I’ve been thinking of this for a long time. Paid my land off and put a 12x36 shed on it, turned it into a tiny home. Best thing I’ve ever done. Easy to heat and cool. I have a garden and chickens and ducks. I’m working now to have my land fenced in so I can have a couple of beef cows and a milk cow and some goats and a couple of pigs. The more you can get away from the system the better off you will be during bad times.
i agree 100%, the wife and have moved out of town got a small acreage, we've been working hard on getting it ready. we've got a garden going, sheep will be arriving in the fall. if the world can stay together for another year or two we should be in a good place to help provide for our self's, friends and family
It may sound bad but a good depression might be what we need to straighten a large majority of people straight in their priorities in this country. Love the videos Tom and keep up the good work on the house, living a simple life allows us to not even know if the stock market crashes, but to just live our life as we did the day before. Simply
I am afraid there to soft. And will turn to any government leader that promises them better ant any costs. Remember that funny little German with the funny little mustache back in tge 30s? Or that nice Russian guy that was for the people and not the Zara?
Thanks Tom, for the time you make to create these moments. In a galactic maelstrom of horseshit, I behold your videos as diamonds. You restore humanity for me, amongst the popular barbarism that seems to have taken hold of the world. I really appreciate your content.
I moved a turn of the century...1900s. House and basically rebuilt it back in 08 to 09. Every day after work and weekends. I do not envy you. I've a nice house..with not a crazy amount of money in it. But wow, I look back. It was a heck of a lot of work. Good luck with it. I believe your right..the drums are sure beating out that prediction down in South Ga. Glad I'm way out in the woods.
The good thing about the times we live in is that news travels quickly....and better still is it is news from one of us to the other. Bad times happen because there are plenty of people who count on bad times happening. Advice to be better prepared is always good. ...and the other good thing is that we can come out of bad times faster through communication. tHanks for a great video!
It's like distant thunder, you know its coming and you can smell it in the air. We're getting signs here in Australia too. People with severe mortgage stress, skipping meals to pay bills.
Well I didn’t run out to the country I have always been country. I grew up in some of the least populated parts of this country. But one thing is for certain it is coming to an end. People never learned anything from history. You can’t barrow your way into success. You can’t get things for nothing. You can’t live off other people. What that means is you have to do it for yourself and your family. Pay your bills. Live within your means. If you don’t have anything to offer the world you will not get by. Times will get hard. The amount of homeless people is getting out of control. People want to blame the system instead of themselves for poor decision making. It’s time they got up and did the right thing. Stop getting high then make the next right decision, get a job. Any job. Then make more right decisions. Good on your house. I really enjoy your videos. Just simple love it.
I am on board with you Tom things in this country and around the world 🌎 not looking promising.l live out in the country in NC try to live frugal except for my reloading and gun's 😮😮🙃be safe and ready is all we can do and put trust in the good Lord 🙏. We are all going to have to look out for each other even more in the near future
When contractors offering me the same quote for any job, it’s a bad sign. It means they’re looking for cash, so they want to waste their time is it making a reasonable profit. They’re just looking for someone who pay the price. And the figure that most people have a spare $10,000 lying around.
Doesn’t mean they are looking for cash it just means that’s what it is worth to them to do it for you. Our overhead is about zero, but it’s not fair to sell ourselves short just because the next guy drives a $100,000 truck and has 25 employees with payroll taxes that he can charge more if the guy before hand is debt free and can do the job with the same quality. Quality over quantity is a better theme to think of, but these days most want the quantity which is how all these people get away with having leverage over the employer instead of the other way around. Though if that’s what people like doing is paying twice as much for a job to get done multiple times or super slow but start right now then there will always be someone willing to take your money .
I have cash that is enough to buy a house all invested in t bills and some stocks. Should I buy a house with the money or with a bank loan before now or wait until the economic crisis hits? I dont know if cash is king still during an economic downturn or commodity and property ownership is better. I am considering to buy a small farm land soon that’s one plan I have for sure.
Used to shoe a horse for a realtor. She owned 130 houses / property around the bay. Husband left her[ died] in a good one. She never paid it off. BC it wasn't productive. Wasnt going to be ever . No gaining intrinsic value. Back then allready worth more anybody would pay.
Unemployment rate, currently at a historic low. Stock market indices, at record highs. Inflation rate, higher than anyone wants but nowhere near the levels of the late 70s and early 80s, and appears to be moderating. Crime rates, always higher than anyone wants but currently actually way below levels of the past. National debt, out of control (we need to elect people to public office more focused on the country's fiscal responsibility than on their own re-election and personal nest-feathering). I see things in all this that need to be addressed, but I don't see the motivation for a Chicken Little outlook on life in any of it. The greatest threat to the country currently, in my view, is the coarseness of political discourse and the breakdown of civility in society, fomented by prominent politicians who should be doing the opposite. We need to get back to disagreeing amicably and working out those disagreements amicably, rather than demonizing those who view things differently than we do and encouraging mob violence to silence the opposition. It's a representative republic; if we're complaining about the government, we're complaining about ourselves.
It's great to see you have a positive mind set. On the other hand it's election year and most of the things you commented on are not close to being accurate reports. God explained the end times in the Bible and this is it.
Roaring twenties, the phony peace of versailles, gangsterism, bolshevism, weimarian sexual perversion, yes the new twenties I will be here when the new thirties and forties will follow, I will be here for the sob stories that follow in the fifties, but I will bear witness that the sob stories are fake and that the bolsheviks and weimarians got what they asked for Twice
dang I about gave up on you and I think your right about that they keep giving away our money to other countries that's about like having a business and donating all the money to other companies and never doing anything for your own business
I am afraid this depression is going to be way way worse than the last one. 1- people don't know how to farm 2- people dont have access to farms. ( alot of family that left the farm came back during the depression and it made it work) 3- simply people don't know to cook. // here a few years back the church told my friend of a lady with k8ds having a hard time. We killed and butchered a deer for her. She was thankful. But ask how to make meat into food. I am not joking. Cans, pre packaging foods and tv dinners were it. We had to show her the basics of soup/ stewscand evan pan frying. 4- illegal drugs trucks slow down during hard times that makes moving illegal stuff harder. 5- hate to say it. Prescription drugs. People lose insurance. How many people are on mind altering drugs? 6- more criminal behavior is tolerated ( chase bank glitch) mass store theft 7 democrat politicians ( well all politicians but democrats seem to be more for criminal behavior) People this can be really bad
Only in America is all I can say... Sure like your videos focusing on guns and load development ect. The other not so much lol. America needs to take a serious look at itself in relation to its attitude towards guns and politics.

