Off grid living in remote places

[nickndfl]

I am still leaning toward the mountains. Florida is getting too crazy after 55 years. It's too busy.

I am still leaning toward the mountains. Florida is getting too crazy after 55 years. It's too busy.

Which mountains? And...given the high entry price in the Rockies, say...why would it be worth it when TSHTF?

What's the difference between the Front Range of Colorado, and Siberia? How about, the economic freedom to develop the infrastructure - energy; paved roads; public services such as snowplowing, water/sewerage, emergency personnel.

Siberia was a death sentence. Aspen, also, was hard living, until the Industrial Revolution finally scaled the hills. Round about 1946, when the ghost town was reborn as a winter-sports center.

If you plan for someplace less populated - and you'll almost have to - expect living to be proportionately hard. Out here, I'm not far from Garnet, Montana - a ghost town. It's only been 30 years or so since the last residents died off...of course, living in modern areas, in their old age. But the tales they told, were not pleasant, of the life, expecially winters. One story I remember, of a young father with a sick daughter...took off by sled, that he had to pull, the 60 miles to Missoula (mostly downgrade) and stayed there while the hospital did what they could.

And continued to stay. Never returning.

That was then...? Well, if we get to where mountains matter...yeah, it may keep some of the zombies at bay. Mother Nature has her own way.

Buying is the first step. But it is important to move there and become part of the community. You can't just buy your way into a community. Just by buying the land. You can buy some acceptance by freely donating to high-profile causes. But I think the best approach is to just fit in and be good. That takes time.

I lived there in the early 70's, went back for a visit last year. Florida is horrible now. Off to the open spaces.
