Sounds like where I live now"You're nuts, you couldn't pay me enough to live out here, there's nothing here."
This doesn't speak well of you.Where would be the best place to live with the least chance of being bothered by Government or criminals?
If you are on the tax roles, phone company registry, have a mailing address, file state or federal taxes, have an INTERNET CONNECTION, ect. you are easily 'Found' by government employees, including law enforcement, tax collection, ect.As for taxes on a place like this you could sell a few dozen eggs per month and pay them.
Sorry, you missed the point completely. City = Government = restrictions = lack of freedom. Contrary to your thinking I do not live in fear, I enjoy my peace and independence. And since you don't get it you certainly have the right to ramble on as much as you like. After all freedom of speech is still available to you, thanks to those who have fought and died for it.This doesn't speak well of you.
If you think everyone in government is there to 'Bother' you, and 'Criminals' are out to get you, why do you live in this country?
I live in the woods because I prefer peace and quite, and some moderate privacy, not because I'm worried about invasion of government, roving hoards of criminals (which we haven't seen in the country ever before, unless you count thieving black birds and cow birds!)

As for sustainable living, I'm all for that!
I think it's a great thing, but I'm not moving towards sustainable living because of some scare tactic or out of fear of government (ours or other)...
I've been moving towards sustainable living simply because the technology is here to do so,
And because it's THE RIGHT THING TO DO FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS!
The less fossil fuel you use either through heating your home, in an internal combustion engine, or by using electricity you didn't create by sustainable sources.
The big 'Lie' is you have to sit in the dark and eat cold food while freezing.
The truth is, Use as much energy as you want to,
AS LONG AS YOU CREATE THAT ENERGY BY SUSTAINABLE MEANS.
After initial purchase of the equipment,
Hot water is free, electricity is free, no reason not to go ahead and do it...
Very few things in your life are going to pay for themselves, Sustainable energy is one of those few things that will!
I don't know but I think the price for raw land out here is much lower than that.What I want is a 25-50 acre plot within 15 miles of my current town (population 40k). That way I'm far enough out to enjoy country living but close enough to get supplies.
Right now 25 acres is about 250k though. Out of my price range.
Oh yes they deliver here same as in town, same price. I don't know how far out they will go before they increase their charges though.Off topic but will UPS/Fedex deliver to really rural locations without an up charge?
I live in the middle of nowhere Texas and both UPS/FedEx deliver here. FedEx sends their stuff out in a minivan. Interestingly, the US Postal Service will not deliver. We all had to get PO Boxes.Off topic but will UPS/Fedex deliver to really rural locations without an up charge?
Did anyone notice this thread was four years old?I live in the middle of nowhere Texas and both UPS/FedEx deliver here. FedEx sends their stuff out in a minivan. Interestingly, the US Postal Service will not deliver. We all had to get PO Boxes.
If you ever get an "orange slip" in your mailbox, you need to claim your package in 7-10 days or they send it back....If we're ever required to get a PO Box in town, we'll probably only go in if we're expecting meds and that's maybe once a month.
zombie thread! It's come back from the DEAD! :droolie:Did anyone notice this thread was four years old?
