Wow, well done. I'd be all over a similar lifestyle, if I weren't a bit older, with all my family here that depend upon me. I'd have to get divorced, in order to pursue what you've built. I can't seem to impress upon any of my family what we're heading towards and what is coming. By the time most wake up and are on board, it'll likely be too late. Good times.

You are not alone in this sentiment and predicament. There are many couples facing this. It's like a race to try and wake them up and convince them. Yet the more you try, the more they close ranks. They are comfortable in their blindness.

Only a coward would divorce his wife over this. I’m sure he wants to be there for his family like a real man. We all die some day. Why spend it hiding in what looks like hell on earth??? Sorry. I would hate being in the middle of the jungle. It would cut my life short for sure.

- The type who wants to build a real legacy, not just consume one.

Very well said mate.

I'm looking in Australia but I see so few of us that see it coming and a treasous government and public service

I may have to abandon Australia afterall it abandoned me when they were fine that I may starve because I was denied work or go bankrupt. I'm told they increased the age of conscription from 50 to 60 and I'll not die for a country trying to kill us or a population that turned their backs to us.

All the countries are rife with treason and the un/wef agendas and more importantly the money and intent behind them have infiltrated almost all the countries so where to go.

That is unbelievable. You sir are a true superstar and modern day warrior. Yes a massive inspiration in a world gone mad. What a great response to the covid craziness which told us what was truly going on and what was likely ahead. You have set a very high bench mark but so very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much for your reply. There are so many lessons in what you wrote. Wishing you the best mate. I’m in Australia where I think the majority are completely asleep. We have a saying which used to be kind of cool, ‘she’ll be right mate!’ It’s this complacency and sheer gullibility in trusting the government that has put us in a position not so different to Canada and the UK. There’s something about the commonwealth countries that has made us ignorant and crazy compliant. I’m pretty sure you are seeing this too. But it’s all about focussing on what we can control and living our best lives with eyes open. You’ve well and truly ticked that box from what I can see. But it’s a process not a destination I believe. Like I said, bloody well done. It’s super cool.

Fascinating article! Thanks for including so many details and pictures. While it's not a lifestyle that many people could manage, if I were younger and had a willing partner, it would suit me very well. Congratulations on your accomplishments!

I reckon Simon is prepared based on what he’s done so far.

Truly remarkable. You've no doubt inspired many to free themselves from their shackles, myself included. Fresh water supply is obviously paramount. I'm currently looking for a rural property and have now adjusted the spec to include a mandatory fresh water source. You should write a book on your experiences. Exceedingly well done.

Would love to read a bit of the early draft of your book, can offer comments—would be a good trade for me to learn from reading the content. It's what I've done most of the last decade, is help writers with their first drafts.
