How To Find The Perfect Survival Retreat (part 1): Why I chose to live in Puerto Rico

➡ Marjorie, a survival expert, is starting a series on finding the perfect survival retreat. She has spent over 20 years researching and has written an ebook on the topic. She discusses her decision to move to Puerto Rico, highlighting the importance of relationships in the local culture and the benefits of the local flora, such as chocolate and turmeric. She warns against moving for tax benefits alone, as many who do so leave within a few years due to cultural differences.
➡ The speaker moved to Puerto Rico for its plant life and to learn Spanish. Despite occasional power outages, they appreciate the resilience of the locals and the prevalence of solar power. They are concerned about an impending famine and the corruption of the government, but find solace in the local resistance movement. They also enjoy the local culture, including salsa dancing, and the ease of growing food in the tropical climate.
➡ Despite being considered a wealthier town, 65% of the population lives below the poverty line. However, many people manage to live comfortably through small-scale farming, side jobs, and a strong cash-based economy. There’s also a significant number of homeowners, often due to inheritance. The town has a vibrant community with regular events, and despite some challenges like insects and rugged terrain, the residents enjoy the abundance of life and resources available.
➡ The speaker discusses their experiences in Puerto Rico, highlighting the small nationalist movement, the safety of the island compared to some U.S. cities, and the lack of homelessness due to strong family ties. They also mention the growing crypto community and the potential for blockchain technology in the government. The speaker encourages others to visit and possibly move to Puerto Rico, emphasizing the importance of creating safe and vibrant communities. They conclude by promoting their website and upcoming content.

Hey, this is Marjorie. And let’s see, I believe it’s Saturday, December 5, 2025, and I got communication from Buster. It’s not the full name, but Buster. And then there have been some other people that have also been asking and people are getting like, there’s a lot of people who are realizing, hey, I need to get somewhere safe. So this talk is going to be a beginning of a series on how to find the perfect survival retreat. So I have spent more than 20 years and everywhere I go and in fact a lot of places I have just intentionally traveled there looking at the towns and the communities and just trying to see what is going to be viable.

And of course interviewing survivor or collapse survivors, reading the whole survival fiction genre, which I’m not, you know, and then all the, all the survival books, reading, watching movies, I mean, been involved in survival and preparedness and I think I have a pretty good, what I found, really good is actually a lot of the journals from people who lived like during the Civil War or during World War II, that kind of thing in, in Europe, not so much here in America. Anyway, I’ve got a bunch of things. First off, I want to let you know, Buster, I, I, I feel you.

I’m going to assume you’re male, by the way. There really are only two genders. So Buster, I’m going to refer to you as a male. Turns out Penguin’s a female. Anyway, I wrote a whole ebook on this. We used to sell it or do email collection or whatever. I’m just gonna put the link down below. You can download it directly. I know you’ve got urgency. There’s a lot of you that have urgency. Just download the, it’s not that long. I don’t know what it is. 14 pages or something like that. And I really condense information that took me at least a decade to like figure out principles and shortcuts.

Really, really good shortcuts on how to find the perfect survival retreat. And so anyway, I’m going to get going. I’m going to do a whole series of this, by the way, on that ebook. Oh, if you’re on YouTube or Brighteon or Rumble or the gazillion places where I upload videos, I’m going to have that, that link. If it’s not, if it didn’t get transported over into your comment section, go over to my substack to channel Marjorie Wildcraft substack. I know you can find it, you’re smart. And that’s where the link is definitely in. So, you know, check it out.

It’s a great ebook. It’s still all completely applicable and valid today. I even have some locations in there and different things. There’s actually a surprisingly good number of places that are going to do well. So. And a lot of people have been asking me. So I’m going to start out this series talking about why I chose Puerto Rico. And it’s. Where you move is very, very obviously a big stressful thing. Like right now you have choices to move to a lot of different places. Fairly soon you may not have, you know, travel may not be possible like that.

