Reply #16: We do [View All]

though our small town is growing into suburbia, we're about twenty minutes from a small town/city, and when things get rough we have somewhere to fall back on.
My wife's ancestoral farm is still in their family and is a place of refuge when and if everything collapses. There is game there, ponds, and two rivers within minutes, room to grow what ever we need, plenty of wood for heat and building.
The Burlington railroad tracks are not far away and there is an abundance of hemp growing beside them to us for fiber.
Even if things hold together I'd much rather be living here, our doors are left unlocked, the key is always in the ignition of my car (mainly because the lock is messed up and it's easier to leave the key in it), but, I don't have to worry about it.
