I think you’re incredibly brilliant. very commonsensical. I love it.
When your kids get older and they have their families, you will have lots of people to help you. A family compound. Best to keep it in the family. Trust is a huge thing.
I’m thinking multi generational households is the way we are headed.
Isn't multi generational what the homesteaders originally set out to do?
Historically, we've been non-multi-generational for a lot less time than not, but yeah, I'd say most of us are headed back to it.
You’re right about the lack of production mentality.
Fully agree on the community front and "barter/exchange" system. I want to set up a cafe for my local area. For those who don't have money are welcome to come help and pick their own food. We need more community! High five. Keep carboning!😊
Immensely helpful, thankyou brother.
I was living in Toronto in a small home, we sold and bought a farm in NS. We've been planting trees and have a large garden, chickens, goats, bees and make our own maple syrup. I wish others would just do it and stop talking about doing it.
Great community video
What a superb plan.
As someone else says
"I’m thinking multi generational households is the way we are headed"
This is how it used to be,for a reason - and still is for some nationalities.
It's going to be guys like you that will get us through to hopefully the other side of this Orwellian nightmare!
💪
You sir are verbalizing my inner thoughts.
Great ideas to ponder! If only the governments wanted to help people thrive! I was raised on a farm and hope for that kind of life now. For now, I’ve been growing medicinal perennials, fruit trees & small gardens on my urban lot of a town in Alberta. I buy produce & some groceries from local producers. I’m learning more about holistic health & plants.
A1 brother you are on the right track.
I wish I was twenty years younger I would say I am your person.
Tons of ideas and connections in your area....
Saskatchewan is the place to be. 👍
I am just like you. I have to consume to produce. To produce power, you have to consume by buying solar collectors. To produce vegetables in a cold climate, you have to consume to produce by purchasing materials to make a greenhouse. In my opinion, it all equals out in the end.
dang it..... i just realize how for some years now im with a mindset extremly close to this... and trying to do the stuff i can in a way i know i can give value to others who are shifting their way of thinking from todays norms to a way that actually it is not that hard to do stuff in a way that both sides can get the best "bang for the buck" and be happy with the achievment.... but it is hard after distancing from people to start to form the community... but it is a good thing i realized that it is better to WORK HARD on building the right community than to distance myself and TRY to do everything on my own... im thankful that i stumbled on this video cuz it helped sorting my thoughts ♥
Great. Good to hear. 💪
millions and millions of square kilometers of land, and people living packed in like rats, and some
cant even find a box to live in. speaks volumes about the way things are going.
Very interesting conversation. I have been living in RVs for almost five years now. I have spent time in Colorado with a friend homesteading and we did exactly what you talked about.
I would trade my time gladly to learn more skills from you or someone else.
I have offers to stay on homesteads if things go pear shaped due to my skills. My friend in Colorado calls me a mix of MacGyver and Michael Scofield from the show Prison Break. 😂😂
I’m in Texas looking at ranch land myself at the moment.
Don't forget the trust issue Dean love your stuff
Outstanding. Thank you! This is my dream.
There is a whole group looking for this just like myself. They are floating between Sask and Alberta
What a fantastic idea. Hope you are able to make it work. Looking forward to seeing more.
Great ideas. I think one thing people will be looking for will be future security, like a retirement of sorts. Living a much better life day to day for some chores is great, but I see that as "renting", if you will. While that may work for some in the near term, I think most will want to "own" in the long term. If you find some really good people, and want to keep them around, you may need to figure out how to let them be "owners" in their own future. Maybe some kind of option to earn a piece of land from you (no idea how much you have), or something along those lines???
It’s a difference between an internal community, and having a community of neighbours. Government doesn’t really allow subdividing further. I hoping to find some guys for my set up, but also hope some guys buy land and do their own set ups around me. 👍
I have built enough to consume in place for several months. Production is limited on .25 acres. The long term goal is to establish a productive homestead like yours. I have the land out of town and have established access. Hopefully, I will have a water well in a couple months. And then I can finish my bugout bus as a cabin on wheels for the family after that. Doing this without debt is a lot of work, but you are right: production is key. 🔑
Good cover song BTW; once again showing how creepy big brother is only using the original lyrics this time 😅.
Sounds like a dream for me, a good one!
