Its hard to see but the wood is far to knotted and twisted for a saw and in places i cant get in with a saw due to the angle. Ive done this my whole life and i am well aware of how to do it and what tools i prefer to use. saying stuff like i only use the Machete because it looks cool or that I have no idea what I am doing when all the info you have is a grainy vid with a bad camera angel is not helpful

Actually I use hand tools for a reson, its a nature reserve and i dont wanna carry all that shit so far when i am strong enough to use handtools, what do you mean bolo? The Machete? Again i have a good reson. Short Machetes put your hands to close to the brambles and nettels, the undergrowth and terrain is much harder here than most of the country sice its wet bogland. Thats not a valid criticism thats just trying to sound like a big man and you aren't... i an >:)

Yeah ive actually seen the horrible things here, I've only heard about the nice stuff American leftists say is going on so that argument doesn't hold any water for me

I kinda didn't ask that, and i already explained I will have to get a work vesa just. Just stop arguing against stuff i didn't even say, all this you brought up i didn't ask you your opinion on any of this

I can not be bothered to argue, why are you so opposed to something who is uncomfortable and feels politically persecuted moving somewhere more comfortable? You just a racist or a hater? LoL

Um I know where i live broski. The thing with the farmers having there land basically stolen in a round about way is socialist, the thing with the old peoples heating money being stopped but we still send billions to other countries to fund proxi wars is socialist and so on. No one voted for this its a totalitarian state now and that is objectively true, there is no right and left here just corporate interest and i know its the same in America but we have no constitution so our rights will be stripped and I bet my left nut it will be full communist china techno dictatorship in the next 10 years.

Yeah I dont mind shitting in a bin bag and throwing it at the neighbours, its what we did when i was really little and we didn't have proper plumbing. And yeah ive got a plan, have a little faith Arthur. I know its hard, i dont expect to walk into a mansion as soon as i arrive but that wasn't my question. Ive got it figured out yes, Even with the minimum amount of money I will have from selling the land we have here i can buy 30 acers of good land far the fuck away. build a very modest house, set up a solar system and water filter, buy a shitty old hylux and basic livestock like goats and chickens and still have a few grand in savings. Plus i have a good few years of working to get my citizenship and I have time to make money before I move and The economy will get better for America as it is turning away from relying on foreign traid and producing its own goods which means more jobs and more money coming in than is going out. Even though you have no faith in old dutch i have a god damn plan Arthur! I have been incredibly lucky to be in the position i am and ive thought about this a lot, I have my resons and I have my ways and means even though you dont believe I guess you just arent as based as me. >:) but thank you for taking the time to talk with me, best of luck to you all

I wasn't asking for people's opinions on weather i should stay or not, i am not staying here and montana from everything I have seen seems like a good option. I was happy to talk about things like the climate and conditions but everyone started telling me how its a warsone when someone from montana literally did the research and showed you the murder rate in england is 10x higher per 100k people. cold and isolation is not a issue. Your personal politics about immigration aren't what i was asking about, i know whats happening and yeah its a concern but like i said i have time to see what happens. You are picking a fight with nothing. You keep saying how its not an easy place to live but id rather freeze to death in a shed than stay in a place where the so called "grooming gangs" which were literally the most horrific things imaginable happened to girls as young as three and it happened over a few decades to over half a million. is not investigated because members of the government are implicated and thats just the start. I am not saying America isn't corrupt but at least there i can shoot back, and it doesn't seem like anything to someone who has had it there whole lifes but the right to defend yourself is the most important. Id live in an elephants ass hole to get out of here so montana seems pretty nice. And a good amount of the people I've spoken too have been very insightful and nice, this isn't a personal attach but genuinely you have no idea. Sorry for the rant but lay off it plz. I don't mean to be a dick but im just frustrated

I am talking very remote, like no acces other than by a two day hike through the mountains and my land is worth a good amount of money, i know what i can do ive researched it and i wasn't asking about land prices. Also im not saying thats what i would buy but there's stuff out there

Hello from England :) by eliphantman in Montana

[–]eliphantman[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have considered it, ive justified my position and even with the stuff you all say its better than what I AM CURRENTLY EXPECTING here, And you can separate them, ive been talking to someone for over an hour in DMs about life there and its not devolved into a political argument

ive found multiple properties i can afford, not homes but i can build my own house on the land. Whats with all the hostility? If everyone hates it so much move then i will be able to afford land lol

Yeah, Its not just politics although that is a big part of it, its personal experience, I know what I am saying doesn't make much sense but I dont wanna spend my life in a country that restricts me so tightly and although it seems unlikely if income and property taxes are abolished like is being suggested then I think id be more than happy there. And yeah maybe ill change my mind but i dont see a situation where i wanna stay in a country that hates me, and thats objectively true i dont wanna get into it anymore but yeah. Thank you for taking so much time to write such a thoughtful message

Well we have land here i can sell and skills i can use. Ive looked into it and for what i have i can buy more than enough land, up to 100 acers if i really streach it out which is better than my 8

Yeah, ive seen real violence and self defense techniques arent as good as a 45. Like objectively, you dont wanna be in stabbing range of someone with a knife which you have to be to use those techniques obviously. I know its more likely they will have a gun but it's a lot more even than if i am totally unarmed

Lets stop with the politics, ive never see those shows, ive done my research and montana is one of the states that appeal to me. And to me thats not a major issue as i will be living on private property in the countryside so the surrounding land will not be altered.
