This name change (thanks to @TheWriteBeat for the name suggestion) reflects a narrowing of scope.
My intention is to keep each step of building this community realistic.
I found that focusing on the entire Parallel Economy was too broad an approach, while my real goal is to found one specific community.
Nothing changes about the philosophy behind the project. But now I can focus on building my little piece of the parallel economy. That's how we create viable alternatives to the current institutions.
I hope you are still excited to join me as I learn what makes a community like this work, and best practices for getting it up and running.

I'm happy to report that less than 18 months after saying I intended to buy a property within two years to pursue this project, I have done so!
The first leg of this journey will begin on 30 acres in Tennessee which is a perfectly suited place for the "Academy" phase of the long term plan for independence.
Most of what's to come will be through Rumble/ Youtube (see comments), so please make sure you are following there! Although I will continue to post updates here.
And content may be a bit spotty... I'm not actually moving to Tennessee... in part because there's no house yet. That will begin this summer.
As you can see from the waterfall picture below, I am especially excited that hydro power will be available.
Make sure you are subscribed to see this vision come to life! And keep an eye out for more information soon...
thank you all for your support!
In Late October, I toured 14 properties all around the state of Tennessee.
The largest was 75 acres... but unfortunately was extremely steep in most parts, and the deal breaker was that you could hear the sound from the road throughout the whole property.
The smallest was 10 acres, and that just doesn't feel large enough for what I am trying to do to build a community.
But I did find a 30 acre property with a nice south facing hill and a stream at the bottom for under $150,000... and I made an offer which was accepted!
More info to come one the sale goes through. And please stay tuned for more videos! It's a busy time, but progress is being made!
Well it certainly seems like it's the perfect time to move into the woods and become self-sufficient.
Luckily I have 13 properties lined up to view in Tennessee next week, all over 10 acres and under $170,000. All between one and two hours to Nasheville International Airport.
9 are in counties which do not require building permits.
Very excited to be making progress on the dream. Stay tuned for more videos showing what the land looks like... and hopefully a big announcement when one is purchased.
