I just want to find some people tired of living in modern society or doing nothing who would share the idea of making a group, getting resources/knowledge, building/affording a ship and claiming some uninhabited island at the Carraibeans?
Anyone with similar dreams?

>building/affording a ship
Laughed at this bit. Not just because sailing is and can be very difficult, but just imagining Sup Forums sailing together, each performing repetitive feats of physical behavior that isn't masturbating or defending traps with the keyboard.
I'm on board with escaping society but finding an island and building a group isn't necessary.
Just buy a cheap house on the outskirts of a cheap city, and live there. Far far easier
That's been my dream for a while
Except it's now moved to something that is actually more feasible, Starting my own Space company similar to what RocketLab in NZ has done
And over time, build a space station... And people can pay for 3 month visits to get away from the stresses of society and earth, maybe focus on study, work, maybe just time to reflect on themselves and get a better understanding of the universe
How did you manage to open such company without few billion $ of capital?
Traps could be allowed, why not? Plus, I bet we would find people skilled in sailing.
>inland skipper with certificate reporting in
It's something...
I bet that with resources of 100-200 people we would be able to afford/build a ship. Living the dream dude...
That would be fucking hilarious and scary at the same time. Imagine it happened. Wouldn't you feel free?
But that's the very, very small version of the above described.
>But that's the very, very small version of the above described.
That's a good thing. The plan needs to be as simple and small as possible in order to have the best chance of success.
>How did you manage to open such company without few billion $ of capital?
Investing...
Hopefully, I'll have to start a fund first, maybe grow a small investment firm to pay the overhead of such a business venture... But god almighty I want it to happen so bad, I feel it in my bones
>I bet we would find people skilled in sailing.
Open water/open sea is a bit different. And professional sailors with a focus on sailing only (as would be with pic related) can be quite expensive.
>Wouldn't you feel free?
Sure, when I'm rowing away on the only lifeboat because the other ones were thrown overboard in autistic rage during a discussion as to whether or not traps are gay.
>I bet that with resources of 100-200 people we would be able to afford/build a ship
More than just the ship. It's tools, food and water, a marine carpenter (needed on a tall ship during long voyages) and more.
I think I'll just continue with my idea of living innawoods alone. Thanks anyway
Remember that the people that would like to take part in the adventure would be for example sailors or other skilled people, as I asid, everyone would be useful. Few sailors, carpenter etc. and we would be fully crewed (or teached how to do what by some wise guy/guys).
I would love to see the "trap tent" in the ship. Kek.
I know it's different, however, people learned the skills needed somehow, we would do the same. Learn from mistakes.
I wish you best and I hope you succeed. I am trying to invest too, but I am a poorfag with no capital.
That is possible my friend, we just have to be able to manage people.
PS. Traps are not gay.
>Remember that the people that would like to take part in the adventure would be for example sailors or other skilled people
People with those sorts of qualifications usually just have their own yachts/get drunk in Thailand.
What are you investing in?
ITT anons create there own Somalia
yar har a pirates life for me
Nothing yet... Not recently anyway
I'm in
Attach onaholes to paddles, infinite rowing
So what were you investing in? And how much would you need to fulfill your dreams?
>That is possible my friend, we just have to be able to manage people
Anything is possible, but why make things more difficult? That's the entire problem I have with all of these schemes when they come up.
>I wish you best and I hope you succeed. I am trying to invest too, but I am a poorfag with no capital.
Thanks man. good luck yourself
My father was a marine engineer and i've been on a few ships in my 20 years, Helped in the engine room on a really big yacht once.
Navigated my fathers Hartley a few times too, Also helped him repair and restore the Hull in a slipway. I know a little about seafaring life.
Maybe if you get a Kickstarter I'd contribute, And if it took off, I'd join... But my heart is pretty set on succeeding at the space station idea, however far down the road that might be... Who knows though
hate to break it to you but a caribbean island is a shit place to go. indifferent water supply, poor soil, exposure, huge fucking weather, malarial and other insect-born diseases, etc etc
Just a word of advice, dude. Anyone that answers this ad and wants to go along with it is probably not the person you'd want to be alone on a deserted island with. just sayin'
Where do we start?
Left or right?
I'm also in. Who else?
>a caribbean island is a shit place to go
In complete agreement. But I'm not OP.
Yes.
Oil and Foreign Exchange originally
I approached it wrong as new trader and was trading my limited capital with emotion.. It's been 2 years since I started, Been taking my time, Using demo accounts, Learning all the resources and building my knowledge and strategy... And how much? I don't know, How long is a piece of rope?
I think I could made it work with an initial capital of 20k, Maybe even 10k
But 50k would be a whole lot nicer and leave a whole lot more wriggle room
it's not 1703
If we start something, I think it's better to have some people because we do not know what we would have to face. More people = safety and manpower. Of course, food supply, water, medicines etc. is also needed in huge volume then.
Everything is possible.
Where are you from user btw?
Not Somalia, we are not fucking blacks.
Not sweden obviously, don't want my balls to freeze off.
>Where are you from user btw?
