That’s amazing! Yes I’ll definitely reach out. In total I believe the current colony territory at our disposal is 200 acres of pine farm and 100 acres about a 4-5 hour walk away that backs up to about 1000 acres of corporate pine farm land— with the 100 acres currently being secured financially.

My most recent contribution to the group was doing some research into the Big Beautiful Bill Act, Section 179, which allows a farm to write off the entire value of equipment for their taxes in the first year, instead of whatever 14% or smaller amount it was over 7 years— so I put together some suggestions on how the farmers could upgrade their business and property for both profit and sustainability— my hope is that if they can get some cheap mill equipment, between the food farming and expanding pine farming operations, our group should be able to secure building and caloric supplies.

In my free time I’ve been designing different aspects of our off grid survival, my current projects including an earthship style clan house based off Chinese Tulou and Roman Domus; a systemic revival of US rail by constructing alternative fuel engine units and scaling down rolling stock back to Wild West industrial scale to compensate for the losses in engine power (basically Diesel is too irregular to rely on for industry now, and old school steam caused fires. Modern thermodynamics have cleaner solutions. I won’t be detailing those for sake of having some answers held close to the vest); and an exosuit rig for soldiers and scouts designed to turn a gillie SUIT into a shroud, that doubles as a false upper body to scare off predator wildlife.
