America Left The Goldilocks Period, Now What?

Would you like to build freedom and take control of your time through simple, affordable off-grid living systems & methods? We show you how with the Acorn Home concept. It's not for everyone. But freedom still exists for those who are willing to build new skills, use innovative systems and live differently.

Our team at Acorn Land Labs has been working around the clock for the past 6 months to create our Land Lab Off-Grid Simulator web app, our 10 hour video Acorn Off-Grid Overview Course, and our online Acorn Off-Grid community.

Join the community to gain access to the podcast!

All three tools have officially launched! You can beta test the SIM, explore the course, and join the Acorn community today!

These three educational tools are how we’ll be educating as many people as we can about the systems we can all use to build local freedom.

We want to reclaim our time, our health, and finances, and a sense of peace. We want to help you and millions of others do the same. We want to swim out of the mainstream, we want to opt-out, slow down, to live more simply and locally.

You can support our work and Land Lab SIM app development by exploring the Land Lab SIM PRO version. Our amazing Kickstarter backers have given us the tools to build the beta; we want to go further with more features! Our team has put a great deal of our own time, money and resources to making this concept real. The goal is for this app to help educate people everywhere about building local freedom. Your financial support for our Land Lab SIM pro app, our off-grid course, and Acorn Community provides the funding for us to continue this critical educational work.

Can you guys label these as podcasts in the title?? Im a fan of these would love to watch more, just want to know when to see them.

[partnermammoth]

you guys are so intelligent and well spoken we need more YTers like this

[jademorgan]

I can’t believe you guys can do succinctly wrap up all the interesting things I’ve been studying about in the last few years. I haven’t really come across many people who discuss permaculture and economics. Also in Georgia ❤️
Absolutely love this!!!!

[dericscott]

You sound like the beginning of a civil society. :)

[magdielmagos]

You all are doing some very interesting stuff here 👍🏽

[petekooshian]

I'm a fan of Peter Zeihan! Good stuff guys 👌

[Snoozy_Snorlax]

I came to learn about farming 😂, but I got something much better

[TheClassifiedstar]

Big brother to the rescue!!! We are here to stay!!

Solid stuff! I want to say your work is "inspiring", but in all honesty I most likely am not adopting a similar land lab soon, so "inspiring" would not be apt.

Still, I've been watching from overseas (🇳🇱) and consider this a very high-level project. I love the philosophy, I love the fact that you (and the ALL project) exist, I love that you're young and love that you're broadcasting your methods.

This is what chemistry and biology class could look like if we dared to. From observational studying to just circular production. Not feeling fluent in American right now but wanted to pass some admiration to you guys ! Very nice !

The back to land movement in the 60s and 70s was the boomers’ version of “opting out”. It was a broad spectrum movement with its extremes. Hippie communes came up out of this. An attempt to create utopia in the countryside. Living off the land and loving your neighbor in harmony. They quickly fell apart but the movement trudged on through the 80s and 90s. It waned through the years but lessons were learned and books were published. It’s making a resurgence. I believe many of the boomers recognized the dysfunction of the west and wanted to break out of it. They saw inevitable nuclear war that they had no control over. They saw polluted water and air in the cities. They saw industrialization of every aspect of life. The reason why many hippies had a reputation for not bathing or wearing deodorant was because they saw it silly to spray your body with toxic chemicals to mask odors. I saw a documentary from the 60s that interviewed hippies and asked these questions. So it’s nothing new. It was its own version of rebellion that defined the counterculture movement. I highlight the extremes but not everyone was a “free love” hippie who didn’t bathe. There was a push to get out of the cities because they were nuclear targets. The pollution was concentrated in the cities. So there appeared to be freedom in the rural areas.

Now it seems that many of these same concerns have been revisited but the threat seems to be more internal. It’s no longer the communists. It’s our own government or even terrorists. Knowledge of how far reaching the pollution has become is a massive burden to bear. The hippies suspected that pollution was bad for our health during the “F around” phase. Now we’re experiencing the “Find out” phase. For me personally I’m exploring self sustaining small scale agriculture and learning to establish bartering networks. For when the dollar collapses and with it the economy and government. It sounds like doomsday but none of this is sustainable. I’d be a fool not to make an attempt to mitigate the threat. I get called a prepper… sure that’s fine. It’s called personal responsibility and independence. The struggle is how much work it is to truly live off grid and be self sufficient. It’s insane how the most basic things require so much input. It’s difficult to give up the Goldilocks phase. When all I have to do is turn the tap to hot for a shower. Or turn the furnace up because I feel cold. I flip a switch in a dark room then shut it off. Take it for granted.

I know so many people here in the UK who have similar thoughts to the statements and questions from 7:00 onward

Is the constant adjustment in zoom some kind of psychological trickery?

The 4-generational cycle you speak of is related to empires and is entirely man-made. The cycles we should really be concerned with are solar.
11-13 year cycle gives El Nino / La Nina.
400 year cycle dictates the rise and fall of Chinese dynasties and other empires (think famines). Last one was Maunder minimum of mid 1600s.
2000 year cycle that dramatically changes weather patterns and shifts global grow zones. It was then that Saudi peninsula, most of middle east and Ethiopia were lush and green, and could support the population during biblical times. It is NOW shifting again.

We are currently at the end of our 400 and 2000 year cycle. Man made economics mean nothing. It's not cars and cow farts, it's the sun 😊

I hope you do really well on all of your projects!
Will the Land Lab Sim be free when fully released?
