When do we get some fresh kicks and an icy drink?

Not really, no. The idea of living in a small community makes me feel nauseous and panicky, and the more remote the commune the more intense the aversion.

But I wouldn't mind some sort of arrangement between some others who also like the idea of being off-grid but who loathe the idea of being in a small community, where we'd be off in the wilds with a LOT of space between us, but still come together occasionally to help each other out with various things, or be available be radio or whatever.

Similarly, the idea of being part of a nomadic group seems quite appealing to me, especially if more people join along the way and others dip in and out.

Don't drink the Kool-Aide

I'm honestly so close to going home and living on a kibutz

I feel pretty happy in a city where I feel welcome and the neighborhood is fun. I got my family and friends around, and my bf only lives a short drive away :)

Nature isn't too far away either.

From Biblical Babylon to modern scientology The problem with cults, at least according to me / Is that it’s so hard to see the purpose, meaning or point in them / And they’re never any fun, but still, people keep joining them

No I like not to have to worry about food every day and potentially die if I have some medical issue.

If I were younger I'd be looking at Mexico. Elevation and arable land can be found. Aboriginals would have survived if not for guns. And I think it will be a long time before the US ruins them like they do all over the world. I believe you can pretty much survive with 1acre per person in the commune. At least according to Fukuoka Masanobu.

Yeah I have thought about it, here's a decent list. Mind you there are many more.
