The Lord hasnt called me to do it so no
If He called you then go...seriously
You might be better off, but then others are meant to grow where they are planted
if you care for what you have already, God will bless you with more
thats why most people stay where they are because Hes already with them
even when times are tough, its often a test or trial and you just need to be patient to overcome
the faithful are like a tree who has deep roots,
see Jeremiah 17:7-8
Im sure if the Lord was truly calling you He will give you words of wisdom or knowlege about it to comfirm it. Not just oh I wanna do this cos I think its a good idea.

In theory I can see the appeal. In practice though is a whole other story. If you have never been in authority over a group of men before, you will find out that it is not so idyllic. Though it is not totally impossible either. Start small I suggest, create a business, rent out a house, live with your tribe, see how it goes and how well you manage. I managed to get up to two locations and 10 men before they started breaking all the rules and the system ripped itself apart.

I was reading the 'one straw' revolution
but its a Japanese book and the author was espousing Buddhist principles, though basically hed been doing it for 30 years on not very much land, because Japan does not have much arable land pn being self sufficient and people go visit him and learn the kind of farming that is regenerative and they do not need much money, machinery, or any chemical pesticides, fertilisers at all because the practice is to grow rice and then use the straw as mulch on the field, with some manure, and sow into that without ever tilling the soil.
however that lifestyle it is labour intensive during the seasons of harvesting. They need to fetch water and cut wood. Would you be up for that?
Its not for the lazy. Its for those who find joy in being close to nature and loving according to the seasons. If you the kind of person who doesnt like getting their hands dirty or lifting things or wants everyone else to do those things without lifting a finger yourself, its gonna die a nasty death

see God doesnt work the way men do or see it from our perspective. When God called the israelites out of Egypt, He was showing them the Promised Land. He needed them to look after it because the cannanites had pretty much ravaged it with their sexual immorality.
in modern day Israel people had set up kibbutzes. But actually now those kibbutzes have gone bust and thy are not what they used to be, because man had taken over and tried to make a profit from them rather than Gods intention to make the desert bloom.
