  • Why we chose to live in the Ozarks and why I think others are also. If you want to learn more about our journey into preparedness, check out my book: "Survivalist Family - Prepared Americans for a Strong America" www.barnesandnoble.com/w/survi...

    God lead me to your video. I was floored when you said God is calling his people to the ozarks. I've been telling people for years that God lead me to the ozarks. To this town that I had visited because of work for years. I didn't like this town but moved here. Because this is where God wanted me. Glory to God ( Yahweh ). Just had to share this.

    It's amazing, I feel God is calling me to the Ozarks... that is why I am looking into these videos. I have been a prepper for many years, but in the last few months I have had this calling to go to the Ozarks... When you said that many there believe God called them to the Ozarks I know exactly what you mean. Looking to start home steading and can't think of a better place to be.

      Many Northerners moved here after the "Civil" War. The reason they could is that the federal army burned the crops, farms and mills and killed the livestock. The Southerners who lived here had to move. It was just what the Northerners wanted, and they still do.

I'm now back in the rural area where I grew up. I now realise that it was by the Grace of God that I find myself where I am and raising my children with my wife in a far more family orientated community than where we were. Thank you and God bless

    I was born in New Jersey and have lived here all my life. I went to college in New York City, so spent a few years in my early twenties over there. Now that I am 32, I feel I want to get out of this part of the country. It is just too over crowded, too expensive, and people are very nasty. I think the wilderness or country life like that you have in the Ozarks is closer to g-d, and a more peaceful existence.

We've been called to the Ozarks as well! Our budget isn't 40k (those were the days, eh?), but we should be able to get 20+ acres with live water in our range. The main reasons we're choosing the Ozarks, though, are the people and values. Thank you for posting this all those many years ago! Bless you and yours.

    I really enjoy your videos PJF. I stumbled onto your cite a little over a week ago, and I've probably watched a half a dozen or so of them. But something you said in this particular video really stood out in my mind. " come out of her my people." Last summer I went to the Ozarks in Arkansas after having witnessed the eclipse in Missouri. We stayed for about 10 days camping in different areas throughout the mountains. I don't know why I felt compelled to do that but it was very very interesting, and I enjoyed the area very much. I'm from Michigan and I live in a city, and yes I agree with some information in one of your other videos, I need to get out of the city. But it's uncanny how I feel this calling to the Ozarks, specifically the Ozarks. My name is Kurt and I contacted you via comments before, but hadn't heard anything. And then I saw a response in the comment section of one of your videos stating that you had sent me two messages and to check my SPAM. I did that and did not see any messages. Please try again. Just to remind you, I was a guy with the master electrician's license, tons of tools and supplies and the knowledge to use them, and a desire to work and be part of a community. Thank you, Kurt

We have been thinking about it (the house) alot because of the shape this world is in. We moved from there to where we are now 2 years ago and are regretting it. We live like 2 mins from town but are on the outskirts and we are surrounded by trees and houses. We have 3 acres, a pond and some chickens where we are but if SHTF all those hungry people would find their way to our house. Sooo, I am contemplating putting this house up for sale and moving back to our other one which is more out of town. By the way I just found you'r videos and subscibed.

  • @AnnCrumsMiniHomesteadNews

    We are not up in the mountains (kinda wish we were) but we are considered the foothills of the Ozarks. I love it, and we aren't far from beautiful terrain. I've lived other places. THIS is my home though. I was raised in a town not far from where I live now and wouldn't live there at all because it's grown way too much to suit me. I go there maybe once a month to shop for things I can't find more locally. That's it. lol

