obviously you dont want your kids playing near the punji traps or claymores. but digging the holes and sharpening the sticks for the traps is a good family project. And if you catch one of the petas or neonazis in the holes, its an excellent opportunity to teach problem solving skills, like where to separate the joints so that the captures are more easily transported to the pig pen. Its about working smarter, not harder. Then there is melting the fillings down into ingots and the grinding of the teeth to powder for the gardens. So many opportunities on a compound for family bonding. On Fri, Apr 21, 2023 at 8:35 AM Adam Moffett <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I mean maybe? I used ludicrous examples because I'm not trying to pick on anyone particular. I don't care which side of the cup you drink the kool-aid from, I just don't want a bunch of lunatics hanging around where my kids might be playing.

All you need to worry about is proper placement of punji traps and claymores.

I'm trying to wrap my head around who would buy it and what for. I was looking at an empty lot to be my little outdoor playground, and it has one of these Amish places adjacent to it. In the back of my head I'm picturing some kind of weirdo cultists moving in. Like nudist PETA eco-terrorists or neo-confederate klansmen.

You can drive through Amish communities and see "for sale" signs one after the other. The Amish are generally known for good workmanship, to the point where some people go out of their way to get Amish building contractors. They also have multigenerational households, so you get these large properties with huge well-built houses, barns, and outbuildings. The problem is they have no utilities at all. They'll have hand pumped wells and outhouses and wood stoves. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/234-Hunts-Corners-Center-Lisle-Rd-Marathon-NY-13803/223346029_zpid/? I linked the above example because it was easy to find, but that particular one has electric out by the road. I saw a similar one for sale where there was no electric service available and it was listed for $140k. That's a friggin 'steal except for one thing: What could you do with a huge house with no electricity? A scout camp?
