I have often thought about moving out of the United states. Heres why i havent. I am sucking at learning spanish. So moving somewhere that i dont speak the native language has stopped me i guess.
Really I think i just want to buy 15 acres in oregon put up a yurt raise some pigs and a orchard and live off the land. Find something on a river. Hydroelectric power. Off the grid, clean and free. Raise pigs off the orchard. 100% organic orchard fed pork. Sell the shit out that. 13 acres of orchard for the pigs. 1 acre of garden, chickens, and the yurt. Sold.

Good luck getting approval for your 'free' hydro power.

You need money for your land and how are you going to wait the ten years it takes for apple trees to start producing? You could buy someone else's farm, but it still takes cash flow.

English is the world's most widely spoken language. Admit it. You're afraid of the food... lol

First, not all apple trees take 10 years to start producing.
What would i need approval for. You can buy a hydro generator for around 3 grand. As for cash flow, total needed for land and yurt will be around 75k. Cheaper then most modern houses. Also my job allows me to work from home. I will need a good satellite internet service. But dont think its not out of the realm. Ive been a member of a homesteading forum for awhile. Theres a large trade community out there. Cannabis and organic pork. But it is my 10 year plan. I almost have enough saved up to buy land. Once land is bought i plan on going out and plant in the orchard.

There are some very serious laws regarding the use of streams for hydropower in most parts of the country. I'm just suggesting you look into the local regulations. Otherwise, it sounds like you're well on your way!

OHHH yeah your right. Blocking of streams and such can cause serious legal issues for you. The generator im talking of uses 4inch pvc pipe in the river then dumps the water back into the river after its been through the generator. But yeah blocking streams and rivers, the wildlife conservation will come after you. Lucky for me the area im looking at is on the Kalmath river i believe, and its a good sized river, over 100 ft across. Ill ask about it on my homestead forum.

I am, I dreamed this all up 2 years ago. Been putting a third of all my money into saving for it. Ill be 40 when i hit the 10 year mark. At that point i want to retire to my land and finish raising kids.

It's pickle-juice martini time! That drink has been off my radar for a while. Glad I saw your post on DB's thread. Cheers!

In the budget gin department, I'm partial to Gilbey's. Once, I put in the blue Sapphire bottle... and nobody ever figured it out.

Works just as well. The only part that sucks is having to buy that first bottle of Grey Goose, lol