Right. Getting around may not be as easy. So where you go is probably where you’re going to be to cruise through this situation. So let’s get you set up on a place. That’s great. A lot of people move to Puerto Rico because they do have some really sexy tax advantages for different types of businesses. And especially if you have some kind of an online business and you’re bringing revenue into the island. I think it’s a great tax program because it does encourage more income coming into the island. This poor little island does need that. I did not move here for that reason.

And from what I’ve seen, you should never move because of tax. You should not have a government help you decide where you’re going to live. Like, I think that’s a completely invalid way to make a decision. And apparently about 50% of the people that move here from the mainland, they call them Americans, but everybody here is an American because Puerto Ricos are Americans. Sometimes they call them Americanos. But Anyway, mainlanders, about 50% of them that come here for those tax purposes leave within a few years. So, you know, just there is an attrition rate. It is different.

It almost. It’s this really edge vibe to it. It’s a lot like Latin America. It’s. Puerto Ricans have their own. I mean, if you thought Texans were proud of being Texans, that ain’t. That ain’t even a candle compared to what Puerto Ricans are proud of, being Puerto Ricans. So there is a, you know, there’s a thing here about being Puerto Rican anyway, and I’m not sure where I went on that, but I’ll pick it up. I’m sure I’ve got a list I’m working off of. So anyway, 50% of the Americana is left. And because it is different, right? It’s a different culture, it’s a different way of being.

Actually, let me riff on that culture for one minute here. So, you know, here you, you know, everywhere you do, you pay for goods and services, right? Like you know, I want, I need my brakes, I need my oil change or whatever it is, right. You know, in. But in America you’re more used to just going there, paying money, getting it done. Right now here you did there is that you do need to pay somebody, but more and more before that happens. It’s really relationship based. And especially in the smaller, more rural areas like where I am with which is where you’re going to want to be.

You know, in San Juan it’s all kind of like business. But here it’s more like, you know, that guy’s going in a small business and he doesn’t have to deal with you, right? He doesn’t want to fix your brakes or change your role. He doesn’t have to do that or she. So. And a lot of things really are relationship first oriented and relationship oriented. Like there’s not really a yellow pages or, or easily finding services. And so it’s a lot more relationship oriented. Who do you know, can you talk and ask and making friendships and you know, it’s very useful to befriend a couple of local Puerto Ricans who are connected in.

So that, that I think really especially people who have a lot of wealth, which is most of the people that came here for the tax reasons, that’s what they did and they don’t like that. They just want to pay their money and get their stuff done and they get up, you know. So I think that’s like one of the mismatches. Just, just wanted a heads up on that. I’m. I’ll give you the five reasons that I moved here and that’ll give you some idea of the orientation. First of all is I love chocolate. Like I’m addicted to chocolate.

I’m just gonna have a 12 step. I don’t need a 12. I don’t want to stop eating chocolate. I’m not going into a 12 step program. Funny, I met a guy one time who was going to prison for cocaine usage or something like that. And his other friend was there before he, he was at this farm and he was going to have to start his time in a week or something. He had a week of freedom. And his friend was like, dude, if you’d have just gone up to the judge and said this, that and the other, you’ve never had any other arrest.

And if you just said, you know, you won’t do it again or whatever, then they would have let you go. You wouldn’t go to prison. And the guy Was like, I think his name was Carlos. He was like, but I love cocaine. I could not lie. So anyway, I love chocolate and I can’t lie. And it grows on trees here. There are chocolate farms here. Really? I, I am serious. It is an antidepressant. It’s got all kinds of nutrients in it. I, I just love chocolate. Do I have to convince you my chocolate’s good? Okay. There are people who have moved here specifically because things grow here.

I was, you know, a while ago, been having problems with my thumb. You know, watching too many YouTube videos. It turns out it’s osteoarthritis. We got a name for it. And I was at a, actually at the community garden I had, we grew a bunch of turmeric. I never really liked turmeric. I don’t know why we grew it. It just grows really well. And I was at that plant and seed swap party and while I was there, I was doing some maintenance on the garden. I was going to pull up all the turmeric and give it away to somebody because there was a bunch of people there you could plant, seed, swab, right? And this one woman came up to me and she was talking about turmeric.

