From what I gather, most of these are boomer-occupied. That's fine if those are the best ones but I can't help but feeling their insight is a bit dated. I just want to know where the interesting stuff is from people that actually homestead/prep/do survivalism which is more strictly oriented toward these lifestyles
>>2859364Most forums are dead, as the Nu-internet has funneled people onto apps and into like 4 big social media sites. You'd have better luck just patrolling this slow ass board for years on end.Also your pic is 16 years out of date.
>>2859364if you want to have a discussion i would say you'll need to deal with the boomers on either kikebook or one of the apps.i just watch youtubers attempting things for new ideas and strategies.talk in the comments if you must.
>>2859364if i knew how to make my own 4chan i would make one where you have to post proofs you are a homesteader to comment. i hate how are the homesteader forums are full of people talking about their imaginary homestead
>>2859364What's with that non-forested streak sweeping up from Louisiana?
>>2859369This
>>2859369pretty much this. any forum i went to was dead in the water. some are so old they dont even have modern security features. makes them a risk to even join if there is no anonymous posting. also yeah, got a new pic op? that one is ancient.
>>2859386Mississippi delta region.Giant flat floodplane along the Mississippi river.
>>2859386Agriculture in the delta region. No trees because its all fields of basedbeans and rice and cotton
>>2859439>>2859408Huh, thanks. I figured it must've been course of the Mississippi but I was surprised by it having such a wide impact on tree cover beyond the banks of the river itself.
>>2859467Nowadays its just the crops, but in olden times before the river was tamed the mississippi did use to change course over a wide area. Accounts of people with poor farms waking up to find they are rich because the river moved and they are now riverfront property. Or in 1876 the town of vicksburg woke up to find the river had cut a new course elsewhere and they now had no access to it.It also probably would have moved over into the atchafalaya basin way to the west by now had we not forced it to stay in its historical channel
>>2859477Cool map bro
For small land holders in the USA the single best sources of food sustainability are chickens and or rabbits, with chickens being better overall. Larger land holders (over 5 acres) don't need to concern themselves with pic related as you can grow your own feed on that much land or just grow cattle/pigs and direct food plant crops. To hunt alone and get enough food to feed a single man in the SE USA you need to kill and dress at least 13 deer a year, which is unsustainable (if everyone did it the deer would be gone from the entire region within 12-24 months). Permaculture can be fairly prolific for food production if done correctly, on enough land, and with specialized species for the local climate. Even a desert climate is not prohibitive for total food production volume, as Opuntia fiscus-indica and Opuntia engelmannii (drought and cold hardier than fiscus-indica, but less prolific) can produce thousands of lbs of fruit (edible straight up, made into delicious jam, juice, and even wine/alcohol) and paddles (nopales) an acre with zero added water or soil amendments in climates with as little as 10-15 inches of annual precipitation. For weapons, bows are the most sustainable. Wrought iron is also everywhere and easy to produce, the single easiest source is dry washes and bog/swamp soils. Clay production is stupidly easy with a 5 gallon bucket and some sheets and water and soil. Firearms are the least sustainable but can be sustained if you have advanced knowledge of chemistry, ores, smithing, and farming. Galena ore can give you both elemental sulfur (most precious black powder ingredient) and lead (bullets) when processed properly. Salt peter (potassium nitrate) is extracted from soils where animals and or humans have pissed and pooped on repeatedly, especially composted soils of that nature. And charcoal comes from burning wood resources obviously. BP is 75 parts salt peter with 15 parts charcoal with 10 parts sulfur. The finer charcoal the better the mix.
>>2859746thanks chatgtp
>>2859386Probably clear cut for resource extraction. Louisiana isn't exactly an /out/ friendly state. >>2859757We really do need filters against bots like that.
>>2859364ive been watching fallout raccoon for prepping tips. this video has a TON of information on the best places to survive https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WOGevNleHYc
>>2859364why roleplay for surviving the apocalypse, when you can get rich and actually survive the apocalypse
>>2859757Not a bot. I've been posting here for 16 years this year, almost everyone else on here that isn't a bot is a newb and will call any actual effort and on topic information overload post "bots" or autists. Fact of the matter is, those people have actual decades of experiences relevant to those topics and fields and even polymath studies and are basically wizards to the unwashed masses which are generally, extremely naive and or stupid (and also don't know or care where their food comes from).
