The key will be to stay highly flexible, mobile and, perhaps most of all, invisible. We will need new tech appropriate to this strategy, and I've been brainstorming some projects in this regard.

There may come a day when living free means living on the move. Hopefully it never comes to that. Some evil schemes tend to collapse under the weight of the schemer's own hubris. Still, better to prepare for Hell than hope for Heaven.

I'll need to pick your brain on those new tech projects. I have something going to post soon on attention economics and network value.

I'm working on a post at the moment that lays out some general design principles/goals. Maybe we can talk after both posts and compare notes.

I have had the same thoughts about being mobile starring in 2018. We did sell the house and most all.of our stuff, down to essentials but even ready to let all that go. Here is the (perceived) challenge now that we have had three years to "prep" I hope you will weigh in on: main challenge to mobility is how to transport all food stores, keep it safe from threats while on the road, access to uncontaminated water (use a giant tower filter now that can't bring with). And when the "experts" all say the same mantra to avoid the coming famines "grow your own food", well,thats out.

So, water sourcing (accepting that all municipal sources are poison), avoiding the 5G arteries (basically means staying in a mountainous region, and what type vehicle to carry all your food, ammo, medicines, cooking gear, foul weather gear, generators, fuel etc.

How far can we get when gas pumps dont work and or you need digital.ID to purchase fuel?

Thanks for help insorting these obstacles out!

If things ever get that bad where water sources are poisoned I wouldn't stay in that country at all. You'll probably see it coming. Back up generator, solar, wind, water maker, food all around, no checkpoints, one year of emergency food stores, go anywhere anytime while getting a tan...

You Tube is full of individuals and organizations of people living full tune in vans.

If you have the i funds, you might gain experience by trying it now, with lots of advice and guidance from people who have done it for years.

Here Hope is known as a prostitute, to be avoided if one wants to stay free of all manners of dis-ease.

Some of us are on the road from now on. Caravanarchy.

perhaps so, thats what the North American Tribes did, but for them it was mostly by choice until Andrew Jackson declared war on them. Now they are doing it to their OWN people.
