The closest thing to a real Gultch is probably Simon Black's place in Chile. I love Chile and would go in heartbeat. But, and there is always a but, they really don't have anyplace to live on his ranch and you need to build a place, etc., etc., some where aroundthe area.

Lots of planning required, and in fact may not be possible in today's NSA world. Better I think to hide in plain sight in a virtual gulch, where like minded people trade and socialize with each other without making it a big deal. One could trade with each other using silver coins or some alternative money. The book- Alongside Night deals with this, and its interesting reading.

I would. Even if it meant taking one of those blue-collar jobs, like lineman.

I would go. I am tired of always looking over my shoulder for some government person thats going to take what I earn or put me away for doing some innocent thing that violates one of their rules- like texting on a cell phone while stopped at a traffic light

I wish my wife was up for it. :-(

I want to move to a Gulch in a few years and have started the planning process. PM me if you want in on the Gulch planning process.

Like I was shot out of a gun.
