Calling all freedom-lovers, redpilled preppers, libertarians & voluntaryists…
You don't have enough money to invest in land… or you do, but you don't want to put such a big portion of your savings into real estate.
You don't have good credit for a mortgage… or maybe you do, but the banks are such evil scammers, the thought of a mortgage makes you nauseous. Or you're afraid that if you do buy land, it'll be confiscated by the government…
You're not sure where you want to live permanently - and a land purchase ties you down. You're a digital nomad, and you don't want to commit to one place. You don't want to be alone in the middle of nowhere …or worse, surrounded by neighbors who snitch on you, just for living your life.
You don't even want to live a rural lifestyle… you just need a bug-out plan in case SHTF.
You don't know how to vet land… you don't even know what to look for …or you just don't have the time to drive around the country, shopping for land.
You've already tried looking for land, but there's always something wrong… maybe it's so undeveloped, there isn't even a road into the property… or, it's too accessible to the road and neighbors, so if the SHTF, it won't offer any protection or privacy… Or, you're struggling to find land with reliable off-grid water.
Or…you're just completely overwhelmed and you don't know where to start.
We designed Voluntaria's Safe Harbor Membership to give you the assurance of a safe place to go, when the SHTF. Without the expense or stress of buying land - or trying to do it all on your own.
Let's just get it done…
This project has been in existence since the craziness of 2020 happened.
Chuck and Santori co-founded Voluntaria with a couple friends. The others turned out to not be in alignment with where the project was going when I showed up and bought them out. Before I came on board, the crew spent months looking at dozens of properties before settling on this 52 acre paradise. You can ask them it's not an easy task to find the plot of land that ticks all the boxes and has a great vibe.
Finally the perfect location. Off-grid drinking water (2 wells), great soil quality (former organic fern farm), perfect climate…and strategic location. Finally the search was over and the deal got done in 2021.
But then as the project progressed a mere months after the property was acquired, their worst fears were realized. Just as they were ready to launch the community…it became apparent to all that 2 of the partners were not a fit. They wanted out and Chuck and Santori wanted them out. They owned a 1/3 of the property and it's hard to sell 1/3 of a property. So they put the whole thing on the market and figured the dream of a freedom based community was more than they could pull off. The land is huge - 52 acres. Chuck and Santori couldn't pull it off on their own especially with the property not producing any income. It was a big time and money suck for a dream that sputtered and failed to launch.
This is where I entered the picture. I have known Chuck for years and we have very similar takes on how we feel about freedom. The 3 of us got together and talked about what went wrong and how to keep it from not going wrong again. We worked out a deal and I bought out the other 2 founding members and brought new life to the project. I had been working on a concept based on my experience living in community and my love for freedom and when the 3 of us came together it all just felt right. Merging what they had and what I had, Voluntaria was born!
But I knew that with the current state of the world, we all need a safe haven for if/when the SHTF. In the end I sold my house bought out the previous partners and went all in on this project. It was a big stretch for me…but it just all felt right. I had the guys we had the property the 3 of us have great ideas…all the ingredients were there we just had to do it.
That was the biggest hurdle, but it wasn't the only one. Thecommunity house and well were seriously run down.
The well had MAJOR problems. We had to redo EVERYTHING - the accumulation tank, the electrical, the water filter, and all the PVC piping. The well took us weeks and thousands of dollars to fix and more time than I care to count.
You don't have to do any of it… …We've got you covered.
Voluntaria's Safe Harbor is an affordable membership that gives you access to a safe bugout location and community, when/if the SHTF. Just like you have a home insurance policy in case there's a fire - we're here for in case of a crisis.*and we've read the book (Creating a Life Together) that talks about how 90+% of communities fail within the first 5 years and how to avoid the common mistakes.
Voluntaria is a new project, but we are not new in this space. One of our founders lived in an intentional community in California for 2 years, from 2013 to 2015. We saw firsthand what works - and perhaps more importantly what doesn't. We're excited to take those insights and apply them to Voluntaria. Some of us have lived through versions of communal failure. Pulling from all our experiences and all the proactive research we have done, we are well positioned to create a thriving community.
We believe it all comes down to clear communication, common values, individual rights…and cutting out the bullsh*t. This is NOT a hippie commune where you'll own nothing and be happy…and we sing nightly next to a campfire (although depending on who is here and if someone can play guitar, this might happen from time to time). This is an American country village, where we honor the same principles that created our country, valuing individual sovereignty above the collective.
We understand what it's like…
To be shunned, yelled at and mocked…
To be accused of “killing grandma” or “spreading misinformation”…
To lose our closest friends and family…
Maybe some of us even had to leave our partners…or were left.
And since 2020 - or maybe even before - we've felt alone. Because now, when we meet the average person on the street, we wonder if they're the type of person that would have yelled in our faces or called the cops on us for not wearing a mask or wanted to force inject us so we too could participate in a medical experiment.
Your Safe Harbor membership isn't just about a piece of land. It's about a community of like-minded, freedom-loving, unvaxxed people.
