then the wild country and distance stops being a positive and becomes a negative if your forced to bug out into it.

we have been here long enough to be "part of the furniture" now, wife has lived in this area for a considerable part of her life and could be called a "local". my family is from North Devon-for many generations. I know most people on this estate, most of them are ok if a bit "straight"", the one or two who might "kick off" are well known and plans already drawn up. however if things did go "pear shaped" and staying is not an option I have SEVERAL BOL's already located and scouted just in case.

oh yes, and people here KNOW to "step lightly" around me !

Yes and furniture becomes old and worn out. To go back to the Lone Wolf and wolf packs. The leaders are always challenged at some point and at some point, as the get older they get replaced.
They loose.
Not saying they get chased and killed but they then die off because they are no longer part of the pack. I just hope your BOL's are not already occupied when you want them.

Nothing is cast in stone.

But as previous, I'll leave you to have the last say.
