    found out this video, look those shelters!!! and of course the lifestyle, the size of an intentional community does not matter at all.

    This is more about the sane reasoning for why the topic of this thread is the way to go, and quickly.

    Thanks for posting it. I listened yesterday and yes the warning is out long time, she just reinforced it, I think Marjory is good when come to explain things like that, she got a good sense of humor too, not too serious like some other podcasters out there, she is grounded and articulate very well, doing so she is able to reach a great number of people in the process of awakening.

    We know things are crushing down everywhere and if we don't do anything about it, and I mean take care of ourselves and our families/friends, NOBODY will do, so getting a piece of land is the best start, having your own food production, having your own source of water, build your own shelter the way you like, only these basic things will give anyone piece of mind, so why not go for it?

    Most of us will never have a chance to own land and won't be able to defend it even if we could.

    Invisibility is something serious for consideration and planning. Drones can't be instructed to strike what is not in the database.

    Understood that, and I agree with invisibility, this is one step forward after privacy (which is in a coma right now) but most of us will not stand a chance to not be included in their databases, unless we know someone to "help", and as we know there is no free dinner anywhere, I wouldn't count with that. Others say hide in plain sight, blend, etc..

    Thanks for bringing up "Invisibility", would be good to have a simple guide on it, for emergency situation, I don't know if I have anything related here, I heard Mike Adams speaking about it in one of his hundreds podcasts. Also as we know they have the capabilities to wipe out entire areas using DEW or "fabricated natural disasters" like droughts, floods, earthquakes, storms, volcanoes and other fabricated natural hazards, I am sure they could target entire areas and "hasta la vista baby".

    Anyway we have to pay taxes, so we don't really own anything and never will. There is several options to consider though, one would be: to grab public land and become a squatter (go with a simple rooted structure or mobile depending on situation), it is more common than we can imagine, I know people who did, who are doing and who are the process of doing soon. I know a few homeless people living in this situation, I confess I learned a lot from them.

    These large public plots are labeled by authorities normally as national parks, sanctuary of wild life and so forth and so on, the name does not matter, what matters is what it is, some has no surveillance by land at all, I mean not even an official entrance with state workers to check people getting in, I know 2 parks in this situation and both has squatters on it. I saw people living in barracks under the canopies, some are homeless people, others live in the area for decades, they all have mobile or light shelter, the most intriguing one I saw was a full house built out of stones, stunning place.

    Caves are the best option for invisibility, those satellites can't detect thermal energy or heat inside the caves, large rock complexes included too. So as situation advances would be wise to know a few ones around in case of emergency and never share the location with anyone - literally a bug out cave as far as possible from the grid, usually places with no road access.

    The kind of invisibility I have in mind is more like living the life the controllers as satisfied with ( and they know where you are etc ) but to have secret operations going on for food production that they don't know about. Hence the idea I mentioned in the other thread a few days ago.

    No gathering of squatters is going stand a chance. Same goes for community growing plots.

    No, true invisibility is when they don't even think about you. Whatever everybody else is doing, do the opposite, etc.

    The idea in the other thread has it's difficulties, I know, but hard work surviving is going to be the order of the day eventually anyway. The basic idea springs up from the basic paranoia that a weed smoker has when he wants to grow a few cannabis plants but can't just do it his garden. Putting seedlings in the ground while out for a walk seems like the most invisible we can get, to me. Building a camp to live in where the plants are is plain stupid. The place to live is where they want you and leave you be.

    It is perfectly true in a totalitarian world. When that happen, the best place to be is in the wilderness, not in the cities but I do understand that taking chances in the wild is not for everyone.

    "No, true invisibility is when they don't even think about you. Whatever everybody else is doing, do the opposite, etc."
    If the individual is already in their databases they can be tracked for everything that is "mandatory", so if the record of one of these mandatory [objects] is missing in their databases, they know certain individual didn't partook in their offer, if you are inside the grid they can pin point your location and sure will take you for a ride for questioning or worse, but outside the grid premises they will have to search for the individual in the vast land, even with the use of AI, drones, robots, satellites, [name_it], still a long shot to locate the so called dissidents, another interesting thing to take seriously into consideration is the fact that the grid is the most important thing for them to protect, and the people living on it will be under constant surveillance, most of their resources are spent with the grid itself and its premises, not in the vast land. Real life example: database of recorded vaccinated individuals, they also have a database of those who refused it, since everybody is a citizen it is pretty easy to know who agree or who doesn't. Isn't possible to live in a tightly closed system without participating on it, so at some point you are in or you are out.


    I totally agree with your last sentence, there is people doing it right now for different reasons. Yet another solution would be living in the wilderness, one would not even have to worry about planting anything, but knowledge of foraging plants/hunting/fishing/etc would be required in order to survive at the very least (I have to agree it is hard work on a daily basis). Like a nomadic life, this falls into the category of mobile shelter rather than rooted shelter.

    The decisions about going wild in the country will depend, a lot, on how young and strong you are, I suppose. I know I wouldn't last a month out there.

    Meanwhile, for those who are fighting fit and can provide their own beef stakes . . . . .

    Maybe make some of these with the power drills now and store them for later

    Survival Water Collection Methods (Tarp, Rain Catcher and Other Options)





    You can go weeks without food, but your body can only survive about 3 days without water. Before those 3 days are up, you will already be delirious and weak – not exactly the ideal state of being for survival!

    For these reasons, knowing how to obtain water is one of the essential survival skills you need to know.

    I watched a video a good while ago from Dr. Charles Morgan about weaponized science, this video I found on some onion site using Tor network, but it seems to be making rounds again, here is full version of it. It is about the hive mind, and this thing scares the beejesus out of me.


