Rawles which is the founder of the SurvivalBlog.com (which I follow regularily by RSS and find very usefull) and which is a follower of Mel Tappan which started the trend of survivalist in early 70's (if I'm not wrong)
Please make yourself time and read the novel, Triple Ought, as it is full of insights and ideas how a retreat/organisation should function!
I mean I find a lot of things of high value there, things as one may never thought about, in the first places. Really is so important that I already start to draw MindMaps 
Really is very eye opening for our subject!

Regarding this novel and the things very well highlighted by Northern Boy, related with the issue of owning/no owning the land and of that of TAXES raising are right or wrong, you will se that the people even after passing thru devastating experiences, death, starvation, arson, rapings and beatings, they STILL DON'T GET IT! ONCE AGAIN THEY STARTED TO REINSTATE THE TAXATION AND THE LAND OWNING RIGHTS & STUFF, forgetting that everything they passed thru few years ago, IT WAS JUST BECAUSE OF THAT! Because of greed of some individuals/governments and which do not care only for themselves, thus put billions to great sufferance. Just an example of what short is the memory of people and how difficult is to make peolpe changing their attitude, mentality.
Related with land owning, we are just users, a temporary tenants and it is a very high infatuation to think we own the land. We own nothing; we own to the nature, to the planet. If Terra wants, gets rid immediately of us, as you say 1, 2 ,3 ! No need to make us a proof, a small earthquake is just enough reminder.