Even if you never need to bugout…you can still connect with our community of like-minded freedom loving preppers.
Everyone who joins the Voluntaria SHM program is like you. We're all people who are concerned about the future, and care enough to do something about it. We're all willing to invest in emergency preparedness.
So if you're looking for community - join us on a group call. Create friends and allies with the people who are taking action, just like you.
It doesn't need to take you years, like it did for us. And there's a reason why we say “next week” and not “today”. That because the most important part of Voluntaria is that our community has a common set of values.
So, we'll do a phone call with you first. Because, if you're a social justice warrior who “identifies as a cat”…nothing personal it just won't be a good fit.
Once you assure us that we're all on the same page, you can just resolve payment, and your membership is secured for 1 year!
You'll finally have a bugout location, all figured out in the event of the next crisis. So no matter what happens - you'll have a safe, secure place to go.
Your water source is the most essential element of survival. Any solid emergency preparedness plan includes a source of fresh water, and at least one back-up source.
At Voluntaria, we've got you covered with multiple redundant, off-grid sources of fresh drinking water:
No need to worry about the well pumps breaking when you need them - the pumps are quite new and are estimated to last another 15 - 18 years.
We have plenty of water on the property.
We have plenty of water on the property ;-)
We've spotted all sorts of game animals on the property, including:
While everyone else is eating bugs and Bill Gates' fake meat, you'll be eating fresh, wild meat and fish that you've caught yourself. Unless you are a vegetarian/vegan and in that case we have excellent laboratory tested, chemical free soil where we have grown potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables.
At Voluntaria, we're grateful for the natural abundance of fish and game. But we also understand the importance of planning ahead, especially when it comes to food security. Until everyone arrives and gets hands-on with fishing, hunting, and gathering, it's tough to predict exactly how successful we'll be.
The last thing any of us wants in a time of need is to gather together and face a shortage of food.
To avoid this, we’re fully committed to ensuring there’s plenty of food storage, in addition to what we gather ourselves. We’re prioritizing a solid food supply so that no matter what, everyone here has what they need.
Ideally, you're already prepared and have your own stockpile of food. If a major crisis hits and you decide to join us, we encourage you to bring any supplies you've stored.
That said, we recognize that might not always be possible. Circumstances beyond your control—such as natural disasters or other threats—might prevent you from bringing your supplies. Or perhaps, despite your own preparedness, other members arrive without any food. The last thing we want is for anyone to feel vulnerable or worried about their food supply once they're here.
Maybe you're escaping fire or direct energy attack, and your home and food stores are destroyed.
Or maybe you've prepped properly, but other Voluntaria members arrive without any food. The last thing we want is for you to arrive expecting safety…only to have desperate people begging or even threatening you, for your food.
That's a recipe for disaster that we plan to avoid.
That's why we're stocking a three month supply of survival food for every Voluntaria member.
We'll order this food straight from My Patriot Supply, and store it for you on-site. This way, it's guaranteed to be here when it's needed. So, even if you or your neighbors arrive at Voluntaria with nothing but the clothes on their back - we'll have enough food for everyone.
And if you ever want to cancel your Voluntaria membership, that food is yours - you're welcome to come and pick it up, or we can help you ship it to you or we can try to arrange to connect you with an incoming party who can buy it from you.
When your survival - and your family's survival - is on the line, you need to be absolutely sure that you have enough fuel and the proper shelter to survive the elements.
Because Mother Nature is unforgiving, you can't leave room for mistakes.
You'll love the temperate climate of our location in Crescent City, Florida. The weather is gentle here year-round - so even in the event of power or fuel shortage, it's not hard to survive. Voluntaria is located about an hours drive west of Palm Coast FL. The beauty of being this far inland is hurricanes don't traverse over land well so although we do get storms it's nothing like what happens at the coast. So with respect to hurricanes we are in a great spot.
In fact, most of the time you'll be quite comfortable - even without climate control… …year-round!
At the coldest end of the spectrum:
At the hottest end of the spectrum:
We're not a fan of any government, but Florida's government has been one of the freest, least insane governments in the entire country.
Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, was one of the first to end COVID lockdowns (not that lockdowns were EVER acceptable in the first place…but that's why you need a bugout plan instead of just moving to Florida).
Florida also allows concealed carry without a permit. So, when/if the SHTF, you'll be able to bring your guns and carry them, legally - without needing to scramble and ask permission.
We even have plans to create a shooting range as to encourage everyone to sharpen or acquire gun skills and knowledge.
Florida also strongly supports property rights and self-defense - even encouraging homeowners to shoot burglars. With these types of laws and culture, Florida is extremely unattractive to looters during a crisis.
If any state government is going to leave you alone when/if the SHTF…it's probably going to be Florida!
The average local is a fairly like-minded non-leftist who dislike the tyranny of government!
The land is shaped in a massive square, so there's plenty of privacy from onlookers
The 2-lane road that goes through the nearby small town is over 500 meters away from the property, offering plenty of privacy.