She said, you know, that thing helps so much with joint pain, inflammation. She said, I actually moved to this island because of that plant right there. She says, I have all these problems and when I drink teas and make food that has turmeric in it, I feel infinitely better. And I’m like, okay, forget the plan A of giving it all to everybody else. And it really is a potent medicine. So anyway, there are lots of people who have moved here for plants. There are a lot of people who love plants here. A lot of people who love plants.

I came here also. I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish my entire life. I lived in Texas for what, 20 something years. And you would think, but no, there was no way I was going to learn Spanish in Texas. Especially living way out in the rural woods on a 75 acre farm and ranch. And here. And actually you do not need, it’s. You really need to learn the language where you’re living. But in a lot of Puerto Rico, in the places where you will probably end up because you’re an Americano, there’s lots of English, so you don’t have to learn the language.

But I really want to. And actually I have to go to a little bit of effort here to, you know, when I go check out at the grocery store, you know, I want them to tell me it in Spanish and if they tell me it in English, I’ll repeat it back to them in Spanish. And they get a lot of the cashiers now know and they teasing me. One of the bank tellers like, she like won’t talk to me in English and she’s great actually. It’s really fun. She knows, you know, she speaks fluent English. But anyway, food grows easily here.

24 7, 365, right? It grows easily here. And there’s a famine coming. Like, let’s not kid ourselves whether it’s economical. You know, all, you know, all this in the animals. We’re in World War Three, there’s always famine. With war we got hyperinflation, currency collapse. There’s always famine with that. You know, there’s famine coming, right? And when people can eat, they’re happier and they’re better to get along. And I like being in a place for me, I feel secure and happy and it’s, oh, my workload is so much less to grow food, so. And it’s so much easier here.

Infinitely easier here. It’s wonderful. Now you can grow food everywhere. But yeah, it’s way easier here. Dancing. I love to dance. And men here are very, they’re Latinos, you know, they’re very proud of the salsa. We have salsa classes and we have dancing in the, in the. On Sundays at the farmer’s market, often Magali will open up her jukebox and we’ll all be dancing in the plaza. And you know, people here like to dance and the men especially are proud to dance. Now, you know, I lived in Texas. Will you please douche that with me? You know, like, nah, cowboys.

Anyway, these people are very resilient. That’s the fifth reason. So, yes, the infrastructure is total crap. You know, I’m actually getting a new battery for my solar system and getting things fixed up again now that I’ve moved from that off grid house. And you know, I run an online business. I have got to be online. And at least every month we have some kind of a power outage a couple hours and a couple of times a year there’ll be an island wide couple of day power outage. I mean, it’s just, it’s just a part of life here, which I actually think is great because I don’t know, there’s more solar panels per square human.

That’s not really an indicator, but there are more, there is more solar here than almost anywhere on the planet. And there’s lots and lots of people, I don’t know why they buy gas Generators. But there’s a lot of people that almost every house has some kind of water cistern. Unfortunately, they’re not connect collecting rain, but at least they have water. You know, preparedness is a deal here. And the government actually gives discounts on cuts, taxes or something like that in June and July and says, hey, buy your preparedness supplies and we’re going to help out by that.

I mean, preparedness is a thing here because they have been through earthquakes and hurricanes and all kinds of disruptions and they get it. So, yeah, some other things I’m gonna just riff on, on what’s, what’s going on here. The government is absolutely and totally corrupt. If you know of a place where there’s a government that isn’t corrupt, I think Liberland is one. I’m going to do an interview with that guy. But they’re all entirely corrupt. But it’s really abundantly apparent here, by the way, there is a resistance movement. And I am not super in touch with them.

I’m just very much on the fringes of it. Hopefully as my linguistic skills get better. I don’t know, one of the ways you can tell if somebody’s involved in the resistance and their symbol is they have a Puerto Rican flag that’s black and white. So, you know, there’s a star and lines and that’s normally red, white and blue. And if you see a flag that’s black and white, that indicates that person is in alignment with the resistance. And it’s still very underground. And it’s, you know, they do the, the government here regularly. If somebody gets too vocal or too whatever, they.

