Also, for hose who are concidering property sites remember this....know what you need, are you going to grow and produce ? Then you need land that has a good growing season, dont just settle cause its cheap ! Study area, the surroundings and whats allready growing there....altitude and climate are key.

There is also the other poeple who simply could not function in the simplicity that is living "off the land". I think that all in all given the choice there is enough land in this world that if a man wanted to take care of himself and live on the land he should not have to fatten the pocket of someone who is selling you what mother earth has already provided to everyone free of charge.

There is only enough room for so many people on this "God-given" earth. Imagine if all of the condo and apartment-dwelling people all over the world - stacked hundreds on top of each other in places like India and China and major US cities - were to each own five or ten acres. There just wouldn't be enough. So stop breeding or stop bitching. One or the other but you can't have your cake and eat it too.

We are owned by this system from birth. The lies and dishonesty of our government has been there from the start. All I want is peace in my life, a roof over my head, food,health and my son. Its 2:15 in the morning and I'm researching on how to survive in the wilderness so I don't wind up dead within a few months of my future journey. I wish I could find a christian based organization that welcomed new comers in, and taught them to survive and had a payback system once you were established. I love life just not the life man created. GREED!!! I also agree to the god giving right to have our own piece of land. We are owned by this system from birth.
