After you get this land, how about instead of having a normal house, you build a self-sustaining house? That way you will be completely independent and it won't matter if the government collapses or whatever. Plus, it's good for the environment. I suggest you look into www.earthship.org.

I think it's great that you want to live off the land, but you might want to make sure your family will come with you before you decide to do something like that. No matter what happens, you are still a husband and father. Those are my thoughts...

Consider a wind generator as well. There are a number of units designed for a single family home. Not too costly, but they will generate enough power to keep your home running. There are some excellent links here:

Good luck in your endeavor.

If your family chooses not to go with you you need to seriously consider your priorities in life.

You seem to revel in using the Bible to make your points.

While remembering Lot's wife please don't lose sight of Mary's husband, Joseph...

Hello,
I applaud you on your decision to change a lifestyle and as a fellow believer in Christ, I'm aware of what is coming but you must remember that your family comes first!! It is your responsibility to maintain the well being of your family. Just put all your trust in God and He'll lead y'all where you need to go. To answer your question, parts of Middle Tn. have great land with awesome views as well..