They will kill them. So it’s a real deal. One of the last big. Well, they’re not last. Pedro Albizo Campos was a huge, huge resistance fighter. And yeah, that didn’t, didn’t end so well for him. But I like it that there is a resistance movement here. There are people that recognize this government has to stop. 85% of the food here is imported. And that’s horrible because it could be. They could grow 100%. On the other hand, in most American cities you have way less than even 1% of your food is grown locally. So here that at least 15% is grown locally is actually way better than most other places.

And yes, it’s horrible. Right. So let’s see, in the tropics here, life is actually fairly pleasant. You have no need for heating or cooling. Now I do have some air conditioning. I mean, people get into air conditioning, especially if you’re going to Live in the city, you need air conditioning. It does get kind of hot in the summer. Nothing like Texas, but. Or Arizona. And people live on ridges here. The terrain is. When you get off of the beach, the terrain. And you don’t want to live on the beach as much as you might think you do.

You really don’t. It’s pretty rugged, which means you can live in some beautiful, beautiful, and people live on the ridges and you get these spectacular views, but more importantly, you get these nice constant breezes. And yeah, life is pretty pleasant. And in fact, if you live inland a little bit, like up at a thousand feet or 1500ft even, it gets downright chilly. So, you know, you can dial in whatever you want and you can adapt yourself to very easily to not needing heating or cooling. So, you know, I loved it. We homesteaded in Texas and in the fall, usually when people came to visit, we’d head out to the back 40 and cut firewood.

And yeah, you know, it’s fun and I enjoy doing it. And as we get into collapse, you know, I. I don’t want to have to have that chore. So anyway, now there are people who love snow. I get it. It’s. It’s delightful. And there are people who love the winter and if they prepared for it, it’s a wonderful, cozy. It’s a very different lifestyle and I like it, but. And here, you know, you’re active like all year long, so it’s different. But I much prefer not having to have that worry of am I going to need to cut firewood or whatever.

I was astonished. I was here in 2020. I’ve been here for at least six years now. How many people rolled up their sleeves, took the jab, masked up. It was astonishing to me how many people did that. Right now there were some. I love Tony over at the bookstore. He fought him. He said, no, it’s not a law, it’s a mandate. You didn’t have to wear a mask at the bookstore. Yeah, it was a surprising amount of people. So anyway, there are lots of guns here and we do have a military presence and the military presence is now increasing due to the whole Venezuela, Caribbean thing.

Personally, I like living in a territory or an area that has a lot of guns. You never know who is armed. I believe it makes for a more peaceful and calm population, you know, and. And people do. There are a lot of guns here. And yeah, like I said, almost everybody’s armed. It’s. There’s a whole lot of concealed carry going on. I’ll leave it at that. You can decide whether you like that or not. Poverty. So I think there’s a lot of pluses and minuses about poverty. Even in Rincon, where I live, we’re on the western edge here.

This is a little tourist town, basically organized around surfing like this surfing here. The waves apparently are just fantastic if you’re a surfer for a long period of time during the year. And so surfers love it here. But even in this town that is, quote unquote, more wealthier. 65% of the population is below the poverty line. Now, the poverty line is solely based on how much Federal Reserve notes you have. That is not actually an indication of poverty, in my opinion. So there are many, many, many people who do not have a lot of money, so to say.

And they’re doing fine. They got a small patch, they’re growing platinum. You know, they’ve got chickens, they’re doing whatever they do. They’ve got, you know, small gigs on the side. There is a very strong cash based economy here. And I’ve been shocked. Like one of the laboratories I was going to get my, my eyebrows are thinning on the edge. I wanted to get some thyroid tests. I go into this laboratory on like Main street, right? And I go in and they. Do you have this T4, T3 antibody there? Yeah, yeah, we got that. And it was like $100, by the way.

