Moving Off Grid:
1. Obviously need land. preferably with tree canopy. preferably with water source somewhere. preferably up against protected forest or other forest in area. preferably in white town, white jurisdiction conservative Christian area. Save up yourself or you will have to find co-investors. Live extremely cheap until you have the money for your land.
2. Need some kind of power energy supply. hydro water like this guy, solar panels, geo-thermal, propane or gasoline/diesel powered generators, etc. Also have to invest in batteries and replace them every 5 years or so.
3. Need some kind of saw mill. Lumber is too expensive to purchase. Must mill your own lumber to build stuff with.
4. Need some kind of tractor or fork lift or way to move large trees, logs, piles of dirt, heavy objects.
5. Need garden and livestock. Provide as much of your own food as possible.
6. Need security. Dogs, surveillance, locks, barriers, fencing, firearms,
7. Emergency preparation. Be able to deal with potential emergencies yourself. Put out your own fire, deal with medical emergencies, bad cuts, burns, medications, tourniquets, gauze, stitching supplies for open cuts, disinfectants, emergency radio/cell communication, backup supplies of food and items to barter, redundancy to important systems
8. Stealth. Blend in with landscape. Avoid satellite detection. County Appraiser will get a satellite screen shot of your property and go after you with large homes or structures you didn't get permits for. Camoflauge things to look like trees, the surrounding landscape, etc. Make your roof look like tree canopy. or build rooms into the earth.
Plan this out and give yourself 10-15 years to accomplish it. But know that the longer it takes the faster the price of land goes up and the less land that will be available. So you really are up against time and it becomes harder the longer you wait. Also you can't be looking for land in same place everyone else is looking for land. Maybe you have to go be a pioneer and sacrifice something to move somewhere normies don't want to move to, which makes the land cheaper and more opportunistic. Maybe you sacrifice convenience or cellphone/internet access or you move to a place where there really aren't any fucking jobs.
Do you think something like the Return to the Land intentional community would work? I suppose it might be better on a smaller scale with a tight-knit friend group maybe, but still be able to pool money for a land buy or something.
