Land selection and Goal Setting for your new Permaculture property

Everyone at some point sees a permaculture video and says "That's it. I want this". This video is intended to be watched at this point in your permaculture, homesteading, freedom journey. It will go over things you should consider when buying your land.

The video is set up in 3 parts. The first one, honestly is me playing around in animation software to change up the feel of some of my videos and try something new out. It's meant to be a quick intro on goal setting. I do thing this is important though, because a lot of people just try to get the same land as anyone else. Then they design the land like anyone else. I think it's important that you decide first what YOU want your life to be. What YOU want in this project. Then design with those end goals in mind.

3:52 Part 2 then talks about the important factors to assess when looking at land. I could honestly have talked for 60 minutes or more on this, and added more things in like site access, plant species (both beneficial like Oak, and non-beneficial like poison ivy), and so on. I settled on roughly a 14 minute conversation on this, which is info-packed.

17:43 Part 3 then finishes the video off by combining the two above. What things should you look for based on the goals you are setting out for yourself in part 1. Of all the things in part 2, what should your priority be on, depending on your goal? Someone who wants to raise animals or market garden will have vastly different priorities than someone who wants to go off-grid. I then try to also add in things you should be focusing on right when you take your land. How to get the most bang for your buck in terms of time spent. What things do you want to get up and running right away. A little of this is fluid, based on your own circumstance, but some (such as focusing on the scale of permanence) should be done sooner rather than later. But also not so soon that you make a permanent mistake that is hard or impossible to change.

I hope this video has a lot of great info in it for people - to help everyone avoid mistakes that many make when starting out. Again, my goal with this channel is to get you up and running, planting tree and changing your life forever.

Thanks for watching friends,
Keith