It's interesting that you've arrived at a similar idea to one I've had. I won't lay it all out here, but it takes a lot of parts of multi-generational farmsteading, prepping, stacked income streams, agritourism, and the Commons and rolls it up into a nice package.
20 year old me was very consumption oriented, but I didnt have the resources to be productive.
35 year old me is far more productive. I moved out of town got some solar and can fix my own vehicles. In a few years Ill probably have a similar set up to you.
My point is prepping is a lifestyle.
Been there, done that! Too many times! People have the best intentions but they slack off when life gets difficult or upsetting, which is always coming and then the landowner will always end up "working or paying" for the newcomer, in one way or another. I know it is a pessimistic way of looking at your thinking but in my experience, it won't work long term, as in weeks.
I've been thinking on the production and van life folk myself for years . I too when I purchase things it's not fir consumption everything has a job . I have 3 trailers on my 15 acres, I had been thinking of offering them as living space during shtf ,but maybe it'd be better to have a van life person come and stay . I have 3 hoop houses I grow winter crops in seed production, and some summer production. I've got some machinery too . Backhoe and like .it's alot for a single 68 year old female to take care of. One thing that concerns me alot is getting taken advantage of ..that's why I've hesitated building " community".
Its a great idea, problem then becomes, in the end times, who can you REALLY trust. Thats a big downfall if that person you let into your circle turns on you. So It could be a advantage but it also could be a big disadvantage. Great ideas though. Love your mindset, me and my husband are the same. When people listen to us they think we are crazy. We sold our nice house to purchase 10 acres, 40 minutes away. Yep so they think we are nuts. We think our goal is going to be just stay small, just for our family etc. Its all God willing of course.
i think this is y people had a lot of kid's back in the day . and i think being a farm hand and being payed with room and board was normal but i could be wrong thanks dean keep up the good work
You are a good person. Sounds like you are wanting to build a refuge. People will need help. Stay safe as you continue to ponder. Building a trusted community is better than trying to survive on your own. Best wishes.
Great chat..
If I head North.
I'll be right there Man 😂
Got a tiny system ... park trailer, grow food, feed horses.
Quirky tiny tiny trailer has rolled to a few farms.
Stock from Nate
Bunch of skills
Looking for like-minded but warmer to build a hobbit house over a ... 😂🌴🤠
You raise my questions and concerns. I am "old" I have been told. Crazy for buying my property. Too much for me to handle. I am still working to prepare for changing lifestyles and I wish I had the knowledge and skills you have. But then I know I have knowledge and skills and just need to go forward as I am able.
You asked for ideas. So I have some ideas.
I dont have any clay and for my large snow smelt pond. It fills up and goes dry quickly. I will need to line it to hold for irrigation all season. At least that is my thoughts. I bought this property almost 4 years ago approaching winter. There is an upper elevation well that can gravity feed the pond to keep if full. I bought this property inheriting dreams and efforts of someone in the past. I am 4th owner in a string of short turnovers since pond was operational. When I purchased it was about 8 years since it was used maybe. Piecing what I had to work with from investigating and together what I was looking at from discovery and neighbors. History passed on is important. Like knowing where the water lines are located, there depth. I still have zero particulars for my two wells. And keeping the pump house warm enough has failed quite expensively. Beginning to believe its frozen water before it reaches the well house. Thanks to you.
I have a green thumb. Planning a year round greenhouse. ThoughtvI had it designed until I landed on your channel. Worse I see is minus 35 F. So remote here in Washington state eastern side on southern reach of Canadian rockies. Water is pure. South facing property on slope. Soil is deep. I didnt expect that so its a blessing. I have feet of soil to dig down and help on warmth.
So my obvious opportunities for growing food where others faced dry wells and poverty with skyrocketing food costs. Having the resources to abundantly grow gives me pause to consider this need.
So my acts have been to buy heirloom seeds and seek out varieties with high nutrition. Then learn/teach to seed collect from a single mature produce. Seeds are expensive and quickly becoming unavailable. Even prohibited purchase during the Covid lockdowns. This was a huge clue. Mail order still OK then. Now plants are 5 times their costs preCovid and pre high enflation. Obvious they dont want yiu feeding yourself and others. So saving seeds is critical.
Bumble bees have suoer declined. So instead of growing hay fir animals, i will be planting flowers to feed the bees. And trade food for feed.
