Extensive stretches of "uninhabited" land, from grasslands to forests. People cluelessly wander around on private property because they don't have the brains to read a sign or understand the meaning of a fence.Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14140623578850103445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802006813289031432.post-42456743105969919072013-08-29T18:40:55.971-07:002013-08-29T18:40:55.971-07:00I enjoyed your article.

Ironically, this has actually been a conversation between my family and I for several months running. <br /><br />My dad wants me to move away from the East Coast. He worries about the big cities, DC, and the bases being too close. Government at the back door.<br /><br />One of my sons says I should think of going back to Alaska. (We lived in a remote village for 2 1/2 years until my contract was up. 3 hours from Anchorage by plane only. 40 below in winter and moose stew on the wood stove. Loved it!!!) <br /><br />My other son says I should move closer to the military bases for my protection. (Both my sons are in the military.) <br /><br />The whole time, I am arguing that bugging in would be best since everyone else will be bugging out. (Plus, no one looking at me ever thinks automatically that I was in the Marines, that I can defend myself, or that by having worked in an Alternative middle school for the past 8 years I have gained a great insight into the inner city mindset of the "it wasn't my fault" crowd.) <br /><br />I believe that hiding in plain sight may be the better option since everyone will be heading into the mountains. If you ask anyone, even people who are not prepping, they all say they will head for the mountains for hunting and fishing - even if they have never hunted or fished a day in their lives!!! I always say I will be all by myself out by the tobacco fields when everyone bugs out! Who would think to look for a prepared person here? All you can see for miles is tobacco, soy, and squash plants surrounded by forests. <br /><br />Plus, I agree that you will be swamped with rude, offensive, unprepared people who will think you will share because they said so. Hopefully, your first winter will take care of your pest problem!!