It’s a lot cheaper here. And I whip out a credit. No credit card, no checks, nothing. Cash. They only accepted cash. I’m like, that’s really interesting. Okay, so there’s, there’s a lot of that going on here. And it’s because we’ve got this whole underground economy. There’s also a surprising number of people that own their own homes. So, you know, or own their land because they inherited it from mom or dad or granddad or whatever. So in terms of financial resiliency, yeah, there’s a lot stronger in that way. I like it here in rurally. There’s still a lot of horses.

You know, people don’t look at you funny if you have some kind of strange contraption that you’re driving around in. People are pretty creative. I like it here for that reason. I think the countrysides are like that. You know, I gotta say, when I’m talking about Puerto Rico, I’m usually not talking about San Juan, which is where I’d say 50% of the population lives. And it’s a big city. And it’s like, they’re like city people, like everybody without any common Sense at all. I will say that I love tourist towns because. And if you have a reluctant spouse or a reluctant family that you’re like, we have got to get on a dodge.

And they’re like, I don’t want to hunker down, you know, I like. Tourist towns are a great way to really make your family that may not be on board happy. And I like tourists because until the thing collapses, I want to live, you know, I want to have a great life. And a tourist town can support a lot of restaurants and activities and infrastructure that cannot be supported if the town is just based on whatever the resonance have. So I love tourist towns and again, it’s because of that. And this little town is like every Thursday night there’s a big party.

It’s like a big street party. And it’s really fun and people are happy and I want to be around happy people. That’s actually another. The Puerto Rican demeanor is. I mean, we got everything here. Believe me, we got. There are humans, right? But generally most Puerto Ricans are pretty good natured and happy and you know, they’re living on an island, they’re living in paradise. Insects. Yes, there is actually what surprised me is actually how little insects there are here. And it sort of makes me a little bit nervous. When I was growing up in Florida, like you could go through areas and like not breathe because of the insects.

And I would have expected areas like that here. And I have not found it. There are surprisingly few now. There are some. And if you’re a mosquito magnet, then, you know, quit eating sugar and clean up your diet and you won’t. They won’t bother you as much. But I really don’t have there. It’s really way less than you would think. And they’re here, you know, so. And in the northern climates, one of the advantages to that is when you have a deep freeze, you kill off or set back all the insects, you know, so it does make.

Does for some people. They really like that. Yes. And we have. There’s so much life here everywhere. Yes. So there’s cockroaches. There’s so much food here, like mango trees and avocado trees and pana trees and papaya trees and things that where the fruit just isn’t eaten, it falls to the ground and it engenders a rat population which engenders a cat population. There’s just so much life going on here. Some people are overwhelmed with that and they don’t like it. I love it. But yeah, yeah. By the way, live on a Ridge. Ridge living is fantastic. One of the problems is that the slopes are often pretty steep.

So key thing is to try and live. And it’s a permaculture principle. If you can live on the halfway up the hill, you get those wonderful breezes that go up and down. And hopefully you can get some areas with plateaus. But the land is pretty rugged and pretty. You know, you do learn more about terracing and things like that here when you’re growing hurricanes. So everybody’s like, oh, my God, everywhere you go, there is going to be a hazard, right? Buster was talking about Hawaii. Volcanoes are the hazard in Hawaii. And I looked at Hawaii very seriously.

I love the island of Kauai, which is called the Garden Island. Way more lusher and a lot more growing on Kauai than the other islands. And you just. I just was finding myself just way kind of deep, having this nervousness about volcanoes, right? And not to mention how expensive it is and how isolated it is and all that. And I love Hawaii. There’s a really wonderful Hawaiian vibe there. But I’m not used to living around volcanoes. If I’d have grown up there and then that’s like, everybody knows about volcanoes and it’s fine. That’s great. Another great.

Actually, oftentimes what you grow up with is what you’re most comfortable with. Now that can be overcome. So, for example, I grew up in South Florida, right? So I love the tropics. And hurricanes don’t bother me. Actually, when somebody says a hurricane is coming, my associations as a kid with a hurricane was we have hurricane parties. The electric was going to go out, everything was going to shut down for a couple of days. The adults were all going to go drinking and us kids could just play. So I love hurricanes, right? My former husband grew up in South Texas during the worst drought they ever had in the 50s and 60s.