Thanks 🙂. People will cap their pond with bentonite clay, I beleive about 6 inches. Or a liner could work. And get that greenhouse built. We save many seeds, especially heirloom tomato varieties. ✌️
I am looking for this exact living experience. I have a wife an 4 children, can't afford a home so I've been looking for space on farms, homestead's. But most don't want the hassle. Still looking anyway
Wars happen, and it happened these days, my friends had to leave their houses they built with their own hands they left so much of work behind. Now talked lately with one of them, they are thinking to become more mobile) Diversify their life. Have apartments/houses in different countries. Bank account? - One in Europe, one in US, one in UAE. One citizenship-passport? Better 2-3 residence permits more in differrent countries. Think about that.
I have had that idea rolling around the grey matter for some time. I love it , you got me thinking again. I live a couple hrs south of you ,practaley neighbor's.
As always, you give a lot to absorb in one video. On the producing side we are getting pretty well set up, still need to build “The Greenhouse” and figure out an efficient way to make diesel fuel for the equipment.
Creating a likeminded community to share the workload is fantastic, just not sure I want them on my property full time.
Me actually I'm a consumer but mean time I try to be a little producer for my family. I'm leaving in a rent home and I don't have a big backyard so for now I make a various 4 ft x4 x6 green house with free wood, next summer I'm in 3rd year of production is not so much but better than nothing. Last 2 years I spent time and money for transforming my " rent garage " in a mini house full operating just for a temporary shelter. Next I think about....
P.S. good choice sting 😊
Funny you are talking about this because it's been on my radar too. I've thought about doing a park up site with a community building type thing, kinda like camp when we were kids.
I'm glamping in my tiny tiny in exchange for feeding a few horses..
It's great 🌴🤠
Sounds wonderful, however once you invite someone to your property there may be legal problems down the road. Remember there is a spiritual war going on and people's moral fortitude varies especially as times get tougher. Familiarization can cause contempt. Best wishes for you realizing your production dreams!
Sounds like to good ole barter system…
Worked great for our great grandparents
and generations before them…
Your on the right track, brilliant plan. I’m investing in production to build alliances.
May God bless you through all tribulations and live on-into a new age, what a wonderful world it will be :)
It could be great. 👍💪
You mean modern feudalism. I own the land and u work my land in exchange for safety and a portion of the production. While i do agree its better then alot of peoples lives i couldn't be the serf. Love the videos btw and really admire what you have aetup
Being a serf would be an improvement to today. The king only took 25% of your potatoes, and that’s it. 👍
the thing is, if you open up your home to people you assume responsibility for the people.
Thanks for spinning my wheels. 😂
I'm also from Saskatchewan, what really really really worries me is that this is the Dominion of Canada. You dont own anything, the Crowne does. They just have to raise your land taxes so high that you can not pay and it goes back to our glorious King. We also have been busy planting fruit trees and every year we have a bigger garden than we actually need. Everyone should learn how to can/preserve food and butcher. Would like to add some kind of nut trees to our growing food forest but it seems limited due to our cold climate. If your are good with a rifle scope and a fish hook you will survive. Keep up the good work, your videos help wake the sheep up. Fight the good fight and down with the NWO!!!!
You are correct. It’s all law and we don’t own anything in their law. I’m learning all about this to see if there are any actions I can take. In the meantime, they’ll have to see how far they can push the slaves until there are repercussions. 👍✌️
We are in 306 sask and i just made a fb post asking people on my friends list that see my post… if any of them would be interested in relocating to our land for free in exchange for daily chores. But yea we are stuck on the fine details. We have had some interest via private messages. Ideal physically fit males would be ideal. Or a male & female couple would be ideal
Also. Preferably under 50 yrs old. I think it would be difficult to find someone long term and tit who is 50+ and slowing down physically and becoming more susceptible to injury and long term disease etc… would hate for it to have to come
Down to evicting a great elder person due to then not holding their own or something like that. The fine details are definitely challenging right now
TWD community in 2024.
Here In Bulgaria /EU/ we have occasionally something like this.
Group of peolpe living in a large parcel of land ex-production site. One or few of them is running some kind of a bussines and pay the bills, /be it lumber or machining/ while others live in their small cabins or containers and help with what they can. On of them raising chickens, others have pigs. Small garden is placed somewhere. Often the bussines man lives in his house in the same land and his kind play with the other's kids. It has a stigma that this type of life is only for poor people, but I know for sure one of them landlords and they are over 7 digits. When you look at them you deffinetly can't say that 😂.