Good to see another video, Tom. Was worried about you for a bit.

Glad you're still around...good luck with your new home

My great grand father would catch a possum, feed it buttermilk for two weeks, then eat it.
It's like distant thunder, you know its coming and you can smell it in the air. We're getting signs here in Australia too. People with severe mortgage stress, skipping meals to pay bills.
Nice update. And yes I too am worried about the economy
Great job! Thanks for sharing!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Another huge issue is insurance rates on just about everything home-related have risen exponentially.
Hopefully u r doing well Tom! Cant wait for ur next video. It has been a while again!
I've had a hard time finding RL 22 powder around where I live.
Glad to see you again. Best wishes for this project. Hope you're wrong but youre probably right.
I hope it doesn’t come to that but I’m afraid you’re correct. Good luck with the new house. God bless
Got a bit worried about you Tom. Good to see you well.

The end is always near

Where you been , I've missed common sense Tom
Hows that 303 going?
Sadly you’re 💯🎯😔
You should have taken that 10k quote on the roof mine came in at 26k.
Where ya at tom? Starting to worry about you.
If you're right firearms values wont increase as much as ammunition values.
Exactly
🎉
Plumbing is civilization.

But that doesn’t make for good UA-cam videos!! 😂
Amen
It's great to see you have a positive mind set.

It's the roaring 20s part two. Just wait.
Roaring twenties, the phony peace of versailles, gangsterism, bolshevism, weimarian sexual perversion, yes the new twenties
I will be here when the new thirties and forties will follow, I will be here for the sob stories that follow in the fifties, but I will bear witness that the sob stories are fake and that the bolsheviks and weimarians got what they asked for
Twice
I’m using my home to produce gains art and film because I want to eventually make money off of those
dang I about gave up on you and I think your right about that they keep giving away our money to other countries that's about like having a business and donating all the money to other companies and never doing anything for your own business
Got to keep the perpetual war machine fed. The US has over 800 foreign military bases around the world. No other country has more than 23.
I am afraid this depression is going to be way way worse than the last one.

2- people dont have access to farms. ( alot of family that left the farm came back during the depression and it made it work)

For sure, if Trump gets in the economy will go down the toilet big time and in a hurry
You are goofy my friend
Thats not nice
