Not if you have minimul survaval gear and training. You could drop me anywhere in a 50 mile radious and i would be home in under 24 hours. Assuming i had a bic lighter i would have plenty of water even if i gotta boil it in beer cans from the ditch. 9/10 times the property has a barbed wire fence that borders it. Follow that. Most ranchers check cows daily.

Worst case scenario there is a tower of some sort or power line 5 miles in any direction. Bust in and turn it off or fell a power pole and run. About an hour after they start repairs walk down and tell them your car broke down amd you need a ride.

Most of america can be traveresed enough to find help in 3 days on foot. You pretty much have to live in alaska or the desert or try to die in the elements anywhere else

True. 99% of the time if a realtor has it then it is too high or fucked up. Most generally all of your friends and family know you are selling and will apread the word just to helo out thier friends and family

Realtor websites in your area. Maybe find someone house shopping and buy 10 acres as they vuy a house and some land

Driveway will be aids but u want the house as far from the road as fucking possible. Ideally the vack of your house facing it on the other end.

When trees start producing start worm farm.

Hell anon. Start worm farm now and when it starts getting full shovel some out and rplace the dirt. Worm casings (shit and dead worms) are fantastic for make shitty ground into top soil. My front yard was 3 inches at first mow. The back was over knee high full of earthworms

About 2k an acre here in bumblefuck Oklahoma. Most always its worth it tho. Turn around and lease to cowboys for the property tac and most of the payment.

Cause cheap. All of those redneck bonfires and shit you see on the internet. This is where it happens and why the cops dont show up when you chuck pop bottles of gas in the fire, burn tires, or just fuckibg shoot at it.

The man hours it would take. Shit is decieving anon. It would take a swarm of trucks and 4 backhoes 3 months.

Insurance is too high. My bro owns land with mud tuns. Not just talking.

As a former window salesman F for pocket. Both in cost and shitty insulation. All those windows will tripple your fucking bill

Nah anon. A cordless drill, paddle bit, and drip. I pipe a 5 gallon bucket of deisle onto a makeshift tomato cage thing with a needle valve. Fill hole with gas, light, turn on deisle drip for a few days. Takes about 4 days and half a gallon for most. Easy af tho and you could run a tin of 1 gallons

I lived in a rock house. Piss fucking poor. Like living in a tin shack. You gotta insulate the fuck out of shit man

>>1388999
Ahaha! Wtf really?

Do 3" tire tracks for a while until it packs. Will be wavy and shit but it's okay. Stary throwing full width 1 1/2" base rock down and once that packs have them dumo a full load off to the side so you can use a trCtor twics a year and fill chug holes

>>1388938
>agressive deforestation.

>>1388930
LOL. Anon you read my mind

Just pack the road good and crown the middle so it washes to the sides.

Also, you will probably want 1 1/2" road rock/base or whatever they call it. Its what most dirt roads around here are made of.

People always say they dont want to buy "dirt" and wast money on clean rock. You need a good base. And thise rock fines help shit pack like concrete. There is no dirt. Just rock.

Alternatively if you are bumbling in and out with a loaded pickup you can have a 10 wheeler dump truck come in and put his spreader bar on. Saves you money short term. You cant really blade it without throwing more shit over it latter, but only laying 2 tire tracks with 3" clean (not washed, clean) will save you some money and keep you from getting stuck.

Be carful anon. Rock is expensive. Any driveway over about 1/8 mile it will be wirth spending 8k on a shitty old dump truck and do it yourself. Then sell the truck.
