Quest for Land - my advice for permies and homesteaders

Thanks for the insight into your experiences! What's the author of the Mortgage Free book? And where are your podcasts?

Regarding your "re-husp" concept: my inference from your post is that this is essentially setting multiple people up with their own plots so they can experiment with different variations of permaculture techniques, and compare/contrast/debate on which techniques work best and which don't. Is there anything more to it? Or is that basically the point of listening to the podcasts to understand the idea?

I assume each 1-2 acre plot would entail each person figuring out some sort of living arrangement unique to that plot (tiny home, van, yurt, etc., etc.,) is that correct?

Have you heard of Geoship? I'm not sure that it's ever going to actually be a real thing (still a startup idea basically), but it might be something that would fit your property goals. Especially because you can invest in their seed round and if it does actually become a reality, the domes basically maybe pay for themselves (through the investment). I'm not an expert investor or anything though so not financial advice lol. I just threw a little money at it on a gut feeling basically. They have a Wefunder if it sounds interesting to you. They apparently have some people that came from Tesla and other companies working on it so there's at least a few proven operators there.

This page has a lot of info and links to all the stuff currently going on at wheaton labs - best, simple summary of all things wheaton labs

I’ve only read Paul’s original post so far (and am promising myself not to get distracted reading all the comments) and it has got the gears in my brain spinning…

I’m in WA - as in Western Australia (not Washington 😉) and I have a group of long term friends who have been mulling over the idea of Intentional Community for   Fed years.

Apart from being a collective of ADHD/ ASD peeps, only two of us actually have the capacity to put in to buy land at present, however the greater issue is the legal restrictions that apply on land usage here (owning land doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want & there are usually maddening restrictions on multiple permanent dwellings - unless of course you are a ‘developer’ with intentions to split the title etc)

As someone who is loud & proud ‘weird’, and honestly has not found anyone who thinks quite like I do, I totally get why Paul is hesitant about intentional communities…

But as a once very physically capable, but now increasingly less capable (the joys of hypermobility, mild fibromyalgia & middle aged womanhood) the mental needs of setting something up on my own hurts my head, let alone the physical.

That doesn’t mean I’m giving up though!!
I need to get more familiar with this forum & take advantage of the shared knowledge here, and also get more proactive in my local area with other permie groups (challenging for an introvert, but I think it is a necessity not a luxury for my long term dreams)

But thank you…
Now I need to go google ‘re-husk’ 😆
