Quote:So you don't have a police force? Can you defend yourself against a drone attack? Do you collect your own garbage? Your own water supply? Your own gas supply? Get your own internet infrastructure? Omg need other citizens to sustain you...

Just because we teach and strive to be self sufficient doesn't mean we're hermits. Of course we interact with others this website is evidence of that I spend plenty of time interacting with all kinds of people. However In the event of hardship be it personal, local, regional, nationally, or internationally it's important to know how and to have the skills/abity to become self sufficient. You don't want to learn how to grow veggies and fruits or butcher and process meat after the grocery store isn't around.


Yes we harvest rain water, purify our own private well, we compost most of our trash if need be I can burn non compost materials, electricity is my biggest weakness as of right now I'm as dependent as everyone else on the grid.
