Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

I live in Wyoming. The upper panel is very true. The bottom panel is not even needed because there are quite a few other things that will likely kill you before the wendigo does.

Ah, I thought that the Wendigo was posting about its love of the outdoors on its blog. The internet has ruined me. I suppose it would end up a bit hungry if it was that far from its neighbours.

Not to be too pedantic but how're you fitting two mountains on only 800 acres?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The mountains don't need to fit entirely within the 800 acres, just enough that you can tap them for two red mana.

I think wendigo infested mountains are red and black

I tend to make a mountain out of a molehill...

It's in a valley between 2 mountains

Nah, happiness is 17 different Pho places within walking distance.

The duality of humanity.

Only if it has running water, a water heater, indoor plumbing, electricity, and high-speed internet.

You're not going to need internet with all the maintenance work you'll be doing on 800 hectare

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed, but really if I weren't trying to profit on any of it... I wouldn't touch much of any of it. Let nature do it's work on all of it but the way in/out and living space

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

800 hectares is 1976 acres. That’s a huge property. What sort of maintenance would you be doing? Farming? That’s almost 5 times the size of an average farm in the US. You’re talking about a large commercial farming operation, not an “off-grid lifestyle” property.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Who said hectare? OP says acre.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have several friends who live on off grid properties of 40-60 acres each.

It's a lot of work. Like constant work. And the weather sucks in winter and summer.

I like visiting them but seeing the reality of it killed my dreams of living off grid forever.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Right don't get me wrong I dream of this too, but I've also had enough experience spending time in remote places to know that this comes with a drastic lifestyle change that isn't very realistic at least not for right now for us.

Still toy with the idea of finding a happy medium though.

Invite the Wendigo in, we need a 4th for euchre.

Needs a third panel with rural person making this meme to keep the city people away

Cabins are for vacations. Living in a city is way better than living in the boonies for day to day life.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That's just, like, your opinion man

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

Maybe, but my opinion is borne out of experience. Having to drive 40+ minutes for groceries, running a generator for power, a water pump to get running water, and shitting in an outhouse gets old.

Also, people are nice if you aren't a shut in. I like being able to wander over to friends' house without it being that much of a hassle.

Easy there, satan

Grow and hunt, solar panels, electric pump, and a septic tank you can pay someone to clear for you. Technology didn’t stop in the 1930’s. You can also invite people to your land, fulfilling your last problem.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The fuck, do you think those of us who live rural, are missing modern technology? Lol that's hilarious...you gotta be really young to think this

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Depends on your house, right. I know someone who lives completely off grid, although they do have indoor plumbing. They're not even way out in the wilds either, just 10-15 miles from the nearest town. They're actually only a mile or two from a hydroelectric plant! I'd say it is unusual and unnecessary though, in most cases

Eh, i wouldn't even vacation out here. Maybe a day trip to a real nice mountain, but rural life suuuucks