Smart in a sense.
Awesome outlook! We produce a small garden each year, have a bunch of fruit trees and bushes, and have a gathering space in the yard of our city home. We run a home based business helping people move without pain. Making the space the most productive as possible too.
My philosophy is we each have skills that can impact our lives and communities we live in. I like the analogy of our contribution to community being an ocean, and as people, represented by boats, expressing their talents in life, adds to the ocean and all boats float higher. We are currently looking at land to have a very efficient house and healing space for clients too. Similar to your setup, we would like to have year round growing area and some animals too. In our mid 50's, we have lots of possibilities to step up to this next phase of our lives.
Brilliant Dean!
I love that you are doing this! I hope it is a huge success, and that you find some truly suitable individuals to work with.
This is a very nice version of what I am planning with some Voluntaryist friends from around Europe, to create in Spain. 100% Off-grid, people being able to live on the project to work, while setting up their own homestead and/or OHS business, and get the benefits and potentially shares of the profits. Anyone interested, gimme a shout. I already have a rough base of operations going with volunteers and collaborators. We focus on Open Source Hardware development for off-grid systems, but all kinds of skills and experiences is needed to run gardens, computer tasks, construction, media, economics, etc.
So great. 👍👍👍
We are a young couple living in Northern Ontario with 150 acres and have the same mindset as you! We are 100% off grid but pretty hard sometimes in a cold climate.
I’ve come to realize there is no such thing as off grid, but you can definitely reduce your dependence on it. I gotta get on some electricity here. 👍✌️
@@ArkopiaUA-cam it's really hard off grid haha! Im doing everything myself and with my own wallet so yeah still young with lots of debts so everything is slow. This summer we are working on a nice big root cellar before building a greenhouse like you.
I gotta get on the root cellar behind the greenhouse at some point too. Just keep on keeping on. Same boat.
DUDE! You are awesome. Love what you are doing. If you come to BC come visit our farm!
We are trying to transition to production. ❤
Curious. Ethical and moral alignment would be key. I like what I am hereing and would like to chat. Been in my rv for 2 years, with 2 wolfhounds and 7 chickens in the old coop on the fams property, that I come and go from. Also have done alot of sketching and thinking about house and green house concepts. Love your vedios Dean. Keep up the good work, praise the creator. May He bless you with many helpful hands.🐺🙏🐺
You are on the right track.
For your produce sales it would be advantageous to start with people from your market area in Saskatchewan.
Great idea!❤
I really like your idea. I think its absolutly awesome, rewarding, and super cool how projects turn out when multiple thinking heads work togther. I'd be down to even help you for free with nothing in return to just get in touch with likeminded outdoorsman survalists with common sense. Hard to find nowadays. That's exactly how canada was orginally built. You were essentially family with your neighbours and the community around you. Get stuff done then sit back after a good day and talk over a bon fire in the evening and enjoy the ending of each day. And i do believe you are the right guy to make a go at somthing like that because your a reasonable man whos level headed and i know its not possible for a guy like you to get easily angered or start unnecessary drama. Your a long range thinker, and not a guy that basis emotion on short term irregularities. So don't be shy to ask us like minded folks for help whenever you need it.
No drama or petty things for this guy. 👍 Glad the concept is making sense; makes me think it’s right. 👍💪
Dang no content warning from YT today.. consider solar grid tied, We did about 4 years ago and expanded last year in Alberta. Its more than viable here. Sask Power's Net metering rules may not be as generous. Good video we try to be Producers that barter our excess.
Very good!
My style would be an earthship style home but I want to incorporate a biogas toilet. I've always thought van lifers need a landing zone even if it's just a rented parking spot somewhere. I agree though I like how minimalist their lives seem. I too live in a small home almost tiny with 6 of us. 😂
Small houses are great in many ways. 👍✌️
That’s how the old farmhouses are: little homes, large planting
Yes house is a liability. The nicer you build it the more rent the government will extort from you. Property tax is what ultimately enslaves us. Without it we could opt out of their evil system.
