BM,

You may have already done this, but you REALLY should check out the raw land for sale on Ebay....I know, that sounds like a strange place to purchase raw land, but on Ebay you'll find people that will not only sell you the land incredibly cheap, but FINANCE it as well. So you're not dealing with banks and credit there. Sure the interest is a little high, but then again, you can pay these things off early. It's ALWAYS better dealing with a private individual rather than a loan shark bank...You can have the worst credit imaginable and they'll still sell to you without any sort of credit check..

Now, to alot of people, this land is going to seem undesirable, that's why it's so cheap...but it's undesirable only because it's remote and unimproved, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! What is undesirable to most of the population is perfectly desirable by YOU......

What you are doing is the smartest thing you could be doing....It's what I'm personally doing at the moment, in building an off grid home with the capability of growing my own food...on land that has it's own water supply. This has been a dream of mine for a very long time, so I would probably be doing it anyway, but I think it's ESPECIALLY important at this time because I do believe there is a very real chance of us facing a depression like we've never experienced before in history...Just look at the evidence now...The dollar keeps falling like a rock. Gas prices keep rising. These two things alone are enough to cause a major depression...and there's already no end in sight. There are so many people who think that these high gas prices are just a fluke....I say that this is only the beginning...

By summer we could be seeing gas prices go to 5, 6, even 8 dollars a gallon. What's that going to do to the entire distribution industry? What's that going to do to the cost of food? Can you see how this can lead to very REAL food shortages here in America, the land of plenty?....This is all by design. When you see the dollar falling like it is, which causes runaway inflation and gas prices to go into low Earth orbit, you have to understand that there are people intentionally causing this situation, very evil people who have us by the short and curlies. They are intentionally attempting to cause another Great depression, I do believe, and if this current trend continues, they will succeed in short order...

Now.....

Let's throw in some other elements here. Let's say Bush goes to war with Iran in the fall....What's that going to do to your oil prices then, which are already at 200 bucks a barrel by that time?...Getting the picture?

So BM, you are doing EXACTLY the right thing at EXACTLY the right time...I just hope you get some raw land sooner rather than later. This stuff could all hit the fan very quickly....There are three imminent threats to everyone here.....and those threats are in the form of shortages in:

FOOD....

WATER....

FUEL.....

I don't care what kind of vehicle you are traveling around in. If they succeed in pushing gas prices to 6 or even 8 bucks a gallon, they are going to put a severe crimp in our ability as US citizens to travel around this country....So get that land, a place where you want to stay put as SOON as possible....

Now water becomes an issue...It's the other major form of control...I have several portable water filters for that reason. I can safely drink out of a stream or lake if I need to, even though it may have parasites and other contaminates in it....So a water filtration system is one of the best investments you can make, while making this transition....

Food....Well, my family laughs when I tell them about the possible coming food shortages....It's so outside our experience as Americans that most of us find it inconceivable. This can't happen in America, right? Well, if they shut down our trucking and transportation systems with 8 or 9 dollar per gallon Diesel, you could see your supermarkets empty over night....For that reason, whether family has scoffed at me or not, I've bought them all a year's supply of storable food...It takes up alot of space...BUT, for what you get, it's a relatively cheap investment....It'll store for over 10 years in a controlled environment. At least this way, while you're making this transition to land where you can grow your own food, you can at least keep from starving with the freeze dried stuff in the meantime...

Now I hope you won't take these suggestions as arrogant, because this is ALL stuff I've done, or am doing myself. My fears are very well founded. You can see the scenario I talk about occurring now in real time. It's happening....We've all got to prepare for this possible eventuality in the very near future....