>>2859762>watching garbage AI slopGet /out/. You wouldn't know your ass from your elbow, in terms of quality survival content.
>>2859762>AI slop channel>top comment points out how retarded the video is
>>2859369This. >>2859887>>2860253My guess is anon is a retard that doesn't go outside much.
>>2860365lmao this is my cabin
>>2860372is this some kind of humiliation fetish for you?like a pervert who gets off on flashing his micro dick off at women in a park?
>>2860372Nice to see the progress but, uh, ain't that roof a little fucking shallow for somewhere with snow?
>>2860415the roof is a 1/12 pitch, it was fine during the snow storm.
>>2860387why does me building a cabin make you so mad? just pretend you dont see it bro
>>2860419Anon is just jelly that you have a cabin when all they have is a room in their mother's basement.
>>2860419He's just a in idiot.During his free time he's Reddit mod.
>>2860419>>2860430>>2860447>[angry cuckshed enthusiast sounds]kek
>>2860419Because you act like a retard when people try to point out things you can do better and what king of mentally crippled fucksmear puts their arm in the path of their axe?Why the fuck would you go all that way with hand hewn logs and then put a fucking hobby lobby lumber roof on it?
>>2859364I lost my homestead site to a forest fire and it set me back about 10 years. I'm still fucked right now and not really sure what I'm going to do. If you make a community the government doesn't approve of, they will just burn you out.If some commie terrorist on drugs wants to destroy your town, he can in a single day with a single act of arson.Resilience doesn't mean living in the forest anymore. You're just living on a pile of kindling. If you serious about homesteading/survivalism figure out where to live that isn't prone to going up in flames or drowning in a flood.
>>2860529>Because you act like a retard when people try to point out things you can do better i am just having a little bit of fun while i make a little tool shed to put my tools and stuff in, im tired as my house doubling as a workshop.>and what king of mentally crippled fucksmear puts their arm in the path of their axe?i worked in oil and gas most my life and they pound safety into our heads. i was thinking being in the line of fire and about hand injuries being our number one injury. i was stoned af and having fun though.>Why the fuck would you go all that way with hand hewn logs and then put a fucking hobby lobby lumber roof on it?i built a fence with oak of the similar size and the horizontal pieces started to sag within a year plus i was over the cabin and just wanted to get it done and move onto my garden. its almost spring and i want to break out two more beds.picrel:view from inside
>>2860387fuckin lel
Just a friendly reminder: don't reply to trolls.
>>2860567>i worked in oil and gas most my life and they pound safety into our heads. i was thinking being in the line of fire and about hand injuries being our number one injury. i was stoned af and having fun though.Seems like they were pounding something, and it wasn't your head or safety. Go figure a subsentient drug slave is incapable of assimilating knowledge.
>>2860567bro that's not even a wall, it's a fence. you can fit your fucking hand through the gaps in it
>>2860567I could pee through your walls and you wouldn't be safe inside
>>2859834Keep posting dude, just ignore the retards that hate the idea of someone knowing more than they do.
until something actually happens that warrants survivalist and prepping skills being useful, all you'll get are LARPers who like the dopamine of new equipment. There'll be lots of speculation about ideas, efficacy of certain strategies or equipment, but nothing backed by actual evidence or even sound reasoning. Those communities then self-police everyone into being LARPing gear freaks who have extremely strong opinions on which >$100 tarp is more waterproof. yawn!There might be actual survivalists or preppers doing their thing, but they aren't online. And if we ever did get a prep-worthy event then the internet is probably gone.So it's a wash. Your best bet are books of people who have hands-on experience, journals of people in equivalent situations, and just testing stuff yourself.
>>2860567lol dudeusing real trees for walls but 2x4 and sheet metal for roof is extremely fail. but those gaps! you saw them as you were putting it up. did you just not care?what exactly do you think the point of a wall is? why even bother with a roof if you're going to lose all your heat and dry from a slight breeze? why have a door if anything smaller than a housecat and squeeze in anyway? take a tape measure to that top gap, if it's around 4in, and it looks like it probably is, than a fucking raccoon can get in no problem
>>2862124im going to chink the gaps with 2 parts clay, 1 part wood ash and 0.5 parts sand. you put crumbled up chicken wire in the bigger gaps but moat wont need that. after that is baked dry im gonna stain the outside with old motor oil and deisel mixed together to preserve wood/deter bugs
