Is it too late to move?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Recently on Daisy Luther’s website, she posted an article entitled “The ‘Camping Trip’ Is Ending and the REAL SHTF Is About to Start.”

One of the comments on this piece was from a reader named Joy, who posted the following: “Do you think it’s too late to move at this point? How would you know when it’s too late? We are looking to sell our (paid-for) house and buy land and build a house on it (mostly ourselves, outsourcing some of the work). A house with wood heat, and solar power, and lower cost of living, and a huge garden with chickens. If we do that, we have to rent for a year while we clear the land, and build. Is it too late? That’s the question that haunts me at night when I can’t sleep.”

Don thought it was a viable question and wrote the following response. “Joy” may never see this, but that’s okay. The answer is for everyone to consider.

—————————————————-

Hi Joy: No, it’s not too late to move. But what IS rapidly becoming too late is the time available to make the decision.

You know, if fifty people were to ask the same question you did, perhaps 10 percent would listen to the following advice. Nothing new about that, it’s just human nature. We can find endless examples through history of people who didn’t leave a disintegrating situation when they could.

If you and your spouse are serious about moving, it’s time to stop your sleepless nights and get to work.

You must sell your house now, before the markets in more urban areas crash. You must make that sale even if it means you sell for less than you wanted.

While selling your house, you should begin the process of figuring out where you want to live. Bear in mind that rural land in desirable locations – which used to be cheap – has, at least temporarily, become unavailable.

You might review some of the columns of prepper Pat McLene, whose archive can be found here, especially his later columns. Among other things, he discusses the best place to move that will meet your needs.

Unless you have an incredible skills set, rethink the concept of buying bare land. Where we live, finding a contractor who is not only available, but who can obtain the necessary supplies and materials, is becoming increasingly difficult. Unless you or your spouse happen to be in the construction industry, you’d be far wiser to relocate to a livable fixer-upper. These days, it’s much easier to rehab and modify an existing building than it is to build fresh.

However if that’s impossible and you must settle for a piece of bare land – and rather than renting an off-site place while you wait for the contractor to arrive – you might want to consider buying a good-quality second-hand RV (a four-season model), or even a used single-wide. Given the times that are coming, the closer you are to your home place, the better off you’ll be.

Now doing any of this presupposes that you have some kind of income stream that can follow you, or you have marketable rural skills, or you made sufficient profit from the sale of your own home that you can work full-time on your new place. If this isn’t the case, the road will be harder; but if you have a roof over your head, you can live on peanuts. (And you may very well have to, at first.)

Of course, none of this matters if all you’re going to do is talk and worry. You’re going to have to make a leap of faith to make this work. It can be done, because Patrice and I have done it three times.

There’s a lot of great information on this site and others like it. But look for those websites and blogs where the owners have walked the walk and not simply talked the talk.

The last bit of advice I can give you is to not do any of this because you think the world is coming to an end. Do this because you think it’s the best thing that you can do for you and those you love.

And at the risk of offending some, don’t go alone. Ask God to go with you. He will.

See you on the two-lane road,
Don
