[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3574867, member: 24531"] Certainly if a person had a large plot of land, they could still form this "co-op" with OSA folks to allow them to come live on the land if the SHTF and be part of the trading community. I was just starting a conversation...the degree to which group is centrally governed is up for debate. Your idea could work as long as the mutual assistance between the micro groups existed. And yes, you'd still have to have borders and lookouts. This could work where each man is the head of his own little group/family but there was a common defense force established for outside threats. Also, if the group was not centrally governed with due process and internal laws to run things, then it would only work if the people were pre-vetted and of like mind. If one man wanted to beat his wife or do something else the majority of the others would not condone, then you would run into trouble within the micro groups with no top-level justice authority. You would literally have to mind your own business and ignore crimes for the privilege of living on that land and having the trading and mutual defense benefits. There would need to be some contract at a high-level where the micro groups agreed to certain terms to be part of the "co-op". Steal or kill or rape, it won't be ignored, etc.??? What do you all think? Otherwise I do like this option where each man has some independence while still being part of the overall co-op and living on the same land. Either model (larger single group centrally governed OR the co-op model you are suggesting) could work and provide better food, medical and physical security than being alone with your family regardless of what land you were on. I'd be eating a lot of birds with the pellet gun and using the casting net in winter LOL. Also, isn't poke poisonous? I seem to recall someone eating it when I was young but saying you have to boil it and not to east the berries? [/QUOTE]