The main road isn't even a major road - it's a simple 2-lane country road with no shoulder and a 55-35 mph speed limit going through town.
We're easily accessible within a 1.5-hour drive from major urban centers like St. Augustine, Orlando, and Jacksonville
You'll be close enough to major centers that you can access whatever is needed
You'll be far enough from the cities that there's low risk of rioting or looting affecting you or your family
...for having a birthday party, gardening, or whatever they try to make illegal next. At Voluntaria, you're safe from intrusive neighbors and unnecessary interference.
We have cell and internet connectivity, so you can still phone home during the crisis. We're remote but not too remote. Cell phones work well out here, and we have available a stable, recently upgraded fiber internet service.
Unless there's an EMP strike or a massive internet outage, you'll stay connected. When the SHTF, you can call your family and friends or post updates like “Marked safe from the latest government shenanigans”.
Your Voluntaria Safe Harbor Membership grants you a stay of up to 3 months on our 52-acre property when/if the SHTF. Whether it's a local threat or a nationwide crisis, Voluntaria is here for you.
Your membership includes:
You'll also have shared access to:
And remember, you won't be alone. You'll join a pre-vetted community of like-minded preppers and freedom lovers, ready to help and support you through whatever comes our way.
We're developing the property into a fully equipped off-grid sanctuary… and YOU get to help decide what we upgrade next.
Our current infrastructure is basic, boondocks, emergency camping. This is a budget bugout solution for an emergency SHTF situation.
If the Sh!t were to hit the fan right now, we have the essentials of survival - food, water, shelter, community, and a safe place to go. But we don't have conveniences like water hookups direct to each plot.
We're reinvesting 25% of membership revenue into Voluntaria upgrades. Buying & maintaining 52 acres of land was & is a massive expense for the three ofus.
As we sell memberships, our members - will drive the decision-making on what we build / upgrade next.
…or something else? This is a community-driven project, a community by the people for the people!…and the sky is the limit.
The sooner you join Voluntaria, the more say you'll have on what we build next. When you're one of just a handful of members, you'll have maximum input, because you won't be competing with other members' priorities. We can give maximum attention to the projects that are most important to the group.
You've had a rough 4 years, navigating the collapse of Western civilization. So, enjoy a country vacation - on us.
You've been under massive stress these last 4 years. The lockdowns, your friends calling you a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, the financial stress, and the constant psychological torture. You need a vacation!
As part of your membership, we're inviting you to enjoy a week stay at Voluntaria. Bring your RV, stay at the property, help us with a project, and use our community kitchen. Brainstorm with us on what to do next and how to do it. Perhaps you have some skills in a certain area that you would like to contribute? We are open to anything that is a win-win and helps us move the project forward.
For your 3 weeks annual stay, bring your trailer, car camp, or if you don't have an RV, there is a small hotel about a 5-minute drive away.
Imagine… waking up to the serene beauty of the forest and meadows. You take a peaceful morning walk, breathing in the crisp, fresh air. With your family, you might spot turtles by the tranquil pond or enjoy a game of fetch with your dog in the spacious meadows. For a gentle adventure, you could visit nearby Crescent Lake for some relaxing fishing or borrow our kayaks to explore the calm waters. As evening falls, gather around a warm campfire with your loved ones, roasting marshmallows and reflecting on the day's simple joys, following a communal meal prepared together.
First, choose your Voluntaria Safe Harbor Membership length. Your membership gets you a spot for your RV or tiny house at Voluntaria.
Talk to Us About Joining VoluntariaRight now, we're offering a basic boondocks solution at basic economy prices. As we raise money from membership sales, we'll be upgrading the property infrastructure. More solar power? A chicken coop? Greenhouses? We'll build out whatever our members prioritize.
Once we sell 25 annual memberships, we'll reinvest $10,000 into the property - and naturally, we'll increase the price to reflect those upgrades. Our pricing will increase once we sell 25 memberships, and it will only go up from there.
But our founding members will enjoy all infrastructure upgrades at current prices – locked in for 3 years. We don't know how long it will take to reach, but we're excited about Voluntaria and think the rest of the world will be too. We're getting booked on a number of podcasts talking about our unique offering, so we don't think it will be long before we are sold out.
We suggest locking in your price before we hit hyper-inflation. Depending on inflation and how fast the global economy devalues the dollar, we might need to raise prices substantially just to keep pace. But our members will lock in the price for 3 years, so even though our currency isn't stable, your bug-out plan is!
Your peace of mind is our top priority. We're confident you'll love your Voluntaria Safe Harbor Membership, but we want you to feel completely at ease.
That's why we offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee. If you change your mind for any reason, we'll refund your membership (pro-rated) and resell unused food supply to the next member.
Lock in today's prices with confidence. You'll have a full month to experience Voluntaria risk-free – that's unheard of in the insurance world!
We're preppers and freedom enthusiasts just like you, committed to ensuring everyone at Voluntaria is here voluntarily. ;-)
