We are recruiting for an innawoods homesteading community, building from the ground up (literally) in rural Appalachia. We use natural/reclaimed materials wherever possible and focus on prepping, bushcraft, survival, self-sufficiency, self-development, and enjoying life innawoods. 50 wooded mountainous acres with several flat sites accessible on foot. Completely off-grid with solar/gas electric & running water. Big plans for the place including sawmill, blacksmith shop, greenhouse, etc. Far from major cities. Build something before winter or wait til spring. No RV/camper hookups available. No junkies, no trannies, no vaxxies allowed.Just gauging interest, also wondering how best to recruit?
I don't think you want to recruit. Start your community and see who buys in.
/b/tardsk attempts never go anywhere, but I support it nonetheless because building camp in the middle of nowhere is peak /out/ism.
Can this just be a normal appalachia hiking thread and we ignore the crazies?
>>2790876Yeah fuck off glowie.I'll continue to go outside and enjoy nature.
>>2790876spergz about technologyuses AI slop
>>2790876yeah places like that always work out and dont end with standoffs with the atf. i'll pass
sweet, is this the schizo thread ?
>>2790876I bet your wife is so happy.
>>2791205You're right we need to keep this thread on page 1
>>2790876playing pretend to the exclusion of living a real life is incredibly self-destructive son.
Unless you seriously know what you're doing, you should have everything planned out beforehand>how best to recruithttps://www.ic.org/
>recruit on 4chan for idealised fantasy community (kek)>no vaccinationsat least all the kids will die before they get molested
>>2790876Just go join the yellow bus cult. They will even give you one or two free teens as long as you give them babies and your labour. That's how they "recruit" new members because if you fuck one of their kids they own you for life. Worth the trade off? Land, trad wife and a simple life for your freedom? You can find them out in appalachia there.
>>2790876I don’t know how you can recruit good people for that. The people I’ve found who were interested in this and competent were too old plus a little crazy. Like, we don’t need guys having heart attacks while shoveling poop or snow or whatever. Younger people who were interested, though lacking skills, had drug problems and liked to couch surf. I have the means to begin building a modest community, within reasonable driving distance of civilization, but I don’t want to build something and fill it with old folks, hipster layabouts, and crazies. I also don’t want to get Ruby Ridged.
>>2790876chlorine dioxide: general healthvitamin d3 and k2: dentalborax: arthritispretty much all you need
>>2790876Are potheads considered junkies?I smoke & I drink, I don't do anything else and never will. No pharmaceuticals either.
>>2791455>too oldyou're too young and naive
OP here. We already own the land and have been here for a year and a half. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.>>2791413We are aware of IC but we don't want to broadcast our details publicly yet.>>2791455As long as people are physically healthy we dont really care about how old they are. Health has little to do with age; there are 70 year olds in better health than some 20 year olds. There are certainly difficulties finding the right people though. We have had our fair share, thus this post. To be fair, everyone who wants to go live innawoods is a little crazy in some way though, lol. We are reasonably close to civilization.>>2792881That's fine, as long as it's not your entire personality. We smoke too. We also smoke cigs, drink once or twice a month, shroom trip once or twice a year. Just meant no methheads/dope fiends/pill poppers.
>>2790876No, I want to live alone. Good luck though.
Do you guys hike in Appalachia?
not worth it to get too many ppl involved. {they} will send clowns in to screw everything up if it gets big enuf.
>>2793528Coward. And as someone who's lived in voluntary communities and talked to people who've lived in same, your boggeyman doesn't have to send clowns. The clowns show up on their own.What you need is strong defences against the leeches and sabboteurs. You need clear goals, clear values and clear rules of conduct and conflict resolution. You need an ordnung, to borrow a word from the Mennonites.
>>2790876I don't know how best to recruit for a commune from a "community" of people who mostly want to be left the fuck alone. Seems like a recipe for disaster but I hope you record it on video and upload it somewhere for the content.
>>2793549It's always just a hippie cult. No exceptions. It's always a hippie cult with some narcissist theater kid at the top. Anybody who shows up with some skills will be drummed right the hell out at the expense of everyone else because they offended the Dear Leader and threatened his authority.
>>2793551Why are you so proud of being ignorant?
>>2793553Let me know how it works out for you.
>>2793555I'm looking forward to OP posting the recruitment link so I can show up, impregnate all the women, and leave with whoever the hottest one is.
>>2793557>wanting to fuck the one ugly abusive fat chick who'd show up for this.weird flex but you do you son.
>>2792869>chlorine dioxideKike, I'm not going to drink bleach faggot
>>2791455>competent were too old plus a little crazyI noticed this when I was looking for people to join in on 30ish acres in Maine with me. Most responders were in their 50s or to crazy to be worth the risk. Not that I wouldn't take a 55 year old who has skills. Lots.of lighter work is needed and I've worked with plenty of guys in that age range and older that were fit, healthy and functional.
>>2790876>picrelIt took like 75 years for throwaway culture to become normalized,, and people still arent completely dependant on the system.
