> Being completely self sustainable is batshit nowadays
Correct. It's possible, but it's hard. I framed it that way because there is a high chance that anyone making a thread on this site about this topic in this way, especially in OP's age group, is going to be looking to do the "off-grid totally sustainable by myself homestead" thing, because that's what the online subculture posts propaganda about. It's good to snap them out of that. I never said you wouldn't be trading, that's part of the community when you're rural. I just can't cram absolutely everything in one post, and covering the basics and possible downsides/shit people don't think of in the context of what he meant was more important than painting an idyllic picture where everything is super great. It can be, but you work for it.

>Tf do you need minerals on your land for?
I don't know, anon. I'm not the one buying the land in this case. Some people do, and they need to think about that. It was just one word in a list of shit that occurred to me at the time. The point was "ask yourself what you're using the land for, then make sure you can actually do that". Useful examples were for getting thoughts going.

>Why would you buy land without road access?
Again, I mentioned it because he needs to think about this. Complete newfags DO NOT KNOW THIS. Just because YOU do, it doesn't mean that most people do not, especially if they're completely new to land ownership. Do you know how many people I've seen excited about a new lot only to find out that it's a flooded mess most of the year? The fact that it's more than 0 means it's worth mentioning land purchase/location concerns.

>Sounds like demoralization not redpill
He said redpill me, and that's what I did. I went over some concerns in a really basic way and emphasized that it is not an easy life. This is a soft-ass generation if you think saying "running a ranch is hard and also make sure you have rights on your land" is blackpilling.
