Join me today as I discuss some self sufficiency goals that I have set for myself in 2010, along with goals I have for the show and to better serve you the audience. The show notes are brief today due to the type of show we are doing, I am not going to list my goals in the notes if you want to know them you will have to tune in.
I will be trying to inform and educate along the way too. I will be discussing some really interesting permaculture concepts, revisiting my “green greenhouse” (Bill Mollison does it better then me), ideas for people that want to start a business and more.

Today we discuss another tenet of modern survival philosophy, that of “owning land it true wealth”. My view is that many simply do not truly understand what that means and how special it is that the U.S. still has and was built on the right to own private property, for all, not just “nobles”.
Tune in today as we discuss…
- How private property in America was seen vs. the feudal system that was in place in much of the world all the way up to and in some cases past 1900
- It was land that brought early settlers to America
- Why land is the real “store of value” for all time far more so then gold, etc.
- The attack on land ownership and why governments love cities and suburbs
- The Ag Zoning trap and how it kills small farms and creates mega commerical farming that destroys land
- Why you should own land out of the city limits and own more then one piece
- The value of livestock even just a few smaller animals
- What owning your lands production means
- How to use land to build a local barter economy
- Bartering production for skills and learning skills so we don’t loose them to the ravages of time
- Learning to do more with smaller tracts of land to truly beat the system
- How to make it happen and become a land owner

Well I still have country living on the brain after our recent trip to our BOL and soon to be primary residence in Arkansas. I have also gotten a tremendous number of requests lately to evaluate property listings as potential BOLs, retreats and homesteads. It is honestly almost impossible to really know a property from just a listing, they are simply starting points. So I decided to do this show with some general things to consider when making such a personal decision such as purchasing land or a home.
Tune is Today as I Discuss…
- Remote is a relative term
- Water, got it, don’t got it, what’s it gonna cost
- The advantages of unimproved and unincorporated land
- Service from a government comes at a cost, which is more valuable to you freedom or “services”
- Who is going with you, you can’t be happy if your family is miserable
- Gates, the simple solution to BS excuses like “I was lost, not trespassing”
- The value of good neighbors
- Talk to neighbors BEFORE you buy
- Pick a community you fit into, don’t try to change one
