Personally, from a survival aspect, I find every state East of the Mississippi to be too populated. Single digit population/sq. mi. is optimal, under 20 is tolerable, over 30 gets really iffy. See also: location of military bases and nuclear power plants (know prevailing wind directions relative to property location), major dams/reservoirs, traditional recreational tourist spots. Each state also has a minimum acreage requirement for free (Conservation based) resident-owner hunting permits.

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts on Pennsylvania

HEY CURTIS, i just heard you mention on CROW777 that you can trim nut trees/berry trees to whatever height is practical to you , spefically mentioned along with a 120 ft saskatoon tree. my parents have a short driveway near pa sask with many saskatoon trees that are 10-12 ish ft high and thus unpickable by my parents or lil nieces. SO i just chopped them down to 7-8 ish ft high with those big hedge scissors/clippers and the next year they grew absolutely nothing!? i think all the growth was sent into regrowing their height and nothing for berries did i do it wrong or what?

One idea I had was to have the entire array on a set of screws with step motors, a light sensor integrated into the circuit would optimise light collection and angle towards it. The base would be on a turntable which can rotate from sunrise to sunset, returns to the previous days settings at sunset. The problem in my area is high winds and the array would take flight.

Its interesting how ive come to the same conclusion or deduction of perfect homestead properties as you but your tool is far greater, i have to use 3 different apps if i want more view into landscape, topography, comparative sea levels, etc. Nice video

I do think southeast Ohio has big potential. The rural parts off of Athens

Ohio is packed. Tons of taxes and lack of freedom. I’m trying to get out. Seems more unsafe by the year

Michigan

How do you find out what isn't Crown Land? Or Is Crown Land?

Most of what you circled at first... are farm fields and agriculture. You would not believe the deals and dealing on food we get in this area vs everywhere else, quality and quantity. Also about the circled area, its flat, easier to build on and work, up north near Bowling Green is the Old Black Swamp, literally some of the best soil in North America for farming. Certain areas also have much better water than others, same with hospital care, same with shopping, internet, jobs in general.

Those square blocks of green land are 1 square mile or 640 acres

So you are sitting up there in Canada helping real estate vultures steal our land? You live in a Chinese Communist Country and you are NOT anyone who has any right to interfere in American society.

Weird, I live in Ohio, and I just subscribed to this channel a few days ago. I'm from the northeastern part of the state, and I definitely wouldn't recommend prepping here. There's definitely not enough space. Youngstown is just one of many trashy cities. I know there is a lot of good land in Ohio, but it's not what I live around.

Pennsylvania?

There are a few pockets of AMAZING places in NE Ohio, places like Middlefield, Orwell, Garrettsville, at least in terms of farm land, Amish, and like minded population. Besides that NE Ohio pretty much sucks for living.

I live in Northeast Ohio and I am trying to get out of here and get to Missouri, this area is not great, the big cities by me (Youngstown, Akron, Cleveland) are shitholes and I just don't meet a lot of like minded people around

Any land not above 5,000 is going to be in serious trouble in about 15 years

Please do Minnesota next!

Missouri and Oklahoma next please 🙏

Are you forgetting about what happened in East Palestine, Ohio? Don't go anywhere near there.

Texas next, please!

These are great ideas for videos 😮

I thank you for reviewing each state !

Do Missouri and Oklahoma, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

Привет, Америка!

Do Tennessee and Alabama! 🙏🏽

Commenting because I have come back to this video several times. Such truth! Thanks.

Fun. Found “off grid with Curtis Stone” through Crrow777. Love Amandha Vollmer and Five Times August!

Heck yea. I feel the same way about the food forests. I can’t help but love straight lines. Linear food forests are definitely the way to go like you’ve done. Way more manageable

Checkout the Cleburne county area. My home, where I have my little homestead. 1.5 acres and all the gardening, with NO RESTRICTIONS.

Very informative, excellent job!

I am truly grateful that he’s being actually honest and transparent 🥹🥹🥹🥹 this is too refreshing 🥹🤍 wish him all the best 🤍🤍🤍

Just checked prices . Harris has lowest price includes shipping . Dubois higher in Canada but free shipping . Johnny selected lower than Dubois but charging shipping . None come with rollers ! Jonney had assortment starter pack others individual roller , some very expensive !

Nice ❤

Doesn’t that make you a co-creator in partnership with Source?

I’m loved meeting you this past weekend in Vandalia and love the way you think. May need to pick your brain at some point about properties.

WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A VIDEO OR DOING AN INTERVIEW, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DETAILS AND INFORMATION. THE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO EXTRACT USABLE INFO. THINK ABOUT IT AT LEAST NEXT TIME

Looks like Mena Arkansas should be ok! I’m near the national forest land too. I’m stoked. Moving in a month if everything goes good with the sale. 10 acres, mostly wooded. I can clear some more if I want

Great series concept... When you started with WA, I figured you'd work your way from west to east, but I see your next video didn't follow that trend... Hoping you cover California soon!

“You get the most of sunflower” idk why that was so funny to me

AVOID THIS STATE.

If you want to keep this kind of lifestyle you have got always vote in your LOCAL ELECTIONS... Don't let someone else choose your Sheriff, Prosecutor, Judges, County Supervisors, Town Council Members, Mayor, Planning/Land Use Commission Members Water Board Members, School Board Members and other LOCAL OFFICIALS for you. Only vote for good freedom loving American Patriots who share your values and see value in the small farm lifestyle. Collaborate with your family, friends, and neighbors and VOTE AS A BLOCK in order to strengthen your voting influence.

Ok I live in one of your "no zones" but not in the Mississippi valley area and I think people should talk to someone who lives in Arkansas before saying yes or no about an area.

For some reason YT is no longer notifying me of your vids and livestreams. I haven't seen anything from you in a couple months! I wonder whether other of your subs are having the same issue.

FYI, honey locust and alder do root-run.

Bro can you link me to that hat 🔥?

Thank you. This is the best video I've seen very direct.👍

How long to wait before watering?

Thank you for this video brother! @ 5:15 you mention our area. Gorgeous. Rugged. But there are a lot of bugs.. however the people here are awesome ❤️‍🔥 even the Sasquatch are not aggressive 😉

Why are you hand watering..
