Off the Grid on a Homemade Island

Floating off the coast of Vancouver Island, a 45-minute boat ride to the nearest town, is a sustainable island fortress complete with a dance floor, art gallery and garden. For artists Catherine King and Wayne Adams, this is home: a labor of love 24 years in the making.

Get one while you build a successful life for both of you and have her help you so that both of you understand the value of what you have once you have it. That's just the experience I have with my wife. She was there when we had nothing she is now enjoying while we have everything... or everything we want anyway.

So being more wealthy only allows you a larger pool of women to choose. There's plenty of tests which can allow you to see which women honestly care and which women only want your money.

    @@_LEONKING_ Yes some people are very good actors and can even cry real tears when asked, but lots of people are bad actors or even terrible actors thus having them take the tests increases your chances of finding a good person. Unfortunately every person changes with time thus the lady of your dreams today might become the witch of your nightmares tomorrow so nothing is guaranteed. Personally I recommend the MGTOW path for focusing on a successful career than if desired use your money to hire a surrogate mother which will provide you one or more children. For several states within the USA this allows you full custody of your offspring. This means you won't ever have to worry about some x-wife or girlfriend taking half of what you own, using the courts to force you to pay child custody, using the courts to force you to pay alimony or poisoning your offspring against you. Unfortunately in the USA statistics show 80% of divorces are initiated by the women plus the courts, police, child custody and alimony all favor the women which is why MGTOW came into existence and is growing in popularity.

It was the other humans who ruined the lives of people living on that island, as they wanted to live on that safe and zombie free area too. Btw, assuming that zombies can't swim, as I said, they just walk into the water. And then they start floating on the surface due to decomposition. So any zombie reaching that small land, will have to be shot. If hundreds and thousands are heading your direction, then if you don't have enough ammo or people, well, you're fucked.

    It is registered as a float home and therefor legal in British Columbia Canada. As long as they are registered and pay their licencing/registration fee (annually I think) they can float their cabin/island off the main land or main island of Vancouver. Most people choose community type living with others around, but it is perfectly legal for them to choose a remote location. Hope that helped with your wonder/question.