    Source: https://www.bitchute.com/video/uHTXLAiWUDqE


    The "wood stove" in the video is very original, I never seen one like that before.

    So how long until they start forcing people to get microchiped, once it is done there is no way back. The microchip assembling process will start very soon. The persuasion and deceiving is running on steroids and soon at gun point.

    Yes, it is very important topic, the late Avalon member Mr. Ron Mauer was always pointing out how important is water, he wrote quite good posts on Avalon about this topic and his website has information on it:

    http://web.archive.org/web/202101280...g/?page_id=178


    Many people see prepping stuffs as purely entertainment, but when disaster strikes (be it a hurricane season, earthquake, volcano evacuation, tsunami, drought, flood, etc) we see those who can take action and care for themselves, loved ones, and others around, so we need prepared people that knows exactly how to deal with situations like this (forget the authorities, military, etc) and it does not mean each and everyone must be a prepper, because to be a prepper require a very broad range of knowledge and full time dedication, that is where community plays the role putting together people's knowledge, skills, etc.. the current system we live in cities is a one-way communication, people has no voice, it is a slave system. I have no doubt about that and it will get much worse we are in the brink of something extraordinary/spectacular to happen.

    When someone got no life skills, got no friends, no community, the chances of survive reduces to nearly zero because that person is dependent of every aspect the system provide for them in order to survive. When a slave in the system, stop producing nowadays we call it retirement, in the near future we are going to call euthanasia or food production (A la Soylent Green style - feed the people with people), that is how much they care about you, me or us, so it is better to die trying and enjoy in the process the unique adventure we are having in this planet.

    God speed for us all!

    This is why they want acceptance of an ongoing universal "vaccine" platform - precision nano-tec.

    He didn't mention that probably because he wasn't properly aware of what the plan and progress is at the inner core.

    I've chopped a tiny little chunk out of that video at the crucial point where he DIDN'T GO (or maybe he did) but we know now, don't we?

    Just watch this one, another amazing couple living on Hawaii on their own for half a century.



    They are looking for a couple to manage their farm while they will be out teaching people about permaculture. Info in the description.

    Here is an interesting video, that goes into the knowledge of 2 people living in Appalachia, they comment about the "outsiders" buying the best land, best locations with better view and crashing the local folks, because all this behavior is driving the prices to a new high that only wealthy can afford

    I am not from there, I don't even know this place, but I can tell it is the same thing elsewhere, the pattern is very clear. I know locals in my area saying that before they were able to hike up the hills because you know it was free land, so that was part of the culture to hike up the damn hill, but now they fenced the place, it is public land sold to a private (small people can't build there, but the rich can - moral relativism at best), so the buyer will build a large resort and as usual exploit the local folks for odd jobs. This is the modern hell slavery system the rich people are engaging into, they NEVER get enough.

    I hope the tides change, and it will only happen when the locals put them all to run. What I really mean by putting them to run, would be more in line with put the "investors" to run. But governments are parasitic greedy entities, they could care less about the locals.

    Another video from Peak Prosperity (2 days ago), same issue, property tax going up and soon so many can't afford jack **** anymore. We are seeing the whole thing melt down right in front of our eyes and not able to do anything. I am hearing people (actually property owners) saying the same thing in different countries. Some saying to buy gold/silver in order to keep the property in the future (betting gold will follow the same tax trend pattern).

    Where are we going with that?

    and here another one, just to show there is no lack of evidence of what is going on around, the economy is broken in many countries. One may not realize that yet because they still have job, but it will change overnight, already happening everywhere. A friend has a small business, she had to sell first her car to keep business afloat, now she is selling the business itself because can't afford pay the rent. She had 8 or 9 employees in her small cosmetics factory. Property became unaffordable.

    Jon Jandai is becoming quite an influence on me. I will be replicating a few of the things he covers at a new house. His video on water filtration is especially excellent. I aim to be offgrid for water and potentially also for electricity, in a year's time.

    He is pretty good, a true farmer, he helps a lot of people to break free from this insanity of corporations out there. Not many people know about him though, what is best about Jon is his simplicity, anyone understand, he speaks for the whole audience

    Here is another important subject he speaks about: SEEDS.

    The situation can obviously be very frustrating for all those who remain "stuck" in the city. However, I believe that we need to look at things from a different angle.
    1. Depending on the space and light, and if there is a balcony, you can grow crops in windows farms, pots, containers, grow rooms. Aromatic herbs such as parsley are ultra-nutritious and there are wall pocket systems to hang to make green walls.







    2. I think it's good to have stocks of small useful things to barter, which can really help out a neighbor, a friend, someone in the neighborhood... batteries, matches, chocolate, sardines, toothpaste, etc.

    A few years ago, I read testimonies from people who have lived through recent wars like in Serbia or economic crises like in Argentina. There are women who would have given anything to get a tube of lipstick, and the one who had enough to refill the lighters always had a bargaining chip...


    And then, your greatest value is your practical knowledge. If you are a manual worker or handyman, you can exchange service for food or other service.
    Have books that tell you how to fix everything with next to nothing. If possible, develop micro-networks of neighbours or with small shopkeepers/craftsmen in your neighbourhood. Bartering could save the day more than once in case of restrictions and shortages.
    There is always a way to get organized and help someone who will give you a hand in return.

    But don't let anybody else knowing exactly what you have in stock.

    Very nice tips and important warning to not let anyone know about your personal stock.


    Here is yet another option, if one wants to get out of the cities, I came across this video, I almost discarded it due to the lame title, but decided to watch entirely and the tips from this old man is pretty much genuine, I felt like I was back in time when backpacking around the world lol


    46 minutes

    It worth watching, his list of how to get out of the cities without money or with little money is pretty good.