He loves, like, desert areas. Like, is that what he grew? I look at the pictures of him as a boy and it’s just like there’s nothing growing, you know, and he loves that environment. It drives me nuts. But by the way, for those of you that do live in a desert, if you have access to water, I would say desert growing is almost easier than the tropics or anywhere else. Because if you got water and you can manage it, because then you have water, way less insect, way less weeds, you know, you can really focus what you want to grow with that water.

So anyway, some more thoughts and ideas. The terrain are rugged, like everywhere else. The soils are hit and missed, composting is super, super easy. There’s tons and tons of organic matter here. You can have a bio. What do they call those things where you put bio stuff in it and you. And it makes natural gas for you. I’ve actually got one. I haven’t set it up because it’s kind of. Once you get it set up, it’s. What do they call those things? Anyway, you can do that here because there’s enough organic matter, there’s an excess of organic matter.

So, you know, natural fuels for cooking are going to be totally possible here. Agroforestry, which I like better. Now, agroforestry is where you grow trees rather than annual plants. Now, I do have some annuals, like for peppers and cucumbers and tomatoes and stuff like that. But for example, like beans, there’s a tree called the gondule, and it’s a tree and it produces for a couple of years. And I like that better because you plant that tree and it grows, it produces for a couple of years. It’s a lot less work than the, you know, growing seasonally every year green beans or every season growing green beans, for example.

So it’s ultimately less work. And then if you run animals underneath that to do the fertilization for you, you can really make some really, really simple systems for growing a lot of food here very quickly. But agroforestry is the best way to go here. And in each region there’s going to be things that work really, really well. When I was in Colorado, what worked really well was in the, in the fall, take down an elk or a deer, a couple of deer, and just live off of that for the year. You know, that’s a huge amount of calories.

Right. So the hunt was very important to people In Colorado. There is a movement called the Gringos Go Home. I am not sure how much of that is actually like a George Soros funded thing, you know, creating dissent. I have never, I have only had a brief experience. There is a very, very small nationalist, we don’t want any gringos here. Movement on the island. But they’re very, very small. Yeah. And you know, I, I’ve talked with them regularly. I’m all about growing food. And it’s funny that they were like, well, we just want Puerto Ricans to grow food.

And I’m like, okay, you guys displaced the Tainos that were here before you. Anyway, let’s not get into that conversation. So there is something like that going on. It’s not real big. And some of it, again, I think Is being funded by other sources just, you know, fueling anger to create dissent and division. Is it dangerous? I would say I have been around the island a lot and especially spent some time in San Juan and I’ve lived in and worked in been a lot. Now I would say there are some areas that are a little more sketchy than others, but there is nothing as dangerous as like some of the sketchy areas of Austin, New York.

Oh my God, Los Angeles. Isn’t all of Los Angeles almost a sketchy area now? So, you know, there’s definitely places where you want to be careful, but it’s. I don’t find any area that’s nearly as bad as some of those cities and what they have deteriorated to. Also there’s not. I have not seen. And I’ll be heading into San Juan here again. But there’s not a lot of homelessness here. First of all, they can’t really route migrants here the way they can on the mainland. And the other thing is most of Puerto Ricans here, you know, they got a cousin or a brother or, you know, somebody that they can go live with.

So, you know, it’s a little different that way. Also, you know what you are. I really do believe if you’re going to be attacked, it’s partly because of what you are putting out. Right? You need to be responsible for that. You know, there is no such thing as a coincident or an accident. So. So I’ll leave that for another conversation for another day. But in general, and I don’t know what the crime stats are because Puerto Ricans do kill each other and do all the things that people do. But in general here, I have not found it to be that dangerous.

There is a lot of wealth here and so there is that disparity. And we have the area in Dorado where it’s the billionaires area and there’s all kinds of areas. Like, you know, if you wanted to go to palmas, there’s like 26 gated communities all together clustered around a bunch of whole cool restaurants and banks and stuff and golf cart community type deal. You know, there’s. There’s all kinds of flavors. And then if you do want to be in the city, there’s San Juan and then I live in Rincon, which is on the western side. And again, it’s a surfing community and it’s a like the tourist.

