Not sure.
I'm still researching.
Found out I will be leaving next month too, so that is good for some small crop fields and livestock.

Dephect said: What kind of cabins you looking at?
Being someone who has lived most of his life in the suburban and city areas, I am highly drawn to the country as well.
A standard fur trapper cabin, but with wood stoves.
I am going to splice "two cabins" together with scarf joints and make it larger. I would like a large loft as well.
The video is of a guy doing this very thing without any power tools -- although I will be using chainsaws. A five min time lapse of his build.

Those cabin plans look fun to build. I have a bunch of tiny house floor plans that I eventually want to incorporate into a shipping container or into a small cabin of our own. Right now the lady and I are building equity on a pretty expensive house, and one day we are going to either rent it our or sell it all together and move to the country and live the same dream.

Given the New York market for lamb and kid I suspect XUL aims to be in that sector, and the 35"(?) snowpack brings up the winter housing the flock as a first necessity.

Called in for the purchase.
My taxes per year are 130 dollars for lots of acreage.
When the seller told me that, I couldn't believe it. That's fucking insanely cheap.
I expect to flourish in this state

Did you check to make sure your not in a bad Flood zone? That's my only worry.

Yes, I did!
Thanks though.
That was my first concern. Flooding.
Then zoning.
It's all unrestricted with the nearest power lines 2 miles away.

You can simply use Zillow. That was the best for me.
But you may want to check many different listings.

I guess the satellite tv providers give you the most economical internet access out in the boonies. I see Hughes net is now providing telephone service also.

I haven't left yet.
I'm just doing phones and a Genny.
Hughes net is shit. You need some real money if you expect to use any data. They own monopolies on that shit and don't sell it cheap.

5 cords of wood is like 15 pickup loads which equals about 1 day a week between the last frost in the spring and the first frost in autumn.
One thing's for certain if you do manage to fill propane tanks with natural gas by the method outlined, and run your vehicle on it, the odor wont be of french fries as you travel.

Sounds like a fun adventure.
I would recommend a rain catcher. Easy way to collect fresh water. Maybe build a small greenhouse for specific plants that need it.

Yes.
Hot water siphoning only requires a tub of water and a fire. Here, watch.
Ultimately, one would want to further the method with a wood stove.
