Should a bunch of us buy a piece of land somewhere and start a farm/village/retreat center?

[BeansOfRequirement]

Funding, check:

Let's do this.

Concealment, check:

I have the skill and ability to keep us off the grid and under the radar. Think Witness Protection Program with benefits! Also any pro-life trespasser will be shot on sight.

Actual farm stuff, check:

Sorry l should have said that l grew up on a farm and have a city and guilds in agricultural business management after 2 years of agricultural college! Not bragging at all! I just genuinely would love GenesAndEnviroment's idea to become a reality!

Enthusiasm, check:

Hell yeah. We weren't meant to live in such massive, isolated societies.

Customer service, check:

Costumer service is even worse, lol

Even more motivation, check:

They would probably do to us what they did to the Davidians.

Costumer service, check:

Wait, costumer check? Shit, are we gonna be all furries?

Damn this, I have slowly been developing dyslexia or something as of late. Might be all of the carotid pressing.

Our glorious leader has dyslexia, prepare for weird shit happening in the camp.

She must have epic shoulder muscles to land like that.

I grew up on a farm and went to the barony farming college. The old bastard that taught us demonstrated castrating a sheep with a knife and his teeth. Fucking freak.

A Knife and his Teeth? WTF??? Your instructor must have trained during the Dark ages, Animal castration nowadays takes 5-seconds at most and is very humane!

Teeth is also a traditional method used by Sami to castrate their reindeers. IIRC it was used until fairly recently. Not sure how popular it is nowadays but it's pretty metal.

Who wants to be designated testicle biter on our farm? I have a bonus program for you.

 

[nopointofliving]

I love this idea :)

He was very old school. The whole college in Stranraer was actually. It was more like a glorified porter cabin. Old Massey Ferguson we used didn't even have power steering. Half expected to go witch burning at some point.

 

[TooConscious]

Youre right it would work with a strong, charismatic leader...

Awesome post

 

[whywere]

One word...Yes Walter

 

[Mm80]

Awesome post

Thank you thought I was the only person laughing at it !

OP, if you're still on board with this, I'd totally be willing to move there, away from our rotten elitist society.

We could call it "Cope Town" or "Ropenhagen."

If you need a member with zero work ethic and no skills you know where to find me.

anyone know of a place like this that currently exists? I don't know where to even begin looking or how to find one, but this is my dream

Im all for search for a place of land for some of us, get away, leave all this crazy world behind. I will pack and go in a sec.

I would like to open a horse riding school, horses are very helpful against depression.

It seems like there are some places already in existence, but I don't know if their focus is on mental health specifically - https://www.fodors.com/news/photos/try-living-off-the-grid-in-these-12-communities

I rather just occupy an island and have a community there until some pro-lifer decides to make landfall on our island trying to convert us, but we shoot them dead with bows and arrows.

I have Farm experience and have ran a 250 acre Dairy/Arable Farm for several years and made profit whilst doing so, if that's of any use? Am quite a good mechanic if l date say myself!!!

I've got a bad feeling about this

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

Anything in the UK?

 

[myopybyproxy]

Anything in the UK?

Yep there are a few in GB and Scotland, check the link I posted earlier by fodor.

It seems these sorts of groups are called intentional communities. Sounds a bit silly to me - as opposed to a neighbourhood that just fell together on accident? - but now we know what keywords to use.

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

I think I might give it ago in the summer.
My CTB plans have changed from jumping to N
In the mean time I've been thinking of running away and this might just be what I'm looking for.

I would also be interested in something combined with Animal rights.

The way I feel at the moment I worry that even one of these communities will reject me but its worth ago I guess.
Something like Jonestown would probably be best for me but I guess something like that would be hard to come by.

This one invites people to stay and be part of the community for ten days up to a month or so, at no charge to you except transportation and whatever items you bring:

I looked into this in 2021 when all us conspiracy theorists went rabid mad with the totalitarian turn of events "to protect our health". I ended up realizing I didn't get along with them and experienced/witnessed a lot of in-fighting IRL and in Telegram, so the part about living together and living off the land wouldn't work.

Not to mention being chronically ill and partially disabled doesn't make you the ideal candidate for survivalism either. But the main thing is to actually have a community, from there you can build anything.

Love the idea, I'm in Mexico and here it could be cheaper and USA citizens love spending Dollars in Mexico because they are worth a lot more than the Mexican Peso
