Pillar Valley, Wytallaba, Om Shalom, Tuntable Falls are a few of them that spring to mind. these are also open, meaning you can buy and sell your share , you cannot start new ones like that anymore. |

Bowyn Aerrow User ID: 12560157 United States 04/17/2012 04:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know it goes down in the Land Down Under. Here in the USA during the 60's and 70's 'off the grid' communities called communes were opened up across the states. They became targeted by police harassing and even Federal harassment. DEA raids were one such attack, when the DEA was a young baby department, it teethed on communes. Then the states started up their Child Protective Services and started poking their noses into these groups, then The city/counties started passing all of these laws to make the community be on sewage, city water and have electricity. Through the years things have gotten worse. Every Survival group and every member of those groups are tracked and duly noted by FBI, CIA, local police and most likely Homeland Security. Even individual families who dare to go off grid are pulled back in with laws insisting they have electrical hook up, sending out the CPS to check on homeschooling. Zoning laws changed, farms that were used as communes now have strict zoning laws about how many people (a family) can live there. Going off grid is hard, going off grid as a group is going to make you a target. "My Dog, its full of fleas!" -David Bowwow “A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13550059 Hong Kong 04/17/2012 04:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Greetings fellow survialists! Quoting: Nob at Night This is still a bit early days yet but i wanted to start this thread because i am interested to know how many people on here are on a similiar wavelength as me. Well anyway moving on, for a while now, i’ve been thinking VERY seriously about starting a community of like minded individuals to leave modern society behind and live in the Australian countryside (not the desert outback though). This is because quite frankly i am sick and tired of being constantly poisoned by the elite that rule the world, they poison our food, our water, our air, our minds and our hearts, so frankly, i want to leave. My beliefs are that our modern society, with all its technology and science, is not a healthy environment to live in, (or to raise children in for that matter) not just physically but mentally and spiritually also, and that while we live in this modern society we are without knowing it slaves to this society, and quite simply, i want freedom, true freedom, to live how i wish to live, to bring up and educate my children how i think they should be brought up and educated without indoctrination, without having to answer to or seek permision from anyone. This community would primarily be founded on the idea of living in the way that god intended for us to live. Out in nature, without technology, without science, working by the sweat of your brow, growing and eating our own pesticide and additive free, un-GMO food and building our own houses But also, i was thinking that this community in a lesser capacity, could be about survival, just in case a SHTF scenario did occur, after all there are many interesting and plausible theories about how the world will end such as, a giant solar flare wiping out all electronics, asteroids hitting us, nibiru coming in too close an orbit near us, a government planned alien invasion, various global depopulation plans.... and not to mention the NWO!!! I am a big believer in being better safe than sorry, and think that it would be good idea to build a community for those of us who are in the know, to survive. I originally wanted to do this on my own, and live basically a hermit sort of lifestyle, as i did not have any friends who were interested in living off the grid. BUT ALAS!! i don’t think it would be possible to undertake this sort of project on my own, even if i wanted to. I think that humans, not unlike wolves are pack animals and need each other, even if it’s just for company, which is where you, the enlightened people of GLP come in! I decided to make this thread in the hope of finding some similar like minded people, who are interested in this, and would potentially (if it all works out) be willing to help me set up and join this community, so if you are interested or have any tips or advice please post either on the thread or if you prefer message me personally. Thanks, nob at night PS: don’t get the wrong idea and think this is some hippie camp for smoking pot and having orgies, that is absolutely not the point at all It is though to be fair come on be honest ... its an elaborate plan to get yourself lashings and lashings of hippie vagina |

I have nothing to hide, so my intention is to teach as many people around me to be self sufficient so that the buffer zone between me and the city leaches is less permeable. You can live on the grid while learning ways to not be on it. I am up for moving to an area where people seem to understand we need to get back to basics before we are forced back to basics. I have learned to live better without TV for one. I have learned to grow my own food. I have learned little things like turning the water off while soaping up in the shower and I really don't need to have my instant hot water heater fire up to wash my hands. Most of meals cost about $1.00 for things that add flavor that I don't choose to produce for now. We have a unique opportunity to learn survivalist techniques before we have to. I also have a strong belief that others that have failed expected too much. You cannot stifle free will, regardless. You cannot start a community for a "party", a religious stronghold or a militia. The mindset should be to learn to live each day the best you can with what you have and teach others to do the same. If it gets to the point where you are defending what you have, you will surly die trying. If it gets to that I would rather not be here any ways. Whats the point? If you were over here, I would be more than happy to help you. I for one think that Australia is not going to be the place to be in the near future. I hope I am wrong, I'm just another earth shifttard. |

Well yeah doing little things like around the house is good, especially if your into the "save the environment from global warming" stuff, i wish more people did. However, you can only go so far off the grid while still being on the grid, for example, trying to run your household electricity using only solar panels, there have been many horror stories about people who did just that and ended getting into these messy lawsuits with they're old power companies etc....just seems to much hassle to me, and even if you dont have that sort of trouble, your still breathing in all the city pollution and drinking flouridated water and all that.... seems to me, you might as well just go the whole hog and go completely off the grid, its cheaper and easier in the long run. LOL America safe in a SHTF scenario!? HA! don't think so! America is a major world power, which ever one of the the various SHTF scenarios that happen, it doesn't matter, North America is going to be a major target. Whereas Australia, is a nice, small, out of the way place and not really a big threat to anyone, in all the huffle and buffle we'll be forgoten about, and therefore, safe. |

Whereas Australia, is a nice, small, out of the way place and not really a big threat to anyone, in all the huffle and buffle we'll be forgoten about, and therefore, safe. I am not talking about little things. I have lived comfortably the last three years earning less than 5000/year and enjoying nature. All the while learning to live like people did a couple of hundred years ago. Things I have learned: Find and dig a well, grow and sustain a garden and livestock without chemicals or anything else I can't provide from my own land, maintain forestation for wood supply. I have found ways to do everything without petroleum products. This is the big facade of solar panels, modern windmills, electric cars etc. Forget about those things. When the supply runs dry, you better plan on being where you want to be or be a wandering starving nomad. Even if it doesn't happen in my lifetime, I am already teaching my seven year olds these things. Australia is awesome! I went there for 6 weeks about ten years ago. I commend Australia for finding a decent balance between socialism and capitalism. There is also much to lean from the aboriginals that haven't been tainted by modern society and taught to be leaches. If the shift is just governmental or spiritual, then wish me luck. I am going to need it and you are correct. If it is a physical earth shift, quite frankly I want to be on higher ground. |
