT, if you do it right, then they cant touch you.
Example; Wetlands are defined by the ‘plants’ that grow, you cant remove them yourself, but if an animal, say a goat ‘removed’ them, then there is no violation of the law.For water, if you make an addition that *improves* the ‘habitat’ of an "endangered species", then they can’t order you to remove it, because YOU would be violating the law.
That brings me to the "Trompe". This is a gravity powered hydraulic air compressor, it compresses and cleans air into cold compressed air. This can be directed to a small turbine generator, or into an insulated box for free refrigeration.
OR
into a workshop for air powered tools!
OR
into your ‘organic pool’
OR
into your sewage treatment system!

GuestDrive west of Nashville about an hour. You will be able to find property on a hill side for less than $1000 an acre. You need about 5 acres for one family for sustainable wood heat and power. Set up a chicken hutch, and grow a garden. You will be working 12 hour days and will need to be able to buy food for the first 2 years, but after that you have your homestead.
Make your first house a shack or a tree fort.
You will want a deck area, as any sort of level ground will feel comfortable compared to hill side.

Guest>19% non white
I guess you gotta take what you can get. The Butler Plan is a reasonable solution if more people know about it.
>30% non white
Always has been
>25% non white
Last one
>14% non white
All of this is cope, all of you will end up race mixing in a handful of generations and this whole idea will be scrapped over and over again as it already has been. Each time it goes from being somewhat prominent to less prominent more of the non whites have been born in higher rates and less whites care about it.
Not only in a handful of generations will almost all these people be mixed, but this entire cringe PNW white ethnostate will be forgotten. It would have been good a long time ago, but now the internet has spread knowledge too far.
The age of separate homogeneous races is over and will continue to be until the next major cataclysmic event.

GuestIf we never got an ethnostate and globohomo won there will still be separate races. There is plenty of historical precedence to imply that individual groups can live outnumbered in societies and not be absorbed or muddled. Forever. All the way up until genetic alteration renders such classification obsolete.

There’s no historic precedence for the amount of brainwashing currently masquerading as entertainment and news. Though ultimately I feel you’re got a point, it’s only due to the fact that not everybody caves to brainwashing.-

GuestYou literally described where I live. 1 hour west of Nashville is Hickman county. Its beautiful but you are wrong about the real estate prices.
Before covid, yeah, it was about 1k an acre, its pushing 15k an acre now. The word is out. Everyone is leaving Nashville because its being overrun by liberal refugees from Los Angeles.
I got 10 acres out here and I am about to buy 5 more adjacent. Got three kids and one one the way. Homesteading is the true woke af and red-pilled life. If you can achieve it (and you can if you aren’t a lazy scrote) you will understand.

GuestI’ve been trying to get a small rural place for the past couple of months and even managed to tour one in person but a lot of people seem to have the same idea
Even in remote villages, soon as a listing goes up anywhere the landlord is flooded with applications from what i’ve seen
I’ll keep looking though because i literally don’t have any other choice either, entering a homeless shelter or anything of the sort would entail a risk of being force-vaxxed in my situation

No it is not, gas yourself you worthless garden gnome scrote.What the hell? I have 40 chickens and it takes me 10 minutes once a week. And only because I want the manure and straw for the biogas tank, otherwise I would just do deep litter and only clean it out once a year.

GuestYou lads talking about chickens yet?
Chickens is the way. Get yourself a few girls to start. You’ll be giving food away before you know it.
The damned things practically care for themselves, but you’ll have trouble keeping away from the cute scrotees all the same.
The kids play with them. Everyone gets the satisfaction that comes with caring for them. Then you get more eggs than you know what to do with.
Couldn’t ask for much more.
But you can. Put a rooster in the mix and you get unlimited meat as well. Damn fine set up.-

GuestRabbits are a meme. You will die if all you do is eat rabbit (no really look it up, rabbit starvation). Too little fat.
If SHTF you arent going to Walmart to buy bottles of oil. Its better to raise more chickens or a slightly larger mammal than to focus on rabbits which consume the same food as you instead of eating the weeds like goats, or insects/grass. Sources of food that don’t impact your own gardens.-

GuestI have 40 acres in TN – just getting started (with a mortgage I’m working to pay off unfortunately). I have deer who come through and also rest/ruminate in a field nearby. The problem is they bring along ticks like crazy (along with the field mice and rodents of course). My plan has been to raise dorper sheep, and I set up a 5 acre corral, but THE TICKS are annoying as fuck and I’m concerned they’re gonna be all over the sheep.
I was thinking about letting a bunch of Guinea fowl run loose and eat the ticks but since I’m at the top of a ridge there are hawks always circling and eating people’s chickens. Also there are some bobcats. I’m not sure what to do about it.. how can I protect Free ranging chickens? Should I just get a shit-ton and see how long they all survive?

