I’m thinking… North.

And not low lying near a coast.

Yeah, I (and I’m sure a lot of other people) had thought of that too, but now the whole North is on fire.

Probably hill zones: the land is easier to work than mountains, close to the plains (where there are natural water reserves) but still high enough to have lower temperatures

I’m thinking the foothills of the Canadian Rockies

“Might” or “should”? A lot of land “might” be livable, some different land “should” be livable if you build a fallout shelter and a bio-dome.

Does the cult have a good plan for healthcare? If so, please send me your newsletter, manifesto, religious tract, pentabarf, whatever.

I’d settle for a cult with a good dentist tbh. According to US healthcare eyes and teeth are separate from the rest of your body.

Already planning on it here in Canada once my friends and I have the money for what we want to do.

Farming (+greenhousing) and some cottage rentals on the side.

Peace out, modern society!

Cottage rentals for income?

Currently my plan is to get far enough into my career that I can spend half my time in city making money and half in the woods

Exactly, cottage rentals for income. To supplement farming and other ventures, anyway.

I’m lucky that my work is 99.9% remote, so as long as I can acquire a stable internet connect I can continue to work out there if needed. Existing entirely in the woods is incredibly appealing.

I like that idea. Continuing to make money, no matter if it’s just a few hundred dollars a month, is the main hurdle for me to leave. You’d still need to finance construction but it’s a good long term vision.

I am worried about fire seasons/smoke seasons. At best it shortens the tourist season and at worst I lose everything : /

If you’ve ever heard of WOOFing that’s a great place to start. It’s a work trade program I did years ago, tons of farms around the world. You get room and board, just work the farm for a short term. I traveled across Canada doing that years ago and ended up staying on one for 2 years in the discovery islands off the coast of BC. One of the best times in my life. Now I live in downtown Toronto, wondering why I ever came back ahaha

What about a traveling circus? Bonuses: it’s mobile, it’s a circus by design, it’s inclusive, and goofing around is just part of the culture!

I’ve always said if you don’t want to work for clowns join the circus
