1989 in the Wilderness of NE Washington Mountains....Mountain Wind Family lived for 5 years in the harshest of conditions yet in all the glory of nature..from the book Coyote; A Guide to Wilderness Living "
AVAILABLE LAND The laws of supply and demand are man made. Murphys Laws are a joke. If you have in mind what you want, then you should have no trouble finding that piece of property. There are legions of magazines that advertise land from brokers, tree farms, private parties and the like.
There is no end to the land available. This is not to say that land will always be available. Perhaps the population will continue to explode and folks will move to the country whether they have a choice or not. Perhaps we will find a way to handle the masses in the city, But for now....land is there. Cheap land. Expensive land. Mail order land. You want it. You'll find it. All it takes its motivation and a spattering of luck. Let me tell you the short/long story of our move to Washington State. In 1967, Cleveland Ohio, we were good friends with the Shuttleworths who had just started Mother Earth News out of a small house in North Madison Ohio. They had a dream. They shared their dream and we bought into the philosophy but we were too young and naive to understand. Many others were not, or felt that they were not. Some got real lucky but the times were so very different. We tried over the period of a few years to find our dream of self sufficient living in the country. We didn't succeed for a variety of reasons, but one was NOT that there was no land for us. So we shelved our dream in a place that even we forgot.
....real estate company in Washington... property at199.50 a month. A few years later on, after moving to the Mendocino Coast in another search for "real life", we re-established the dream of finding self sufficiency. and it took another few years to fall upon it, after being deluded into thinking that the Spirit of the land movement was dead. We tried being semi-yuppies without success, after opening and closing a computer store on the Coast. We bought into a modular home in Woodland California with 1/10 acre of very sun dried ground. At 800 dollars per month mortgage and after months of finding just the right eatery and espresso houses, we gave up in bankruptcy. As quick as a shot in a child's arm we found a real estate company in Washington that was selling remote parcels of property for no money down and 199.50 a month. Being without any other catalyst to take us up the ladder we felt no remorse at leaving the city to try something new! And we have so far succeeded in doing what we set out to do.

How awesome! I find it sad that you have to explain that home schooling is legal; it's amazing how ignorant and bigoted people are against home schoolers. Possibly jealousy? Anyway, AWESOME video - I love the whole thing!
i have an urge to go live a simple cabin living, hunting farming type life , where i can be left alone to my own laws and not have other people forcing theyr bs on me, but i like living in modern convenience in communities, however , there could be a world order meltdown due to a natural disaster, war, plague, aliens//all kinds of crazy things can happen, and next thing you know, im living the simple life
....I also have a 2.5 acre lot near Montello Nv. I paid $2800 total...I was given a 12x20 tool shed...moved it onto a lot in East Texas for $450...converted it to a cabin with wood burning stove...filtered water from a creek...use an outhouse(lime keeps odor and flies away)...I'm debt free and happy!!
.....I could live like a king in the wilderness for $70,000.00! Speaking from experience, 2 major issues to self-reliant living.First you have to be able to live a simple,humble life...something spoiled,wimpy city folks find difficult to do...and second...buy land where it is not so dang expensive and where there isn't a lot of stupid zoning regulations! My first lot was in 1990 in eastern Oklahoma...5 wooded acres for $3000 total! My next lot was in Missouri...2.5 acres for $10,000.
I am 52 and wish i had a father like you that took his children on the adventure of a lifetime! I really admire you and look forward to seeing more of your life and family in more of your video's
My friend you are missing what I was missing for too many years. IT IS NOT ABOUT THE CABIN! It is about the journey. A cabin is not the cookie cutter house from the suburbs. It is an expression of it's builder. It is art. If you wait until everthing is just right you will die in the city a sad old man.