I found and old deer hanger on my property and have been using for bear and deer. I have been using acorns for bait to help habitat. All about making better habitat for humans and animals. Government always wants a cut. As currencies loose value governments become more controlling and greedier to make up the value and loose of control. Lower currencies values mean more poverty, crime, homelessness, hunger, and drug use. Since 2012 it's been climate change, social justice, and divide too distract from over government over spending. Things aren't getting better.
While it might work in Canada in your specific provence, in the US the ability to do something like this would be determined by the regs and laws of specific counties within each State. Now... I don't know this for a fact as I've not researched this specific use case. It strikes me that 'putting a pin' in a place, esp. if done online, for vanlife/short term, long term camping etc. would ping the radar of more US county officials who would then try to tell you that you were effectivly running a campground, and would be required to meet whatever codes might exist (or be especially put on place just for you!!) to keep operating. IDK... I really like the idea. But even if NO 'monies' are exchanged, I still can't see a scenario where the local tax man/woman (or the CN equivalent) might not come knocking. The communes in the 60's through early 80's ran into these issues. All that said, it's really does get a person to start thining about setting up not only a single location, but a network of locations in the US and Canada where the increasing number of intentional or unintentional nomads could travel from spot to spot! I am in WY, where regulation is still somewhat constrained and land is abundant (and has a very similar climate as you, though that is changing each year.) The main take away from this vid was the idea of cultivationg a production mindset, whatever that may mean to the individual. Thank you for that alone!
You may have to call the people “interns”, or even “congregation”. Who knows. Government gives grants for “Mexican temp workers” for farms, for whatever reason. Local workers, not so much. 🤪
There are a lot of exceptions for "temporary farm workers"
Perhaps potentially owning a share is also something to consider.
Research Earthship Biotecture in New Mexico. They been teaching people how to live as off grid producers for decades now.
Michael Reynolds (founder) started as one man with a vision like this talk here.. now his vision has evolved into what it is today.
Before the school started 10 years ago people would show up paying their own way just to volunteer and learn through working hard everyday.
For sure. An internship or apprenticeship if you will. Joel Salatin does this as well. People learn a ton. Win win
@@ArkopiaUA-cam thank you for your vision and talk as well. You are doing amazing work and making a difference. I would be interested in helping advance your vision as I have helped Earthship Biotecture as well. I believe in what you we doing!
Love the way you think!! I would bring a camper and be a permanent gardener for your operation. If shit hits the fan, I'll be sending you a message!
Why wait?
production
defence
same as now farming
In the Stone Age, wandering worked because there was only about one human per square mile. Even then, if you wandered into somebody else's territory you would probably be very dead very fast. It's all about the carrying capacity (food base) of the land as in what is available to eat per square mile. In a coastal area with lots of tide pools and fish it might (wow) get as high as 5 people per square mile, or 1 person per 20 square miles in the desert. At higher population densities, humans tend to get very homicidal or cannibalistic unless they stay in one place and produce their own plants to eat and meat to eat. Hunger kills in more ways than one, so van life types won't last for long. Nor will the gasoline or spare parts.
I think those numbers are for foraging and hunting, not homesteading. Maybe it’s 1 acre in total per person, done right. 🤷🏻♂️
You are right. Without agriculture it takes an average square mile to feed one human. In case of agriculture through homesteading, an acre can feed 15-20 people. If there is no drought, no early frost, no plague of locusts, no raids by murderous marauders, etc. etc.@@ArkopiaUA-cam
Ive had similar plans. The problem I ran into is, the land owner is all powerful this situation is ripe for abuse.
My solution that I came up with is having several families buy a hundred acres and build a community.
That’s why I refer to it as “internal” community, and “external” community. Be nice to have tons of neighbors with similar set ups.
I am kinda experiencing this abuse. Senior parent, but won't invest into upkeep.
Another idea I had was renting "4 season camping" lots out to like minded people. Now they dont need to help out but they are contributing with money. 10 lots at 350 a month is enough to buy more equipment and tools. Also give you the ability to pay for labor without an exchange of money. " help me build this garage the next 2 weekends and Ill waive 2 months rent"
@@evansaw293 Check out your area's laws. We have a 160 acres of mostly bush in Alberta and had similar plans. Wasn't long before we ran into provincial and county bylaws that prevented most of our plans. The only way around them is to do things on the "hush, hush". But you'd better be dealing only with people you can trust and get along with or it won't be long before they rat you out.