GuestI thought about that. I can open the windows of my house and shoot them with a crossbow as they come through. My house is at the edge of the forest, so turkeys and deer walk along that forest line a lot for whatever reasons.
Thing is, it doesn’t matter if it’s sheep or deer – either will host the ticks. They need to be eradicated at a different cycle. The chickens should eat up the ticks on the ground but they are weak to flying predators (hawks and eagles). I’m thinking of putting the coop in the tree canopy so the chickens can be more safe from aerial attack.. kek. But then again the hawks have such good vision they’ll know what’s up, and they will (and have in the case of neighbors) swoop down and leave nothing but feathers in the grass.
I might just get a bigass coop with wheels and drag it around every day to a new spot or something, then occasionally let them free range. And then I’m gonna get a bunch of bucket traps for the field mice. The field mice and squirrels are the bastards that help the ticks continue to exist.
I have tick paranoia now after getting them on me. Life would be so much better without them.. to roam the forest and brush without thinking about it at all..

I’ve hiked through areas so infested with ticks you couldn’t count the ones on your pant leg with both hands; you could sit on bare ground and watch the horde approach. Didn’t get bit then, only ever been bitten by a tick twice in my life. Just don’t ignore any tickling sensations on your legs and you’ll be fine.

GuestMy wife and I are doing this. We see the writing on the wall. We have land in the woods with a nice modest house. Currently gardening as we build. Next step is chickens. Biggest thing we need is solar panels. Once we have those we are completely off grid except internet. I highly recommend this lifestyle. I work from home so it works out very well.

GuestLearn how to raise chickens. The initial setup is really cheap, as are the birds. With a dozen laying hens you will have an excess of protein for at least two years, if you keep them laying during the winter. After that you can slaughter them for meat, and start a new flock.
Let them free range. They’ll basically find their own food most of the time, and are great for tick control. They produce a pretty good fertilizer, too. -

GuestStart small with gardens and chickens. You also don’t need large amounts of acres to have a homestead, and if you do end up with large amounts of land that are considered "agricultural" by the government, you will be fined massively if you don’t use it for structures or crops.

This is solved by renting the field to a local hay farmer. Your dairy cow is fed for free or extremely cheap & you don’t haveto buy/maintain haying equipment. Agricultural land also comes with cheaper taxes. -

I thought about that as well. If that were the case it would be pretty cool. New York (state) also has many farms for sale. I would like to live remote but still near enough civilization that my future kids have some playmates etc. so moving somewhere where everybody seems to flee from might not be the best bet.-

GuestNew York state is a beut m8 but those mountains can really cut off the small communities. I have been to upstate but live in rural Dixie. From my experience Upstate has a lower pop density and it really feels like it where as in the southern states it feels really rural but the forest hides larger communities. "civilization" is also way easier to access on a southern interstate highway than the twisty elevated highways in New York state. Just something to think about.
Yes i know the whole state isn’t mountainous but at least half and the best parts i saw were mountainous.-

Forget it. Land is surprisingly scarce in Alaska if you want to be within 2 hours of your closest store. Most of the cheap property is boat-in or ATV-in. The idea of getting 40 acres and being within 30 minutes of work, nope not gonna happen.-

GuestI used to live on a farm but I hate taking care of animals or gardening, and going outside for hours every day and getting covered by bugs, but I love the idea of having my own source of food.
Creating an indoor hydroponics garden looks comfy as fuck though, and it seems like almost all of it could be automated. With a big enough area, I think it would be pretty straight forward to make enough food for myself and then I could trade everything else with other homesteader’s foods like eggs or meat. With a bunch of chickens I know most people are overflowing with eggs and they practically give them away.-

automation is pretty easy and something I’ll definitely do as well. I’ve grown hydroponic chilis and have to say that I did not like them as much as the ones grown in soil, but they do grow very quickly using hydro. Could be only bias though.
Aquaponics seems cool as well but depending on where you live the water will have to be heated -

Guest>Can we discuss homesteading tips? How does one achieve this lifestyle with no experience? How much does decent property cost?
I think the best place to start is to look at how your ancestors lived. My interest in it sparked with the medieval series with Ruth Goodman (British middle ages) and later on with Townsend who covers 17th&18th century lifestyles. Start looking at those and then try to find ways to improve.Timber framed cob houses are my go to. Less cuts and tedium when framing, uses the most available material (Straw, clay, sand and water), very well insulated and can be lime plastered to look beautiful like pic rel. They are also VERY cheap, like 6k-10k all in total with majority of it being tied up in lumber costs. You can add onto them easily at any time and they are fire proof.
As another anon said, chickens are great, Goats are amazing too since they eat underbrush and viney stuff. Rabbits can make you money and feed you. I would also look into botany/herbology. In the event you can’t get normal medicine it s a life saver and makes catching wild game easier.
My last bit of advice is get good with manual tools. A scythe will probably be your best friend and is also much better than a weed whacker once you get the hang of it.