Australia, Land of alcoholism, big egos and dumb youth
You?
But we could hunt the islamcucks and spread fear. We would name our ship after Breivik, "White Breivik" let's say, and we would pain our ship with white patterns. He would be proud.
Hermits don't want to live on an island together. Much less a bunch of autistic neets.
I just want to suck a LOG out of his asshole
I live in Poland, land of catholic-socialism, alcoholism, poverty and stupid catholic fanatics that are banning abortion after the rape and anti-pregnancy pills as the pills are "killing people".
I work, try to study, contribute, and I am awarded with poverty, huge taxes and everything worst.
I want to get out and live.
>I would love to see the "trap tent" in the ship. Kek.
Shit like this is why I sail alone.
Somalia, aren't there still pirates?
Former Boatswainfag reporting. I can teach you all you need to know and I can even sail the vessel into and out of port. Got my master helm qualifications.

>dreams
only the CREAM
and the STEAM
I'm actually in total agreement. But we would need to set up trade with someone. If it's an island, depending on size, resources would be an issue. Also would need a low maintenance way of getting traded goods. So a ship like what you posted would be a good idea.
Yeah but I served on a cruiser
Or you could just get a bunch of Invester/TraderFags from here to join, And they can pay all our overhead
why live the hard way? we could live in luxury
I want to say "Fuck It!" to modern society and go off into the wilderness and become a Mountain Man
There's even a movie about it, forgot the name though. It was somewhere in the UK I think.
soooo
any coordinates to undiscovered or unclaimed land/island? We can make all this talk but if there is no land that we can claim, without forming a small army and going to war, what's the plan? Space? UNDERWATER!!!!
if we had the capital, the engineering, the location and the willpower, fucking sealab2021
kek
See... someone already thought of space
>abandoned oil rigs
Are there even abandoned rigs?
They're quite expensive, even if it's only for scrap value.
Pirate radio may have been 'Sealand'. Also a reason why structures like that aren't usually left.
"Reports indicated they were attempting to reach the Carribean but were found drifting in the harbor they left from"
Why don't you all come live with me here in my Mom's basement. Nobody ever comes down here.

Well, a basic rule is that they would need to get something out of it as well. They aren't just going to volunteer all that money for people to live off them for free. It's only common sense.
No, but she will bring us down juice boxes every now and then
Why settle?
A well-outfitted ship can serve as a permanent residence.
You pay about a dollar per watt for solar power if you buy solar panels from China.
I think it's $10k for a system to purify water.
Food costs are negligible if you stop in the right places.
Of course, a ship is only comfortable as a permanent residence if it's huge.
And huge ships almost always have high operational costs, besides huge sailing ships which are very rare.
War, with 100-200 armed people suddenly arriving at some small island we would conquer it, learn the terrain, set camp and we would be able, I guess, to defend it. Plus no huge forces would be sent as who would waste resources?
We could raid. Or trade. Or both.
Haven't considered it. It's unstable highly. On real land you can farm etc.
You won;t kill our dreams.
Plus we would need like 80-90% of crew and only 10-20% traps to maintain order and have some fun.
Great idea! I'll join you only if I can get a date with Lorde
You good at blowjobs?
Unrelated....
yeah well thousands of people think of space...
i mean it's kind of the next obvious step unless you want to get into crazy ass theories of multidimensional travel and all that shit, which would still require some resemblance of a space program or a way to launch from space/land rather than risk the planet by tearing a hole through space and time. *queue theremin*
besides that the other short term option for taking advantage of surface area on earth that the likelihood of having to go to war to acquire it would be underwater. at least in my opinion
geothermal power from underwater vents
Governments care more about their surrounding islands than you might think.
For example, you couldn't attack anywhere in the South Pacific without New Zealand retaliating, assuming that military operations in its surrounding islands aren't just for show.
...
Back when I was 12 and a faggot I did. You can't own your own Island anymore what do you think this is goodwill or some shit? The governments of the world won't even let scientist have their own why would you think that they would all let a fuck wit like you own one?
You know ANZAC stands for Australia & New Zealand Army Corps
Fuck with New Zealand and we'll be fucking with Australia, No thanks, Fuck that noise
its not very self sustaining once you consider maintenance and parts.
what are you gonna do sail to another country and raid them for ship parts?
yar har
ITT: pussies
The whole OP's idea is to get crew, ship and CLAIM a land, defend it later as other autists join adter our success. Not that hard. In america we buy guns or other shit (or somalia) and we defend our new land, like fucking Cpt Flint did.
It's a pirate's life for me
i get what you are trying to say, but honestly man this they really do, and people misconstrue sovereignty to mean you are just free, but it really means you are only a free nation if you can defend yourself against any attacking force that wishes to say you aren't or want to take what you have, if you are unable to do that, you are unrecognized by the united nations as well as the world as a sovereign nation...So i hope you have the money for warships, heavy artillery, anti air, and advanced firearms in order to help protect a small population on an island.
Now not to say there aren't a few RARE places where you could establish a settlement with little to no resistance but i honestly think you aren't gonna find any in the world today without some major connections.