I produce in my prep, but no where near enough income from that production to overcome mortgage. I also am responsible for my own water. Grid tied right now as well. Would like to be wood stove but theres not much trees in southern sask so offgrid heat would be way more than gas right now. Thinking about planting a wood lot. I believe its 15 acres of woodlot to sustainably heat a small 1000 sqft home?
Ya, I think 10 acres gets a sustainable 1 or 2 cords per year if properly managed.
shit thing is when you produce people will want what you produce.
You need to be many to defend a farm.
a big family is the best.
When can I sign up?
You have room, we are 60 ish and are thinking along the same lines as you. Have to stay in Barrie ON until end of April. Is this an invite to come over
My little operation could just use 1 or two sets of hands. I hope more people set up similar systems.👍
@@ArkopiaUA-cam how many acres do you have, we are looking for property either AB or SK
Also thank you so much for all the help you have given and give👍
I have the minimum required for “ag” zoning, which is my rule in the jurisdiction I live under. Every jurisdiction (municipality) is different. Some in British Columbia allow multiple dwellings with “recreation” zoning, which we don’t have here. Do your research and find slightly more freedoms in different places.
We are les than an hour North of Calgary and have room for an RV for 2 days at a time, Water power Septic and free DIY firewood. Come on over and use us as a starting point.
I'm trying to become more of a producer one step at a time. I think it would be tough to trust some random folks and immerse them into your life like that. Vetting would be very important, but where do you start?
My brain is still processing things completely. Pretty sure the offer is a good one and you’d have a LOT of interest.

Van life only works if civilization functions around them. It's akin to a long vacation, or like being a hobo with a vehicle. Nothing wrong with that necessarily, it just is what it is. It's not a sustainable life for many people, if anyone at all.
Did i hear 100 year old roof? What is it made of?

Well brother Dean, after making my way through all the commercials, I decided to watch your video again👍.1 thing that I differ from your teachings is that I follow God's Laws for the proper attitude to live life .
All these man made laws are initially based on the 10 commandments .But as time progresses, Society tends to ignore the wisdom of God's laws and his Words of truth.
So now as you laid out the political, economic and social realities facing everyone in the whole world, we are now entering the age of total stupidity especially when we elect idiots who cannot think rationally enough to figure out how to tie their shoe laces but believe that since they are elected officials, that they have now been indowed with some sort of super intelligence and super abilities and authority to dictate to the masses what direction in life is mandatory for total success in life.
These idiots are totally corrupt in their thinking. But I'm not telling you something that you already know, but I have to register the thought.
Your ideas are wonderful in principle but realize that you are the creator of that ideal .But 5hese doesn't mean that everyone who shows up at your doorstep will already have your mindset in place.
The basic problem lies in the core belief structure of each individual.
Some mental beliefs are of the "fuck you rich farmer man , I'm gonna steal,lie and cheat you out of your house and property ". This mentality already exists in many countries in the world. It is Bourne from the Roman CATHOLIC CHURCH, where they state that " It's okay to steal because someone has need of your possessions ".So unless you have a vetting system in place, you might want to rethink your utopian 💡 ideals.
The 10 commandments cover everything as to how man should live to be prosperous and happy.
Anything less than that will only lead to catastrophe and death to you and your family.
Think about what I'm saying Dean brother.
I tell you this to protect you from massive disappointment in mankind's evil behavior.
Yes, must vet anyone thoroughly into the “internal” community set up. Not all perfect, just ideas I’m contemplating.
Truth
How did you have the capital to invest into the farm and all the equipment you have?
I literally built everything for the price of our city house. And built all myself. Instead of labour, I’d get tools.
@@ArkopiaUA-cam amazing! I sold my house for the farm.
Sure start a tv show about Deans Life and you can make the world you want until then you are stuck in the world we have now. Remember how lucky you are there is not enough land in Canada for everyone to live your lifestyle.
There is more than enough land. The amount of production I can get off my land is insane.
If we all lived like that who would we sell our production to, they would have made their own already. @@ArkopiaUA-cam
Don't get me wrong I love the dream.
@offgridwanabe If we all lived that way, we wouldn't have need to sell anything or at least sell/trade for what others produce that we don't. And share as needed. 🤔🙂
What would I trade when you already have what you need as you made your own. Now if you only let in the people who specialized in one thing and controlled so there were no overlaps then you would have created a need for what others have. But then nobody would want to live there and be subject to the rules. @@JK-jf7xq
Sounds like sharecropping. Work without the benefit of ownership or control. Of course, it would seem mutually beneficial at first, but it's not.