As for building here are two examples. One is a straw bale house with timber framing, which is still good but not as resistant to fire

The other is Wattle and Daub, which is still timber framed but much more tedious.

My biggest ethical concern with my meat animals is their lifespan until slaughter. If only there was an economical way to let an animal experience at least 1/3 of its natural lifespan.

GuestYou don’t even need to homestead just move to a red rural area with internet access and get a generator attached to a gas line with lots of land. If you can hunt and are nearby to good fish this is really all you need even if you are only relying 10% on the garden gnome it’s better than 99% like everyone else. It’s hard work though. I’m in the middle of it now I try to eat only the fish and animals I kill but we still buy chicken because we like chicken and raising them on my property is next to impossible with my coyote issues. I started a big ass garden which is easier than it looks you literally throw shit in the ground and water it. Pic related are some peppers I just pulled. They taste fresher than the grocery store too. I paid 230,000$ for my home but it’s worth 380,000$ now because I painted all 2500sq feet and put in a tile floor in the basement and did various upgrades. Key is to find a municipality with low taxes. Going completely off the grid is impossible with women in your life and honestly kind of unfair to your kids they need socializing every so often but also you can’t have suburbia life because that shit is poisonous and toxic but you don’t want them to be creeps

GuestI think rural America is enough. Homesteading is next to impossible and honestly for work it entails it’s not worth it. Fixing up houses is so easy. Literally almost any DIY thing you can do yourself it’s a pain in the ass but not complicated. I live in a small town of 4000 people. 1.5 hours out of a major city. 10 black people according to the last census. No one locks their doors. I hunt out of my back yard. We don’t even have cops it goes to the county. We have city taxes (very low) but city water and sewage. Wells and septic fields are fine too but I just think the kids need to go to school. Need extra curricular but put them to work around the house on the weekends. Lots of stuff to do all the time. Like if you’re like me and eat primarily the meat and produce you hunt fish and grow you rarely go to the store and eat healthier. You also teach the kids not to take utilities and stuff for granted. I just think home schooled kids are weird and socially awkward. We definitely don’t miss suburbia though, the traffic, the rampant consumerism in every plaza, the blacks, the higher prices for the same houses because people don’t wanna drive an extra 1hr every day (I work remote so I could give 2 fucks), I see no reason to move back into the city but homesteading is a big undertaking and I would suggest perhaps do it as a second home and as a project like a lake house or hunting property

GuestYou can start a homestead with items that fit into your backpack.Well some boxes of nails will help alot but everything can be done the natural way. Food for the first 5 years will be problem but slowly start living more off the land.
It is possible to build a house for almost free if you know how to. Looking to the past is the key. Everybody used to live like that several hundread years ago. Axe, saw, drill and chisel are the only tools needed to build a traditional finnish log cabin.

GuestMy goal is a large A-frame, not those shit A-frames under 1000sq. At least a few acres of land, with luck near a lake or river. Should be solid, so it can survive an entire century with a cellar and enough place for the family. The less people in the area, the better. 100% self-sustainability is too much, I plan to get my meat on a hunt. Not just deer, also bears, hogs etc, same as fish. A few chickens, goats for milk and maybe few mule but flour etc. will be brought.
I’m already investing every single cent into that, plan to take at least 50% of my salary into saving. It will take a few years, and I’m already 28 but better now than never. Btw it will not be Germany, those freaking garden gnomes will steal everything. At the moment just a dream but I’m working hard to get it.
See this as a dump

GuestNo reason why you can’t start now anon. Just start off slow and do something like make ginger beer or capture your own sour dough yeast. Just do baby steps and try to add botanical knowledge, butchering/hunting and other such things to your interests. You can start off with simple youtube videos to gather knowledge before trying anything out. All that matters is that you take the first few steps, even if they aren’t large ones.

I too was a cityscrote with zero skills but you can learn anon. I’ve been a farmhand for a few years now, have a comfy life living in an old schoolbus and my own garden. Many farms have accomodation highly recommend looking into it. I will warn you though your farmers are kinda crazy and do things like work 15 hour days. I’ve been warned to never work for a Dutchman. With accomodation and some food provided you can save almost everything you make for land.-

GuestDutch farmers are some of the hardest workers on the planet and expect the same out of you. Their farms are immaculate and I have a lot of respect for them but that does not blend well with Canadian culture. I’ve heard Dutch don’t even provide lunch but that could just be rumors. 14-15 hour days are common, not just during harvest they will always find something for you to do. The days I have nothing to do at the farm I live on are most valuable as I can learn more about growing

