base camp, first step.
establish the amount of land needed to support a base camp large enough for a dozen folks. say six camp sites arranged in a semi circle with the access road or path stemming out from the middle.an area for personal hygene and latrine. a wood lot near-by to maintain fire wood supply. a near-by hill top for windmill power, a running creek as water source and hydro turbine power, clear hill top area for solar panels, ..
of course youd want to survey the area first for flood planes, animal trails, location of minerals and best farming soil, direction of rising sun and stting sun.

so the first year i was thinking of setting up with a camper and holiday trailer loaded with tools and materials. and build the first stages of a base camp. fire pits and walkways, lean to's and car ports for parking. get the roughed out version on the go. by the time the following year hits we'd have a better idea of what is needed. in the mean time a library would be available for all kinds of research. any interested folks would have to discuss location...i have this friend, when we work together we work like 6 guys...strange but true, two heads are better than on. so with base camp established other locations come in order of input. time to build your homestead comes along everyone helps out, either building or support. mind you i estimate time to full time living three years. at the very least a camp site and out buildings are in place for camping and get togethers always...

as an area im looking at the columbia mountain range to the rocky mountains. by McBride B.C. and up towards the rocky mountains into the bush. rugged terrain and if a nice plateau is found, with protection on three sides, at the right altitude, with the right exposure and wind current. other sites and locations will grow from seeds we plant today.

i often flash back to my younger years and wish i could give the same experiance to my kids, and futer family to come. and at the same time i consider their security in knowing the education of living off the land will be a resource for them to fall back on. yet the question remains...did i do everything i could to prepare my family?

so hear is my start, im calling it free range canadians. everyone should have a home and knoledge to live off the land, with a network of support to maintain a standard. this is my call to all persons interested...no dues, no fee's, just ideas, info, sugestions, and maybe more than a camping trip a time or two. see what happens. today a couple of us, but tomorow could be more...like minded folks and common interests...diversity is a strength.
