is $100k enough to get off grid and escape this nightmare?

Plenty of vids on living and building own cabins on you tube.


Not to mention there are yurts and other thing you can build.


I am doing a trampoline frame shelter , like a Quonset hut…

I would say yes…


U should watch living off the grid or homestead rescue on discovery

Not for long, $100k is like 1000 shares of ExxonMobil and some walking around money.

Look up homesteading famil, raise bees sell honey, my papa used to sell strawberries and let people come pick and made a lot doing that. He was a minister too, but a lot of income from the garden and he sold cattle. Canned and froze a lot of vegetables and fruit

Wait until there is no more gasoline

Wait until the 5G turns on for Real ?!

There is no escaping. WE ALL had our chances ( mine included) to leave. But WE chose money or comfort instead.

Your bed has been made already.

Tuck yourself in

Let the nightmares continue

Not for your typical soyboy millenial

Thanks for all your posts here, eyeDR3 …Really helpful and encouraging.

Horseshit. We always have our kids camping on our property in Oregon. Nobody gives a shit out in this area. Of course, they're self-contained.

Yep. All those videos on YouTube off people living off the grid are just actors. And the people on GLP claiming to live off the grid are just making shit up. Off the grid living is stupid anyway.

Even if you move beyond cell reception, they'll come and fit one on neighbor's land as they did me.

With that cash, buy a boat and spend much time couple miles off-shore.

Sounds like a nightmare

It is.
I know people who tried living off grid.
They all said it sucked balls and moved back on grid in 2 months or less.
Fortunately they either kept or rented out their on grid homes and didn't sell them.


OP, trust me if you sell your home and move off grid you will regret if you live to regret it

nope

Could you tell me where to look for places like you mentioned in Columbia? I've been looking at the hills/mountainside in southern Brazil but I'm open to Columbia. Plus my Spanish is better than my Portuguese.

I need minimum ten acres and four bedroom.

Thank you.

my best suggestion is get strong used truck and a toy hauler with a sleeper/kitchen ... it is already equipped to run on batteries, propane tanks, water tanks, and solar for not much more ... stay in State Parks, the more remote the better - because they will have water and a dump station - you can stay in any location for a week (or two) as long as you are completely off the road ....buy a generator - ham radio - and a years supply of MREs - and an ATV and about ten gas cans. and 2water barrels

good luck

You are very welcome!

Your best investment is in your own skills and tools.

Made friends with a Vietnam Marine Vet.. 2 tours.. very religious and conservative, and was a handyman. He had a big truck and work trailer.

He moved down to Florida when a big hurricane hit.. Lived out of damaged homes.. that how power and water.. as he repaired them.. Never owned a home.. just went from one job to next for over 10 years. All his money was saved in Gold and Silver.

Moved later to new hurricane location.

You need work skills and tools.. good truck.. Not Off Grid.. Live out of a Trailer, RV, etc..

There is are a lot of open fields that rent storage space.. for Travel Trailers and RVs.. I see some staying there 6 months a year.. lucky to find a covered one..

Business is the name of the game.. cashflow.

I know another man who owns lots of cheap rentals.. He keeps a room for himself in a couple.. and just travels from one state to the other as he needs too. He has several trucks available..

He likes to say he is "Homeless.." He owns lots of houses.. but does not have a home.

Think outside the box.. Not what some article tells you to do. Super Foam Insulation is very good to save energy cost..

So is the purpose of Off Grid to live cheap, or hide from zombies ??

You will have to eat.. garden, hunting and fishing.. Water is critical.. If you live by yourself.. you are never safe.. criminals are everywhere..

Do you live on the moon. I live on Mars.

Interesting thread.

Bumping to follow.

I have to say, it's sad that we are talking about such things.... How has the world gone to such shit in the matter of a few years? And we can see now, that this plandemic was well thought out, and planned, with the intention of doing exactly what they are doing.

Shit is going to get weird pretty quickly.

Interesting I live on the sun.

Marriage sucks. I like being able to bang as many girls as I like don't think I'd like to be off grid either it'd get boring.

I imagine living off grid would get boring especially only seeing the same people every day relying on solar power wells and other primitive shit sucks too. I don't want to live like it's the fucking stone age.

Dude... Oregon has some of THE most restrictive land use laws and regulations in the country!

Ask me how I know.

Yeah, your KIDS are camping on your land... for what... a few days?

Why don't YOU try camping on your land for a few weeks. See what happens.

"Horseshit" my ass!

It's coming out of your mouth.

I'm in Oregon. I go camping on my land for years at a time. Noone has ever said or did anything to me.

I don't believe you for ONE second.

I happen to live in Oregon too (for the last 30 years), and 4 of my best friends own their own real estate companies.

I've explored EVERY option there is, and what you are saying is pure bullshit.

You obviously aren't doing it right then.
Or maybe YOUR the one full of bullshit!

It's very easy for anyone who wants to know the validity of this ^^^ to do their own research. It will only take maybe 15 minutes to find out it's true. You're more likely to be left alone camping on a sidewalk in Portland, than you are to be left alone camping on your own 5 acres long term, out in the boonies.

This guy is 100% full of shit. If you don't believe it, then go ahead and give it a try.

LOL

And by "this guy", I mean YOU ^^^