Not to mention the resources.
If you won't just be bombed into oblivion, you'll likely have to face a trade embargo.
If you can't grow your own food and make your own ammo and everything else required, you'll likely be starved out before being charged with invading whatever nation's soil it is.
You eat plenty of pineapples to make your cum sweeter?
Asking for a friend.
you persuaded me
YAR HAR ME M8ES WE SLITTIN THEIR THROATS AND THROATIN THEIR SLUTS!
YAR HAR!
Anyone got a picture of a trap-pirate?
Friend is asking, need that to confirm if he joins the band.
Have you ever been pepper sprayed for dropping that line?
Why are those islands inhabited?
No. But I pepper spared a few people.
ALso once accidentally sprayed myself a little, kek. Wind is glorious.
All you need is good maintenance, and knowledge of which parts are liable to fail.
Anything to do with liquid (pumps, water storage) is likely to develop issues no matter how good your maintenance is.
Anything to do with power is extremely reliable if you know what you're doing, but pretty much guaranteed to fail if you don't.
Engines should run basically forever if they're built correctly and not overexerted.
Wooden hulls last forever, but are harder to repair and can rot if neglected.
Metal hulls are strong, but require maintenance if made of steel, and that takes good knowledge of welding as well as welding equipment that works underwater.
You could always construct an island.
I've noticed that sea life will eagerly develop on anything in the water.
Someone left a bit of fishing line in the water, literally just a narrow string of plastic, and it's coated in seaweed.
Wooden hull with brass. The top tier.
yeah i didn't even want to get into that or the difficulty of establishing infrastructure, fighting off inside rebellions and disagreements, etc etc etc. I mean outside of just getting bombed out of the waters on the way there, the list just goes on with barriers in the way you would have to prepare for.
You mean a brass outer hull?
It's pretty expensive, you'd be paying many times more than you would for a steel hull.
I don't know enough to know if there are any durability advantages to a brass-plated wooden hull; obviously, the wood means that if the metal corrodes there's still wood to get through, but is brass better than steel/aluminium?
>pepper spared
Brass? In seawater? Shit son that's a nightmare waiting to happen.
There have been a TON of these types of threads, some quite serious and yet none to my knowledge have ever been successful.
If you actually want to get this off the ground for real, you have to find out why the previous efforts failed and what you can do to make your effort succeed.
Without digging into these reasons, the whole thing is likely go nowhere. How do you plan to address this?
It should be sprayed you frogfag. You banned from our ship.
Yeah, brass is highly corrosion resistant asnd "soft". It does not crack.
OP you can get used battleships from the US govt for pennies on the dollar
was that a reference to the South Park episode?
Wonder what happens when they realize we already killed and raped all the natives and we're the only ones left on it.
Rhymes with nuke...
>There have been a TON of these types of threads, some quite serious and yet none to my knowledge have ever been successful
Haven;t seen any similar threads. Source or pics?
O captain my captain
There were so many at one point, I didn't even bother to keep the information. One guy wanted to buy an island like you, another wanted to buy land up in Maine, yet another had a pretty detailed plan of an off-grid settlement, it went on and on.
I'd monitor /out/ a bit, that's where I've seen at least half of them.
bro its all good i know it was sprayed, it just brought a funny image to mind
chill faggot
Usually all fall down on the fact that so much money, and so many skilled personnel, resources, tools etc. are needed that it quickly becomes unfeasible to do unless already life or death.
Not to mention that almost every land mass is under the protection of one nation or another meaning that taking it over will be classed as an invasion and fought against with military resources.
shhh
No hurricanes in sweden. . .just blizzards and shit
Spoken like a true do nothing neet.
I'm not getting into the costs because I know others already have.
I'll skim the thread and make fun of you more at the end.
I love how the one feasible idea goes unnoticed because shitpost.
>retards say retarded things seriously
That doesn't make it any less retarded
Link it then Sir Skelington
I'd be very surprised if it isn't equally flawed
Which one's feasible?
definitely. if you ever played assassins creed 3 where you could develop a homestead that was self sufficient with every member providing something to the existence/longevity of the homestead. that's my dream user. to live on a close knit homestead that is completely self sufficient. and to have a shit ton of kids
It's gonna be some retarded thing he said an hour ago that he thought was clever but actually wasnt
you never answered the question of how do you acquire those parts? that was the main point, not what parts will fail.
Engines should, but they don't, gaskets, valves, rods, metal shavings mixing in the oil, the maintenance would be daily/and weekly to keep it going indefinitely, and that again begs the question of where do you get the parts needed.
Also it would most likely have to be a warship to protect during the formative years, so once again, when the stockpile of 10 heavy artillery shells runs out, how do we get more?
Constructed islands are a weak foundation, do you want our nation to have a weak spine? is that how you see our great country? as some weak thing that could easy be taken down from beneath, no roots, no foundation, no stable ground to call home and protect us?!?! heresy
Most likely.
Only other idea I recall seeing is something about buying a ship from the US gov for cheap, ignoring completely what 'cheap' means to a boat/yacht/ship owner.
