What have done towards your prep?

I appear to be miles away from them all, the delivery costs are nearly twice the cost of the containers.
and the more I hear about your tools and equipment available to you , the more I look at my own and sulk lol
you need to stop telling me this stuff, or me and about 40 others are likely to come looking for you.

and I don't mean raiders , I meant about 40 other people reading these forums.
it sounds like you got it perfect up there.

like some sort of Zion lol

Believe me, its not all roses up here you know, the thing is with a beautifull location is that you cant eat the scenery.

We are a hours drive from the nearest town with decent food shops...
2 hours drive one way and 2 1/2 hours the other way for shoes or furniture...
An hour from the nearest hospital so no ambulances ,.. forget the `magic hour` for us....
our local fire service is a tractor and trailer,.. with a small engine a few miles away..... we catch fire,.. we burn....
In the winter we have more dark than light, and in the summer we are eaten alive with midges.

all the bad points you mention, I class as good points. except the lack of fire services. that one kind of sucks.
but I bet you all have great respect for fire up there.

as for the long dark winters and the midges in the summer.
I already get those where I am lol.
I might live in a town but were surrounded by fields. in summer the whole town stinks of cow cakes and hoss manure.
there aint many towns were you can get bitten by a horsefly whilst shopping lol.
