Moving to the ozarks to start life

Hi all.  I am finally down to my last prep steps for making the move to homestead my life away.  I have dreaded this so hopefully before my end with tech mayhap someone here can show me that this phone and internet can do some good before I trash it.  

I'm moving down to the ozarks and I'm scouting out different locations stretching over about 22k square acres to choose to make my start.  I'm looking to make friends, meet people, find like minds, maybe enlist other hands, and or possibly even lend my own to others.  

Beyond that my plan is to start with the tools I'm accustomed to, the supplies I need to sustain my start, and past that everything else in my future world will be from the land.  Understanding that modern people will require some modern things over time, especially in the first few years of trial error and experimentation I know I'll never be completely disconnected but that's the true goal.  People who have the capacity to appreciate people and life above all the bright and shiny stuff feel free to say hi.  Teach me something or learn something.  

I'll be gone by winter so if you come across this post in 2023 I'm no longer within reach

Welcome to the forum!

someone here can show me that this phone and internet can do some good before I trash it.

If you trash the phone and internet how will you keep up with what is going on on the forum?

How will you ask questions about how to build this or which was is better for this or that?

When we were building our house I spent every day researching how to do something.

Then when I was planting the garden, I ask about this plant or that one.

I found the forum trying to ID plants on the property to find which ones were edible.

You have come to the right place for doing just that.

Have you narrowed down which part of the Ozarks you are interested in?

Ask a lot of questions because we have a lot of folks who love answering questions.

Best wishes for a great land purchase.

That sounds exciting!  So much to do.

I do agree with Anne about staying connected though.  Several years ago I joined while looking for some specific information about planting comfrey.  I ended up staying for the wealth of information here on this site and given that you are starting homestead, I would think that you would run into more numerous questions than I did.

But at any rate, again, welcome to Permies and please keep us updated at least for the time that you are still connected.
