The "Off the grid" homestead meme is so gay and tiresome

-spend 5 years rigging an HVAC through YouTube tutorials, still doesn't work.
-get killed by a feral methhead hunter
-My phone charger died, let me order one on amaz-...oh
-Ask basic question on r/preppers, not enough karma to post
-L-lets go to a nice steakhouse toni-... oh...
-Solar panels randomly fail, use oil and candlelight like a schmuck
-simple thunderstorm ruins your week, property looks like tartaria
-tHiS iS hOw WE WERE mEaNt tO lIvE
-realise you just wanted a garden
-no, I actually love eating cans of beans on my wood stove!
-Still a fat fuck, will stroke out and die before ambulance arrives

Look at all my acreage! I can start a bonfire, I'm in the sticks! Let me film myself all day, isn't it great? I'm like a pilgrim!
...
you're not Henry David Thoreau, stupid.
I'll take my comfy furnished condo downtown with central air and enjoy being fucked by gangs of roving niggers when shit hits the fan.

- Buy "locally sourced" produce from inbred meth heads who regularly piss and pour PBR on their "crops", then spray 10 pounds of pesticide on them before throwing them into their pickup truxk to trade at the market

There's nothing wrong with putting some distance between you and the modern world, but it's ironic when people who are supposedly "off the grid" have YouTube channels and Reddit accounts. Also, you don't have to go full on hermit to get away from a lot of the bullshit. Small town life is pretty close to the same thing, but at least you're still part of a community.

I live in a small farming community of only a few thousand people and it's pretty great. There was a parade this past weekend on the main route through town. Every local farm had a flat bed trailer turned float, we had our local PD and FD out there and even the American Legion post. It was so fucking wholesome. My wife maintains a garden and we just made a huge batch of pickles from the cukes we harvested. There's no fast food - a McDonald's that's 10 minutes away - and the local bar usually has a few old timers just sitting with guitars trading songs. It's PFG. I didn't think towns like this still existed before moving here.

I (kinda) recently moved out of a town of about 10k to the suburbs. I miss people driving ATVs to the market and my neighbors plowing my driveway when it snowed (3 times a year). The city fucking sucks. Everyone hates each other and everyones just looking to take advantage of everyone else. But also living 3 hours away from civilization sucks dick too. You gotta find that happy medium where youre still kinda far out but have the ability to access a highway and get to places within 20 mins or so.

Peak living is keeping social interaction to a minimum and making sure you're as far away from anyone you talk to as possible.

cukes

How many did you put up your keester and don’t lie

 

[RealTonySchiavone]

I went to school with a guy who does this dumb shit. He was recently boasting about building an "off grid pool". When pressed for more info, he said he dug a hole, put a tarp in it, and then filled it with creek water.

Thats just retards on the Internet larping though, as a feral meth addled hunter myself I think most of these complaints are poser city faggots

Grocery store vegetables fucking suck once you have the species that haven't been bred to be shipped

I live in the middle of nowhere and can do whatever I want. I'm still like 5 minutes outside of town and have a house with shit that works in it.

Everyone I've seen attempt this shit taps the fuck out fast. Mostly defenseless, rapeable women. It's usually people with zero experience in anything useful who might have gone to summer camp when they were 11 and figure they learned and retained everything they'd ever need that summer. Or hippie pussies who grew a couple tomatoes and figure they're definitely set to grow all their own food from now on. I did it for a little while. Hope you don't have a physically taxing job, because when you get home you have a shitload more work that you HAVE to do, no putting it off.

The only dude I've ever seen do it comfortably was this absolute psycho guy I worked with who was jacked, got Lyme disease and lost a ton of weight and would pull a .38 special on anyone who pissed him off. He was made to live in a shack deep in the woods with 16 inbred dogs. He also had a loopy, beaten dog of a wife who would take care of a lot of shit while he was away.

Living off the grid is nice to talk about but 99% of people who say they want to do it are entirely too dependent on the grid to thrive, myself included. I’d thrive for about a day before I realize I’m too much of a pussy to actually do things like hunting and dressing a deer.

My preference would be to buy a good bit of acreage outside a decently sized town and then pimp the place out with good internet, a couple subscriptions, the full O&A audio archive, a nice saltwater pool, a manageable vegetable garden, some cool trees and plants, well water, a spot to shoot clays/targets, a nice garage, etc.

That way I can be isolated from the masses but also have amenities, access to decent services like healthcare, and am within driving distance of restaurants, golf courses, and Costco.

Pretending my life would be better without that stuff is a lie. I’m too much of an over educated suburbanite to start living like it’s 1905.

I just remembered, last time I saw my dad he was telling me about my dyke cousin and her dyke girlfriend planning on selling their dyke house and getting a dyke RV to travel around in for a while before buying a farm.

What a lofty fucking pipedream. The one got hit by a car and got a bunch of money for that and my cousin is a vet tech but just quit her job, so obviously traveling and settling down on a farm is the way to go. Neither of these cunts have ever lived or worked on a farm. They got a few chickens and decided they have it all figured out.

And they have nowhere to go. Like it sounds like they plan on just aimlessly driving around. You can't just pull onto the shoulder of the road and sleep there for a night. Have fun sleeping in Walmart parking lots, stinking, never having a second to yourself and murdering eachother, cunts.
