Cheers, like-minded people,

I have been going it alone for many years now (with my wife tagging along willingly) and have built a couple of escapes now, one in the Caribbean and one here in NC, just south of Mint Hill. We also recently purchased a couple of acres near Hendersonville that has a nice spring on the property, still running in this drought and coming out of the rocks at a cool 58 degrees.

Almost 15 years ago, I built a home on a small Caribbean island, in a rural part, off the grid using solar and wind power and catching and purifying rain water, which is abundant. This was planned as the escape and potential retirement home. My how things change.

Two years ago, I set up a solar powered workshop and storage area south of Mint Hill and am still working on other infrastructure there. I have started to store food there to help weather shortages.

As things deteriorate here, I realize that the Caribbean will only be useful if we happen to be there when TSHTF. After that, travel will be restricted or impossible.

I also believe that Mint Hill and Hendersonville are too close to urban areas to be safe.

Going it alone is not a good strategy, either, as there is strength in numbers and diversity in skills and talents.

The best strategy, in my opinion, would be to create an intentional community of like-minded people somewhere in a very rural area of the NC mountains. Anywhere up the mountains from west of Brevard, north to the state line. Someplace where there is ample water, sun, natural fuels, soil to grow food, on the grid for now and access to goods and services before TSHTF. Two hours from Charlotte would be nice.

It is so nice to have a forum where these ideas can be discussed and bantered about. And localized enough to have a potential for a group to be formed to do something constructive.

Let us continue to chat and post, get to know one another and welcome new members.

I did not know that the Brevard area was fouled with those types of folks. I wonder how they would respond differently than normal people if TSHTF?
