If money is no concern, then pack your
house into as many containers you need and come, but if you are
trying to stretch a modest savings, then please, leave most of it
over there. Sell it! Bring cash and replace it. But
there are a few things you will want. Here's a list.
Essentials
- Books- If you value your library and you need
a healthy supply to read, then bring them. Good books are a rare
commodity. Otherwise amazon.com will get all your money.
- Medicine- Since you are new to the
environment, bring your special herbs and tinctures, enough to last until
you can replacements.
- Vehicle- If you have a reliable vehicle, less
than 5 years old, bring that. Preferably a Toyota pick-up.
- Solar flashligts- Power often
goes out and these are basic.
- Medicine- Herbal products are there
but not with the variety available in the outer worlds. Homeopathic
products are almost non-existent.
- Tent- Camping is fun!
- Short wave radios- they come in
handy.
- Tools of your trade- If you make your money
on-line, then you will have a host of gadgets you may want to bring of a
certain quality. Such things are here, but tools of the trade should be
familiar to you. Different brands and most from China. Even
basic farm tools are rarely of the quality that we are accustomed.
- Solar accessories- If you are building,
chances are you will use solar. Bring back-ups or stuff like an inverter or
panels you can get cheaply, but rest assured, solar supplies are here.
- Organic Seeds- NON EXISTENT HERE!
- Miscellaneous- Essentials oils, incense,
crystals and such specialty items are hard to find
Note: It is not advised that you bring appliances and
such, since that will require a container and unnecessary expenses. Those
things are here in abundance. Likewise, furniture.
There is a company that ships barrels to
Ghana from the States. It is $160/barrel (very reasonable and
reliable, though they take longer than the promised 6 weeks). The
