Just because we're townies, doesn't mean we don't have aspirations to be more like tarrel, highlander or yourself etc.
Or that we don't appreciate your advice, even though your are a nagger sometimes...
:
Some, like me just don't have the means to move to the highlands and islands although I dearly would love too.
I'm a country boy and living in a town does my cake in.
Don't get me wrong I have plenty of valid skills to offer such as carpentry, electrical, mechanical etc.. and can turn my hand to anything quick as a flash.
The wife just wont have any of it.
Besides she's a bit religious you see and thinks Jehovas going to save her...
: so she wont stray too far from her "congregation"
Cant stand the stuff (religion) myself poison if you ask me...
And soft touch that I am, I'm not willing to do my daughter who's 5 without a dad just so I can go too a remote place...
Theres a lot in the same boat, stuck, not because we don't hear your preaching N.R. because by god you do a lot of it
Its good sound advice and god help me your growing on me
Sometimes when you have "drag along's " i.e. partners or kids that aren't as willing or interested as we are it's difficult to do what you knows right, i.e. moving to a better place.
What we could do with is a remote prepper with a spot of land.
Who's willing to site some Prepper caravans on it.
We could pay yearly rents to that prepper therefore providing a motive and reason for them to give up some land.
We would all feel better knowing post shtf we had a safe retreat full of like minded people.
Even if we never meet before, we could have say a regular time of year that we could go maybe to meet up and do the kum by ya bit for a bit of prepper bonding etc...
We could then build a prepper community around that and have it as "the " place to go for all of us post shtf.
Any preppers in remote areas with land willing to do that?
Its a long shot but you never know...
I tried to be normal once.... Worst two minutes of my life...
