I would move there in a heartbeat.. But then again, I'm in my 50s, my kids are grown. And the more I'm around people, the more I'm getting tired of them. I know I can still produce and would rather have 10 more years with real liberty than 30 years of what we have today..

I would go as would most of my immediate family. However, I have some concerns regarding security. In a world dominated by collectivist regimes the gulch would be a target if its existence were to be known and a secret of that magnitude is difficult to maintain. Objectivists are known for thinking things through and some form of defense would be necessary to protect the gulch. Would this be some form of voluntary military or would the citizens rely on technology for protection? One of the few things that government does well is provide for the common defense. Would the gulch have the equivalent of a defense department? And if so, how would it be funded?

there is a real gulch, it is called a boat on the ocean. and if you can afford a large enough boat you can have your family. so long as it is a sail boat no fuel is needed and no government will bother with you.

Welcome to Atlantis, Joy!

There are a lot of Dagny Taggarts out there still propping up our government, so I agree it will probably outlast me before it collapses. An Island somewhere of no real interest to the US, China, or Russia might work if it had at least some minimal resources

When I build a physical Gulch, you will be invited.

I would go, but not just because there would be no government intervention, but more because I would be living among like-minded people who value the individual and have a strong code of ethics.

I expect a very long wait for governmental collapse. That is one of the reasons that an island is preferable.

I would think one would have to be invited first, if there were a real gulch.

I would go.

My wife and I have been looking into relocating outside the country. Our motivation is current lawmaking. At this point, we are in research mode. We want to live in a place that won't force medical treatments on children (as California is close to doing). If there's a warm sandy beach included - I'm game.

Oh Yes, I would move my family there in a heartbeat.

The biggest challenge in my opinion would be to protect it if it were visible and successful and the socialist world around it was crumbling. Just the existence of wealth would attract the moochers to take it. I have been watching Venezuela closely to see how a society really crumbles and how the government there reacts. They just take whatever they can to keep their regime going another day. The Gulch would have to be really secret in order to wait out the complete collapse of the government.

Assuming the local language is English and the climate acceptable, I'd go as quickly as I could turn my frns to gold.

In a heartbeat!

When a tsunami arrives first the water recedes, some head to the beach to collect stranded fish. Those with a brain RUN for the hills. The Gulch is the only option and you are the only hope you short sighted families and friends have. Be persuasive or perish.

I took that approach with my lab equipment for Florida Tech's Nanotechnology Minor Program. (See the Marketplace). They most certainly came.

I would go in a heartbeat, no question about it. The overlords are getting worse and I am tired of all the BS they are trying. Now they want to regulate my grilling, what will they think of next to rule over us?

A lot of the planning has already been done both in and out of the Producers Lounge.

is the "open" version.
There is also work going on offline.

I would love to live there!

I've considered moving to Alaska, North or South Western Montana, or even New Zealand. Having a spouse put the clamps on those ideas, or I'd already be gone.

Let me know when and where, and hopefully I'll still be around to enjoy. I don't need a job anymore, but I'd be willing to donate my time and expertise to anything I am capable of doing anymore.....

I have been living as close as possible on my Homestead in New Hampshire. NH is the "Live Free or Die" state. Live out side of a small town in the Lakes Region on a self-reliant property with plenty of seclusion. No one asking or looking to take what I make.

I would go. Could I bring the two Cjs and my German Shepherd?

If you build it, they will come.
