Yep. Good water, timber, good soil and a "defensible" terrain are essentials. Don't forget all the legal stuff: a clear title, zoning and permitting laws, and easements--especially access easements (I've known people who looked at a property with no legal way to get to it, and also know a guy who found out a neighbor had legal access to a road that went right through the middle of his property). DEFINITELY do a preliminary "area study" before you buy, and then expand that once you get settled in. Things change all the time, so you will have to revisit this study periodically.

I really like this quick hitting format with all of you chiming in.

[jamessanders]

A survey is a must! Shows right-of-way and easements and any encroachments…

[greenstreet]

Bear looking like he slimmed down. Good for him

[zerpblerd]

set a price range, select a 'climate', geographical region, on-property desires (stream, trees, etc.), and start looking within those parameters for as much acreage as you can and buy it

then like dude said, 3-5 years IF you know what you are doing and work super hard until you really are settled to a point where you can really be producing enough to keep you going

I'm interested in a video on how to manage a homestead while working a full time job.

[ricecrispiss]

In the process of looking for land so this was very helpful thank you

[wildlifegrocery]

Very well executed and edited video..! Real answers to a lot of important considerations..! Thanks to all of you for putting it out.

Investigate the neighbors prior to buying. I recently found out our neighbors are felons. Not necessarily neighbors you want in desperate times.

[withoutfurtheradoforever]

Is there a good "lines of drift" resource for educational purposes?

[edmoran]

I had dealt with some of these issues for years, and realized that sometimes you just have to find acceptable compromises

[andrewwashburn]

but where do you actually go to see what land you can buy in the first place. do you contact state or federal governemnt is there a private land website thats more trustworthy than the others? how mayn land buying websites even are there?

I’m buying organic heirloom open pollinated survival seeds on eBay and Etsy

I would love to meet my future partner but not having much luck with finding an over 40 homestead fella to join me in middle Tennessee. I currently live on a young homestead in a co-housing situation where we're growing food, got 2 chickens, and managing the land with solar and earthship building projects. If anyone knows a good man, message me please :) I'd be open to moving for my future husband, lol. I prefer Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri but who knows what I'd do for love and focused self-sufficiency - Partnered!

I've been considering a desert homestead for sometime. Obviously there are certain ecological limitations, however there is a tremondous benefit of security. In a SHTF scenario where are people going to go? Where there is Water, timber, good soil, and defensible terrain. In a patrol base you look for the most inhospitable location possible because you want to be in a location the enemy would least likely want to be. What do you think about this?

[timelliott]

I was wondering what you men would recommend for the minimum number of acres?

[brianvannorman]

I'd sooner trust the moose than most people.

[annking]

It's not rocket science! VOTE THEM OUT!!! ALL OF THEM!!! Stop feeling powerless!!!!

[greatwood]

NO SHIT. THAT TINY LITTLE VIDEO LITERALLY HAS NO VALUE