    My wife and I were lead to come to Missouri a year ago invited by a so called brother in Christ.
    He told us he had made a promise to God that he would share his blessing with a brother...
    This was in the making of 5 years of social media contact.
    I left Chicago in 2015 going to Palm Springs Ca. to meet my now wife of almost 3 years.
    I had come here to Missouri to meet in person and pick out the gifted 2 acres, which I only parceled out about 3/4 of an acre.
    Went back to Ca. to sell our mobile home, that took another 2 years, then came and started working on the property.
    I didnt feel right just taking the land and tried just to purchase it from his 80 acres, he insisted not to accept any money.
    I paid out for a road, well, electric and septic purchased a trailer and got ready to build our retirement home. At that point I told him I wanted a deed of ownership.
    He said okay, but then kept putting it off.
    To make a long story short, he started oppressing us by telling me what and what not I was allowed to do.
    No fires, no visitor stays, no one allowed to drive in without his knowledge and then started by telling me we have a spiritual wall between us...
    I had already befriended people here and my wife and I feel in live with the laid back friendliness of the area... I finally told him I cant build here without a deed.
    That's when he looked me right in the eye and said "I changed my mind" now the real Mark Obbink came forward, not the fake Christian brother.
    I had already spent $16.000.00
    and he's changed his mind!
    I said that's okay just reimburse me the money I've spent and we'll be on our way.
    He sat on the couch, stuck his had down in his pants, stroked his beard and said "I ain't giving you shit" so much for trusting anyone ever again.
    In my youth I ran with a MC club and was known to fight at the drop of a hat, I like you was also ex-military.
    My flesh wanted to break him in half, my spirit wouldn't allow it.
    He doesn't realize the beating Yah saved him from...
    I realize he was a lesson and a steppingstone, because it is our fathers will for us to be here in Missouri. We purchased four acres that just happened to be listed on our 2nd wedding anniversary, right next to Bennett Springs.
    I do believe the Lord lead us here as you do, and he always shows us it's by his hand.
    Much love to you brother.
    I'll keep watching. peace.

    I'm in a nearby state and went through the same routine in the late 80's. One United Country Real Estate agent and going to small town Real Estate offices and asking for listings of cheapest wooded land they had. Looked at a lot of junk until I found a diamond 30 acres for $475.00 an acre. Most the old guard neighbors are gun friendly farmers and ranchers. New arrivals are often prepper minded getting out of the city. Country living can be rough, especially if you have to commute to the city for work. So generally you only get newbies moving out here that really have that desire to be country people. I and 5 of my neighbors all have rifle and/or archery ranges! LOL

    It's interesting to have read a lot of the comments where the person said that they were 'called' to move to the Ozarks. Well, so was I, but I have an added reason for that 'calling'; a 'calling' to come back home. My ancestors were among the very first few white folks that permanently settled along the White River, near Melbourne, Arkansas, way back in 1816. They established a town on the White River called Mt. Olive. Well, I had been living in the Dallas, Tx. area for 18 years...from about 1982-2000. I raised two children by myself, working my rear end off at a full time job and almost always with a part time job on the side just to keep the bills paid and keep a steady home life for us.But I started to get really burned out by the "big city' around 1997-98 and knew that I had to do something or have a complete breakdown. I had always wanted to move back to the Ozark foothills of N. Central Arkansas. I soon realized that my wishful desire to move back 'home' had become a real tugging, a 'calling', a being led to do more than just wish & hope. My kids were just out of H.S. and it took the next 2 years of getting things lined up properly and the kids off on their own with jobs and their own efficiency apt.; and me making several trips up here to nail down a job and a place to live before I knew that it would be right for me to move. And all throughout those 2 years, I knew..I knew...that I was being led to 'come home'. I told my friends that I didn't understand all of the reasons "Why" I had to move back here, but I knew that those reasons would become known at the proper time. I have been 'home' for 18 years now, my Daughter now lives here and her Daughter...my one & only Grandchild... is now here too. While in the Dallas area those years, we always lived in apts; I never could afford a house, even with my Veterans housing help...just way too expensive..unless I wanted to live in the bad part of town...and I mean BAD..! But after moving back, I soon found a house with a few acres and have been here ever since. Yep....I'm happy to be 'home'. I feel a very strong connection to my ancestors. Many people will think it's just nonsense, that connection that I feel, and that's okay by me, because I know better. Yep...I am glad that I finally made it back 'home' in the Ozarks, where I belong.

    ok this is strange. after my divorce 15 years ago I felt drawn to move to appalachia to do mission work. Im a die hard christian but at that time I wasnt attending church, hadnt read the bible, or was leading a very christian life. why would I all of a sudden feel so drawn to mission work? recently I also felt a stong pull to the ozarks. so I visited tge southern ozarks this past April. I retire this year and plan to do 1 year of mission work in appalachia and the move permanently to the southern ozarks. I want to start a mission there. what is strange is this undeniable pull to these places as I have never been to either before. I truly believe its what GOD wants me to do.

I told him he's not going to have a job soon and he can retire anyway, and we can raise our 4 yr old that we are adopting together, anyway I know god is telling me to go to the ozarks, it's in my face everyday, everyday i see something either on tv, the internet, i hear someone, i just blindly came across your channel. thank you for your video. May God Bless you and your Family.
