What I am meaning is doing projects together. Like the cabin Larry posted about in his earlier post. A group of guys banding together to buy/build a hunting cabin.
This used to extend to equipment in many families. I can remember my Great Uncle owned the square baler an my Grand Dad owned the tractor and wagons. They baled all the hay together.