It’s the tourist town. And even people from San Juan come here all the time. And everybody island loves Raincoan. The vibe here is just incredible. I like it because it’s laid out so that you can have a pedestrian lifestyle. And I will get more into looking at how a town is laid out and getting an indication of what the population is like just from how the town, the street and the plaza and everything is laid out in future things. But this town is laid out along one of the more ideal scenarios that I like to see.

There’s a strong crypto community here, so part of that whole tax thing was there’s some 0% capital gains type stuff and it attracted a lot of the crypto community. There’s good and bad with that. But overall the cryptos and the blockchain is like, that’s a huge part of our future. And having a whole chunk of our population knowledgeable, working in, building, developing, talking about figuring out crypto, I think is very, very important. And I’ve seen some initiatives like, hey, we want to get the Puerto Rican government on the blockchain. And I saw some artists a while ago and they had created some NFTs and were selling.

So there’s, there’s a really nice youthful entrepreneurial vibe that comes along with the crypto and the blockchain community. A lot of them are in one of the most famous neighborhoods in San Juan is called Condado. Really fun if you’re a young person and, and you’re just wanting to, you know, get in. I like to go visit there from time to time or go to a meetup just because there’s just, just wonderful, learn new things, new vibe happening there. And again, I’m getting to the look down to the list and this video has been going on a little bit longer than I wanted it to.

But the main reason I’ve moved here is because it rains. So I’ve homesteaded and gardened and lived in deserts for 20 years and I’m used to living in Florida and I love rain, so. And that’s, that’s one of my personal reasons. Again, you know, if you’re adapted, there’s, there’s desert rats. People do great in the desert and there’s a lot of great things about that. You know, there’s a lot where your place on earth is where you’re happiest and where you’re most content. By the way, if you are interested in moving to Puerto Rico, I’d recommend you come out on a look, sea trip, fly into San Juan, do some walking tours, spend a few days there and then drive around the island.

It doesn’t take that long. I recommend you take a couple of days to do it. And you know, reach out to me. I’d love to meet up with you. I meet up with people regularly for lunch or coffee and just, you know, show them this community. And I’ve done that in when I was in Texas, I helped build that community and had people move there. And I’d love to share it with you. So if you’re thinking about it, come on out, reach out and let’s do that. One final point I want to point out to you is you don’t move to a place because it’s safe.

A place is safe because you move there. And over and over again, we got to talk about you stepping up, preparing. We are in this change right, right now our quote unquote leadership is about bunch of jackass actors, right? It’s bullshit. It’s a clown show. It’s a circus, right? We need real leadership. And most likely if you’re watching this, that is you. Somebody who’s got resources, somebody who’s preparing, somebody who can see kind of what’s going on. None of us has the full picture but has some rough idea of the big moves and is ready to help you, has the resources to be able to help serve and help build community.

Is this thing is collapsing and out of that collapse is going to become something new. And if you want that to be a Palantir Borg thing, then just do nothing and sit on the couch. But if you want it to be like organic, regenerative, vibrant, healthy, free, then you need to step up into a leadership role right now. And you will be wherever you are is going to be the safe place because you are bringing safety. All right, anyway, there’s my rant. Start growing food. Go to backyardfoodproduction.com seriously. Hey, I also got a quick announcement as the grow network is going through a lot, a lot, a lot of changes.

So if you want to get that free ebook that I put down below, I just again, I used to charge for. We used to do email collection. I don’t have time for that right now. I just put the direct link to Amazon Web Services. You can download it. And the COVID of that ebook, I spent. I spent so many hours looking for the exact picture. I really want that property that’s on the COVID of that, that ebook. But anyway. All right, this is Marjorie. I’ll talk to you tomorrow. I’ve got the walk and talk coming. Got a whole bunch of new.

Oh my God, can we keep up with the apocalypse? Anyway, Buster, I hope that helps. You and I will be doing a whole series? Because I know this is a pertinent topic. I’m hearing more people come up and we will help you find your place on Earth.
