Well it seems like it’s inevitable now, I will be fired from my job and excluded from society in the very short term. With this revelation I figured I should start making plans for the next stage of my life.
I have a family with young children (all under 10) and am the breadwinner of the household so being fired will have a very negative effect on our financial security. My career and experience is fairly specific to one industry so my hopes of replacing my income with something similar is very very slim.
As a Canadian there isn’t anywhere to move to that would be any less insane, so would it be worth it to liquidate everything, buy an RV or Truck & trailer and hit the vagabond lifestyle, homeschooling the children and living off my accumulated retirement funds and cash from the liquidation?
The ideal plan would be to cross the border and head south for 6 months, then return and stay at various family’s for the other 6. I would pick up random jobs when back in Canada to try and find the 6 months down south.
I’m really not wanting this to be our life as things are really comfortable, but it’s the only thing I can think of where we can live without accepting the “vaccine” into our lives. I do not consent and I will not compromise because if I do this, they have me forever. I want to be a strong influence on my children and show them that you always have a choice, and sometimes the right choice is the hardest but we are in control of what goes into our bodies not the government.
Let me know what you guys think, am I insane and taking this way to far or is this feasible?
The issue you're going to have with doing the RV thing is that it's going to be very difficult to be self-sufficient when you're intending to be able to pick up and leave at a moment's notice. So you will still be dependent on Society for things like fuel and food. Maybe even more so because it's going to be much more difficult to have a large supply of food on-hand living in an RV. And that's beside the simple fact that RVs aren't really designed to be lived in long-term, both in terms of comfort and construction quality.
If you were planning on picking some secluded spot and growing crops during the summer months it's not clear to me that an RV would be an advantage beyond building a primitive cabin (or even a single-wide trailer) as a semi-permanent place to live. The shipping container thing is a bit overdone in my opinion, but if you did something where you furnished the inside of one and plopped it in a field somewhere, and when it was all closed up it didn't look like anything but a regular shipping container, I doubt it would attract much attention. Certainly much less attention than a little cabin.
A lot of this makes sense. I would like to see some discussions on the nomad lifestyle though, since I think it could work for some people.
Nomad as in rootless, right?
I strongly considered a form of it in the past. I forget the exact job title, but it was being one of the guys that helps open new restaurants for a corporate chain. Big overtime hours because you're training retards that can't work, while at the same time managers suck your dick because they're told you're the best no matter how bad you fuck up. Seemed like the expected travel rate was to only stay in a city for 2-6 weeks at a time. I'm sure there's other jobs like it. Major downside being that you don't really get to choose where you're sent to next.
The more comfortable type of this is probably working some non-job like a highly paid consultant that preys upon the weakness and ignorance of ceos.
If we had a high-trust society, you could just wander around and work odd jobs anywhere you pleased.
Those are some interesting suggestions.
One of my flights of fancy imagines highly-mobile nomads delivering goods between and providing services to isolated homesteading communities.
I'd go for that, I advocate for a reduction of societal scale (I view cities as abominations). In my vision of a perfect world, there'd be lots of homesteading. Seeing a return of travelling merchants would be neat, though it comes with snake oil salesmen. Travelling services like doctors would be pretty interesting, though I imagine the highest-skilled service nomads would desire a stable home - unless they're just really into the nomad lifestyle.
Being a homesteader means being skilled enough to make everything work, but that generally means you won't master any particular skill. So one might need outside aide to do a complex upgrade of some kind.
Also, there's the obvious solution of working online. But I find it hard to suggest that seriously, for some reason.
