  1. There is a big world out there,a state to state move may mininize some problems but you are still in the same “basket” (just moved your eggs a little),consider another “basket” at least financially if not full multinationalism(second passport) to escape a full breakdown.

  2. We moved to Idaho County in the late November of 2013. We had purchased bare land and brought a camp trailer for our first home intending to start and finish a house the next spring through fall. Our goal was to do the building ourselves, dad was a carpenter and I know the trade. Midway into the summer I took a tumble off a ladder about 10 foot fall. Nothing broke but it was weeks and weeks before I was going strong again. Then as it does life gets in the way with other set backs etc. So that now 5 years in we’re just getting comfortable with the rhythms of the seasons and knowing and understanding the lay and needs of the land. What it can do for us and what we can do for it to provide for us. And I grew up rural, on 265 acre dairy farm, 100×200 garden, helping mom can every kind of fruit and harvest from the garden. 250 ton of hay cut ,raked, baled and put into the barn every year. Expect the unexpected to happen and the learning curve to be steeper than you think. Give yourself as much time as you can, it will make a huge difference. And the payoff has been well worth our efforts and setbacks, which is where we learn the most.

  3. I’m currently in North Idaho looking for property with a creek, but everything here is so darned expensive or far from being able to make an honest living. Having a limited budget and not wanting to finance makes it even more frustrating especially when so many are fleeing Kommiefornia buying up everything and driving up the land prices. My time here is limited and soon I’ll have to go back to an extremely liberal area in western NC . I pray I can find something before I have to leave. I’d settle for a good caretakers position if I could find one but the only national publication the ‘Caretakers Gazette has some poor reviews and I’m wary to subscribe….praying heavily for guidance!

    1. Is it just you or do you have a family also? You really should check out the Bitterroot Valley of MT Brother…If you can’t find work in the Valley which there is plenty of jobs right now you can always commute up to Missoula while you make connections…Let me know if you need any help…

    2. In today’s world unless you are very well off it’s almost impossible not to finance. Granted there can be valid reasons (for example, close to retirement and income will be going down soon). But If you don’t have one of those reasons, I wouldn’t let that stop you. Of course you should still make sure it’s a place you can afford.

    3. Look around Bonners Ferry, land is a little less expensive and more water is available and a good micro climate for growing. Many people do not realize that the inland NW does not have a lot of year round rivers or streams. Also it takes about 5 years to get totally acclimated to a new area if you are from somewhere totally different.

  4. Made the move 2 years ago in November. Best decision I ever made. I really wanted the American redoubt, but finding employment in my field was nigh on impossible. So found a very rural county in Middle tennessee. Rented for 6 months before finding and buying our land. First full summer this year was rough, garden just started with marginal harvest, chickens planned for next year. More important that anything else though, I am surrounded by conservative Christian neighbors in a liberty minded state. If you can make the move, do it. You won’t regret it.

  5. Wished I could make the move out of upstate new yorkistan but too many irons in the fire better to dig in here. 4th generation family farm its hard to leave and with my aging parents they must be looked after to enjoy their retirement years to the fullest. Good luck all hope to join you someday soon

    1. Being as I am formerly from Pa, I know how the city or cities (Philly &Pitts. in Pa) can run a state. That being said why not start a movement to make NYC their own state? I have often wondered why California hasn’t tried the same thing. That would allow the rest of the state then to be as Liberty minded or not as they want. And I know how most of the agricultural areas of a state are much more conservative then the urban areas this just might work. Or at the worst you may have to throw out Albany as well. Hey nothing ventured nothing gained.

  6. We left a commie state when the people were tired of a movie actor for Governor and re-elected the “moonbeam” and have not looked back! found our way to the redoubt and have embraced every minute of it. We each had our skills which we can use here and although the money is not the same, that was not our motivation for coming here it was for the freedom and lifestyle. Now let me be clear it is a lot of work, wish i had made the move earlier in life. Every year brings new challenges esp. with the garden but it’s a great ride.

  7. I read this article on American Partisan. Unfortunately I couldn’t copy and paste it to my laptop from their site to reread later.
    Thanks for posting it here. I think it’s worth saving to my files.

  8. I’m an early 20s guy currently living in the communist state of IL.. want nothing more than to move to a redoubt state but cannot find ANY jobs that pay anything close to a living wage. Aside from waiting till retirement, what are employment options in the mountain states that have worked for anyone else? (I do have a bachelor’s degree as well as 3 years full time work history)

  9. Latah county here.. Bovill, Avon, Princeton, Potlatch, Helmer, Deary, Troy, Kendrick and we cant forget Moscow for the city slickers….( Any of this sound familiar? ) I have to say, Life is great here! JWR sure can pick the places for a great book. but be careful driving, the Whitetail are thick as flies! Many a front bumper has been introduced to the whitetail… Elk season starts Oct 10th. for rifle… Most of us are primed and ready to go… You wont find any towel warmers in these parts, But you will find people with big, sincere, hearts .. Make the move to where ever your heart is calling you.. Your quality of life goes up, even if your big city income goes down… I love the people I know here.. and if the brown stink ever hit the fan, i can’t think of a safer place to be.. we take care of our own..

  10. God opened some doors for us to relocate from a liberal urban area in the SE to a rural area in a more liberty minded state (still in the SE), including leading us to a great property with some already established fruit bushes, trees, and vines. We’re still learning, adapting, and upgrading, but I wish I’d done this years ago.
