¶About the location
* Nearest cities? Public transport to there?
<<Berlin ~150km, Hannover ~100km
* How close are basics ressuplies?
<<small supermarket: 5 minutes, bigger one, 10 minute drive
* What is the current state of the location, programme?
* What is the legal status of the place?
* How is the situation with the neighbours?
* How many people are there currently?
* Can location be checked?
<<If you have the time, you could pass by and check out the location.
* What sort of activities happen around?
* Is postal delivery stable?

¶Hackbase typology on location
* Which base typologies can you imagine are possible to execute there?
Consult 🔗hackbases!
This can be associated with costs.
### merge these in !
* 🔗hackbase-type1
A rented house, connected to the water system, etc.
Also called "rented fluid apartment".
Costs for infrastructure are shared by all on a long-term basis.
* 🔗hackbase-type2
A unit like on the picture, which means letting go of the house - a mostly/completely separated and self-sustained mobile/nomadic unit.
So you have no costs with it, just need access + land.
* 🔗architecture and 🔗hacking-housing-pad

<<We could offer the material and infrastructure that is needed, together with lodging (indoors or outdoors), but we would require some compensation for costs, unless a mutual project is set up, for example.
OK so, the internal has costs (it uses power, space, heat, etc).
The external doesn't, as it's fully autarch - except territory. What would the costs for both be?

This were expenses with the first typology. Total 400€/month
With the second, they could be lower, but I'm keeping them at 400€ to keep investments for experimentation.
Realistically I am going for <200€ with the new typology.
Next step is <100€ when we can grow food.

¶Using land: agriculture
* Can food be grown on the land?
* Is it currently, or was grown? What extent, size?
* Can some resources for experimentation and new ways of agriculture be had?
<<### Well, we actually also started growing food at the premises. So there are many ways to make it work. :)

¶ Limited by outside
* is the location well hidden away from others?
* how big is the location outside?
* what do you think is possible to build without permissions?
* can you do subterranean modification

¶ Limited by property owner
* can we come, leave and access the land freely, and stay as long as we want? is a notification needed?
<<"They would have to notify me of course."
* what other rights would you reserve?
###
* what are the aesthetics limitations? (tents, solar panels, camouflaged storage, etc)
* can tents be put there? for how many people?
* what is the legal status of the place?
* is stable postal address hosting possible (for nomads in known network, without fixed address)?

¶ Primary
* what is the on-site energy potential?
* what is the site agricultural potential?
* is there any type of on-site water possibility?
(rain/sea/fog(rain capture / fog capture)?

* is there any type of on-site water possibility?
¶ Secondary
* is there any stuff / tools you'd like to either share with OR donate to the base?
* what are the permanent storage possibilities? (weather-proof)
* can we use a parking spot temporarily? how about long-term (camper storage)?
* ability to share a car? system? (donation / financial share/ ?)

¶ Delimitation
* do you expect the base to share the stuff with you (even when not present)?
* with respect to base rules (pppd, etc) or separate arrangement?

¶Your interest for hosting
Examples:
* "i just like hackers"
* getting help on land:
a la "workaway"? how to conceptualize / limit?
"can people stay there?"
* sharing regular costs?
* [...]
* Will you be present there yourself? Full time or part time?

¶Initial costs and financing
Initial costs to setup the base (equipment) are ~2k€, for a basic unit for ~5 people.
Also see 🔗base-eu.
:
* Can you assist with loan to base? it is repayed by people spending time there.
* Would you like to help cover it (in any part), as a donation to the base?

¶Regular costs / charges
* Is there any regular costs the base would be expected to help cover?
<<Well, if they camp outside, they could organize themselves. We could agree on a fixed price for water and electricity, but that wouldn't be a lot.
If we can stay on your land for free (we have own power+water), or inside the house for about 5-7€/day, that's what I'm working with currently. (This is still brainstorming)
--If you provide for your own power and water, you can stay on the land for free.
Well that sounds pretty awesome
--When interested in growing food, some help in the garden would be appreciated as well of course.
Yeah, common interest
--indeed
