Long Time Prepper

[SoCal92057]

Been to lots of countries and done lots of things. Life is rich and rewarding. I live deep in the woods. My current experience is small town (800+ people) in a way that was scarcely imaginable before I arrived. Lots of freedom, wildlife, guns, almost no crime (could be do to all the guns the people have), dirt roads and nice people who say hello to strangers. Way more turkey, bear, deer, moose and other creatures than people. Sometimes minus 30 degrees in the winter and lots of snow. There is a 3 aisle general store (yes, I said general store) in my town that sells things like milk, bread, beer, ammunition, fishing bait, you get the idea. This is no big and modern supermarket. They also have a penny candy shelf and the store owner takes the time to drop pennies on the floor in front of the penny candy so children will find them and be able to purchase a small treat. Amazing!!! Living the good life. The image is literally looking out my back door. Way off in the distance just beyond the clearing in the middle right of the image, there is a dirt road that is barely discernible. Gives me a good advance warning of possible visitors.

A couple of members liked the location where I live. For me it is just about perfect. I always buy on a hilltop because flooding is such a problem in the low lands and besides, a hilltop is a good defensible position. I generally just like to be left alone to admire the majesty of God's creation which surrounds me here in the mountains. The living is slow and quiet. Often we only get a few cars an hour that pass by during the day and at night there are often none. I ride my small tractor doing chores while the dog chases along. In the winter time the scene is post card perfect but by February, I am usually ready for warm summer temps, but they are still two or three months off. I'm sure you can feel the peace and serenity that I am describing. My residence and barn are a little right of center in the image.

I can't zoom in close enough to see it real good but what I can see is ALL GREEN not over spotted with multiple neighborhoods, highways, buildings, etc. yep that's a piece of Heaven you got there.

No pizza delivery is about the only down side of living remotely. :biglaugh:
