    I'm honestly thinking of just running away from society all together and live a survivalist life without buying land😂

    Bought 6 acres top of Orchidland in 2014, just moved here in mid Oct 21. Fences are down allowing the pigs to run free tearing up everything I've been planting including 50 coffee keikis, 8 cacao, several avocado, citrus, lychee, mountain apple, rambutan, a couple ulu, bananas, papayas, mangos and several others, so I bought a pig trap and neighbors and I been working on maintaining the population.
    I grubbed for a house pad, brought in 60 yards of cinder 500 ft driveway and house pad, now working on building the 600 sq ft galvanized steel farm house. Going to check into the NRCS EQUIP Grant as I'd like to get these 2,600 ft of fences back up at some point and a green house would be awesome as well as some irrigation systems for the orchard.

    • @HomesteadinHawaii
      @HomesteadinHawaii  2 роки тому

      YES! This info can help Native Hawaiians get on land where the DHHL has lagged. I donʻt know if there is free land or if owner financing is the way to go (lots of scammers doing owner finance in hawaii, but there are a few selling honestly, sometimes you can find them on Zillow) But the USDA Rural Development loan might be an even better deal than what DHHL offers. You can get a USDA loan for all over Puna, probably in other places too if you have the money for it. Good Luck!!

      @@codyjohnson1535 most people are creatures of comfort. Going off grid means exactly that, no cell phones, no emails, no computers,I personally don’t want anything tracking my whereabouts, especially in this country where they’re trying so hard to be like China with all the personal information sharing. The biggest problem here is the land. Which is owed by either state, federal, or private. So technically no matter where a person is at any given moment, you’re technically trespassing. ( see how fast they exercise that law if you’re somewhere with no intentions of buying anything ) but even if you Owned a spot of land, they always tell you what you can or can’t do on it. It’s ridiculous, but they’ll seize it even if it’s been paid for over a hundred years for a tax infraction. I always tell people that this government basically leases out land to people, and taxes the shit out of it repeatedly, until you’re in tax trouble, then they’ll take it away and resell it. Happens all the time to people with large stretches of land, then someone decides ( the state maybe ) that an airport would be a good spot on your land, only you own it, so they offer you money first, but if you refuse, they use imminent domain law to seize it anyway. Then after the airport is built, your taxes start going up every year until you can’t afford it any longer. But my point is, you have to know how to trap, fish, hunt, and build. I myself have a lot of skill sets, including mechanical and electrical engineering. The best thing a person can do with very little money is pick out a land spot and build underground, ( a spot in Alaska for example ) even if it’s owned by the feds, do they know you’re there, if no one knows where you are?! That’s tax free in my opinion;) but I’m probably about 0.5 percent of the population that would do so, too many people here care to much about computer screens and social media. I personally would rather have my freedom.

      Well. Some people call Pahoa the ghetto in the jungle and if you don’t have a good income right now with high prices these days hawaii may not be the spot for you. I’d think about spots like Missouri or West Virginia where the cost of living is so much lower than Hawaii. And way less “ghetto”. Try look on wwoof.com or ic.org and see if there is a farm and community that would host a small family like yours, although it is so much hard to get a spot as a family in those situations (I know because once I had my second kid not many were willing to host me) but an out of the way spot where people are really looking for others to join them up’s be a good way to go. Plan on having something to offer, like you can do all the cooking or your older kids can weed whack or care for animals. Make yourself indispensable. And good luck.

    Dude I'm trying to live off grid with no money. No money generally means bad credit scores so no loans and no grants first of all. Second of all off grid doesn't keep a job to pay off loans or finance. It's complete self reliant. You are still on the grid if you work in town and pay off bills. It defeats the purpose.
