Good point but their money input would be very minimal as in just for their own building supplies i would pay for the land and start up buying animals and few tools needed to do the work all money made from the gardens and animals would be split up amd only whatis needed for taxes and supplies would be used |

When i was living in Wisconsin I had the "pleasure" of living next to Hmong, during the winter I watched as the whole family took turns throwing dirt into thier abode. The grew thier food indoors (very unhappy landlord and they ate our dog true story) but the point is the more diversity among a community provides diffrent survival skills that may come in handy. Not everyone can grow food but they may be a killer mechanic.U get the idea |

For off grid solar/wind you will need a lot of expensive, deep cycle batteries every 5 years or less and you will still need to use propane for heat. Better learn all you can about everything. Best luck for you. |

Taxes are a song on rae land in most states and you can get a cheap solar and wind set up people are too comfortable and are afriad i believe propane is an option but wooded land will provide heat also |

My husband briefly suggested this once, possibly trying to buy a piece of property with other people he worked with and then sharing the land but man, NO WAY! |