Is that you singing the intro?
Maybe. 😂
@@ArkopiaUA-cam I liked it Bro.
Extra creative points.
The Canadian Sting 😂
A lot of RV parks exchange work for free rent. It only equals minimum wage when you do the math. In the end you have zero savings and eventually are to old to work. ⚰️
Retirement was a temporary phenomenon and won’t exist in the future. In all other parts of the world, the elderly would teach children, watch children, do simple things, and be taken care of. Now, it’s boomers yoloing the last multi decades, and creation of old folks homes. Not going to work much longer
I'm struggling just to get to a place where I can make progress on improving my life :/
It’s designed that way to an extent, yes.
@@ArkopiaUA-cam I s'pose I ought to just pull myself up by my bootstraps heh
It’s harder by the day. If you are determined you can find ways, or look for an existing set up that you can integrate into, like I spoke of in the video. 👍✌️
@@ArkopiaUA-cam I'm trying my best here but I just don't see a way out. I have some ideas come spring but if those don't pan out I don't know what else is left 😢
@@3nertia It's not easy, think where people don't want to be but is still property where you can be a 'producer'. Again, it's not easy, it's soo much work. Dean already has the tools to get to a certain 'scale' of production. Ford Tractor, Skid Steer... and that ugly dodge pickup...
Men are meant to Produce, Protect and Provide ... if they don't work towards this they become deadbeat.
People in the city are DEPENDENT who ONLY produce poop. People in the country are INDEPENDENT who produce everything.
That statement "your house is NOT an asset" is the hardest thing for 'normies' to understand -- my cousin thinks she's not a normie but she could not understand this. Your house is a liability because it takes money out of your pocket (Richdad) ... if your house puts money into your pocket it would be an asset. Most people's houses are liabilities especially urban home owners where the municipalities continue to add bills ... recycling bins, water meters, road paving, etc.
Without land a man is nothing.
you are gonna need horses to work the land and the ancient equipment.
gasoline is going to be the first difficulty.
I wanna move away from people. Less populations and more resources. I wanna live where there is no infrastructure to fail. I already bought the property and dug my piers and foundations. I have a natural food forest. Basically a big sugar bush around 15 kinds of berries. We build modern houses to cost you money every month. Going with passive solar earthship type cottage. No tires or berm. I would be living up there now but no shelter. Water, food, shelter, first aid/medications, means of defense, and a plan. I am the working on a homestead type prepper. Looking to live cheap as possible as the currencies loose value. Planted fruit trees too. I got traps to and lovely fur baring animals. I like tips for ice fishing. I am trying to gtfo asap but with tools that I need. It's easier to find garage sale traps now and cheaper than farther north. It's about stores of value. 15$ for 5 old traps of different sizes. I like cast iron too. Buy it for life. Half the cabin and cottages in the U.p. sit vacant.
I wish I could be a producer of diesel fuel.
Where is your large solar array? Where is your battery bank? I don’t see it. You were still on the petroleum bandwagon and you should not be.
Working on it. One thing at a time. Food and heat is more important for us here.
There is something wrong with your sound.
I have a hard time taking the wind rumble noise out all the time.
Otherwise great video and idea. A man needs a tribe around him and there are many people like myself that see the value and generosity of what you are offering. If I could convince the wife to move to SK I would be applying for the opportunity.
Just be d*** picky you don't want to have a rotten apple. Destroy what you work so hard to build. I would review what the rights are for squatters in your province and federally.Just to make sure that there's not an unfair advantage for them to lead.Clean to whatever it is that you built
I am planning for the inevitable collapse of Judeo Christian order and wondering if India vs West will still remain a topic because West will fall to Islam.
From listening to you talking, I see you smoke like a chimney. As awfull a disaster can be, I think it will make you stop smoking. In your case, the risk of you dying from lack of food is much lower than dying from the effects of smoking. I hope you never die of course. But, people should spend their time prepping for a high risk event like the effect of smoking or alcohol on you, and mitigate that before prepping for the end of the world.
Any video outside I have to heavily edit the wind rumble out. That’s with a wind damper mic and sock. Makes it sound weird and breathy, otherwise video has to be discarded.
Too many lazy people out there 😴
