IF ?

[Highlander]

It must be very hard for city dwellers living in a place they feel they have to live in, as opposed to wanting to live in,... there is going to be so many reason why they cant move even if they wanted to,.. from kids in schools, to needing to be close to hospitals for medical reasons,... to say nothing of their work places

I have never lived in a city, only remote areas, but I think I can talk about the subject as I see it, and what we were lucky enough to do

The last place Bracken and I lived was on the Welsh borders, a very rural place, it had been in my family for generations,.. and was just about perfect,.. the trouble was that it was surrounded by not such good areas, if the shit hit the fan it would/could have been hard to get out of our little enclave to a safer place,... because I am sure that the hordes would have arrived from the many built up areas around us.

So being in your perfect spot is not everything, thought has to go into whats around you, and what you would need to do to get through such a barrier

[re-wind a few years ]......Bracken when she had just left school felt the same as many do here now, she lived in Glasgow and wanted out badly, so she got a job working in a hotel in Morar close to Malliag west Highlands,..she got a seasonal job, and ended up staying for years.

So when we wanted out of our Welsh border home,.. we headed north in an old camper, lived out of that until we bought the house we are in now, did we buy the house as a prepper buys a house?,.. put it this way, everything we thought of had a prepers view lingering in there somewhere
