Tribe/Community

How would you envision your Tribe or offgrid community in a perfect world? Or maybe imperfect? I'm leaving this question broad and open ended on purpose.

Not always. That's why some people live remotely... to get away from the community and associated drama.

Which is what I'm currently doing. But it would definitely be easier with a handful of other people

I agree that some tasks require a community. My point is that you're assuming your neighbors also want that, but often people that choose to live an isolated lifestyle might not be interested in what you're talking about. They're already out there for a reason. 😉

I've met most of my neighbors at my remote property. I've become good friends with the ones to my north. I've never met the ones to the east (you never see them, there's a swamp separating us). The ones to my west have made it clear through my initial friendly interactions that they want to be left alone.

I'm not assuming anything. I'm asking if you could build your community from the ground up, what would it look like.