There is a lot of work to do when you manage large acerages that has nothing to do with crops. Like I said, their farms are immaculate. It’s in their culture to be doing something from sun up to sun down. The one I work at is overgrown in many places while Dutch farms look picture perfect even if it’s 1000s of acres the ditches are mowed & barns have fresh paint. -

GuestWoke af bus conversion. Its a good alternative to an action building if you dont need/want to finance a small shelter. Like i mentioned in
5 acres of wooded land – 15k
Action building – financed
Improvements to the action building and tools – 5k max
Raised beds made from aluminum roof flashing and tree limb stakes (enough to feed at least 2). – .5k
Coop for 5 laying hens and the equipment to start them. – .5k
Boom, you are mostly out of the debt cycle and now may actually attract a trad wife all for just 22k. You should take part time work to improve your conditions/savings and pay for your truck ect. Take a security guard job and you can spend the majority of your work time learning how to build your future cabin, pole barns, land improvments, ect.

Never mind the fact that farmers themselves are an extreme minority as-is. How many of that 90% are following in the industrial model to compete in their local markets? How many are just following a value-added model without regard to what their methods might mean for the land, the soil?-

GuestWOOFing would make for some interesting vacations and offer you alot of knowledge you would get working in just one region for a season. Avoid the picking season on smaller farms if you can. I would try to find an opportunities where you are to care for animals and on a farm where they also grow produce. That way you can pick the farmers mind for the info on produce production while avoiding the most laborious part of it.

GuestIt can take a while but better to start now than later.
Rural property is cheaper than city property by far, look around a bit, you’ll find something. I saw a house in rural PA the other day that the owner wanted 60K cash for only. Sometimes you can find things like that. Of course it means you need the cash. If you ave fixer upper knowledge you can find some slightly run down rural places very cheap.
If you want to grow your own food you want at least an acre of land that is unwooded. If you want to hunt you want access to nearby hunting lands.
Know the climate you are trying to grow in. Plant foods that are native to where you are growing to limit the amount fo pesticides and fertilizer you have to use, it will also make it less likely your crops will fail because they will grow more naturally and have resistance to the normal pests in the area, and be used to the type of climate/rainfall you get.
Learn to raise chickens. It’s very easy, they cost little to keep, they need little land area, and eggs are a good staple protein food.
Grow at least one staple crop that is high calorie/carb. Research how much land you would need to grow enough to feed your family for a year and how much labor it would take to home process it.
Research what neighbors or neighboring farms you would have in the area to buy from. Almost no one can grow everything they need for themselves and having good relationships with your neighbors means you can help each other out and share extra crops/food or trade some things. -

GuestI have an off grid 320 acre farm in Montana. I run it on solar, wind, and Generac propane generator. I have a 12 gpm well with a solar powered pump that feeds into two 1500 gallon cisterns. The cisterns are up a hill above the house so water comes in gravity fed. I didn’t have to install a pressure tank. I’m going to build another small house on the other side of the half section next spring for my aging parents to stay with me, and I’m playing with the idea of drilling another well (my first well is 70 feet deep) and using a wind powered turbine to pump the water up in case of EMP or just outright electric failure of the solar pump.
>How much does decent property cost?
It’s going for about $2000 per acre on parcels over 100 acres in this area. If you want a smaller parcel, such as a 20 acre parcel, you’re probably going to be paying at least $4000 per acre, and more if you want irrigation ditch rights.-

GuestOP, you scrote. I fell for this meme. I daytrade shitcoins and live innawoods. I poop in a bucket and burn muh poop in a hole.
Two years in, the poop hole which was about 3 feet deep, in a depression in the yard, is now five feet tall and about 8” by 6”. It’s mostly black ashes, and I did burn leaves over it just to be sure muh poo is burnt well enough…. but when muh wife menstrates, racoons still manage to snag a half burnt tampoon out of the burning poo pile.
>but how not stink out whole county?
Simple anon. I cover muh poo with wood shavings, just like muh animals do, so it smells like burning wood too. Also sometimes toss a bit of charcoal at the bottom of the poo bucket, or cardboard & packaging materials. It helps.-

GuestI’ve lately had a real bad feeling in my gut about the future. I can’t explain exactly what it is, but it’s got me doing things like picking up an extra bag of rice when I’m at the store, buying an extra pair of boots even though i still have at least a year left in mine, and saving way more seeds from the garden than I normally would. Anyways, over the last couple months I have been going to poultry shows in my area trying to find good genetic stock rather than the dogshit hatchery birds I’ve raised my whole life, and just today I ordered a large assortment of heirloom vegetable seeds for things I normally just buy seeds/plants of (carrots,tomato, cabbage, turnips, ect…). I’m not a wealthy man and normally I feel sick to my stomach after buying things, even things I know I need, but I haven’t felt a twinge of guilt yet. Even assuming that nothing goes tits up, everything I bought will improve my life in some way and I am grateful for that. Stay safe friends, something is brewing out there.
