Yes, my house is in a city, we split our time between the farm (weather permitting) and home. We have a laundry room and deep freezer and other assets at home so we visit regularly. Our 'buggout' spot is the farm, where we have unlimited solar powered well water and a very defensible 19 acres with 2 large greenhouses. The plan is to cover the carport roof with solar panels this summer and a tesla will make traveling back and forth a breeze.

I see. But when does the foxhole come into play? What you just now described is your normal way of life, without a pandemic. When you told us to dig foxholes and store ammo, you meant split your time between your house and RV, and a bobcat partnership? No foxholes at your house? That would seem like the 1st place you'd want one.

I have a full basement at home.....we don't live in the best part of town and the city will go to shit quickly in any crisis. I can be on the farm in just over 1 hr on the freeway or 2hrs on back roads. We would prefer to be on the farm when SHTF however we are not fully set up on the farm yet, hopefully by this fall we will be. We would still prob spend winters in town because the farm is very rural and the roads get almost impassable in winter and my wife and i are old and need frequent medical services we cannot get on the farm...

I'll be impressed when you own a Tesla. It's been 4 years since you put your deposit down?

I told you before that I put a deposit on a tesla just prior to buying the farm and had to delay the tesla for a couple years. we just got the farm paid off in Jan and can now proceed with the rest of the plan. Just hold on & you will see the tesla as soon as i take delivery. I could have purchased/leased a used tesla but wanted to pay off the farm first....and now I'm glad I did

Well, if you keep riding that trike and eating oatmeal you'll likely be around longer than you think. And you'll be kicking yourself for liquidating your 401k. Or annoyed you didn't die as you predicted.

My gut tells me to grow a whole bunch of food this year. Ya aint ever gonna catch ol wordz waiting in no damn breadlines that have meals for 3/4 of the crowds. Fuck it maybe I'm paranoid if so I guess I'll just be the kang of the farmers market. Got about 100 potatoes in the ground already. For my comrades! figure should pull out around 300-400 lbs off those. Veg has vegetables for the first time in decades haha!

Me too, im putting in a veggy garden up on the farm for the first time in years and will plant as much as i can handle, to have extra to share. also looking for a new chicken coop for the farm as soon as the snow is gone. just ordered a bunch of seeds and starts from Gurney's Seeds.

I didn't know there was a best part of sac, hehe. I have some clients that own a home in natomas. I like it, but then again I don't have to live there. Still want to make it to the Capitol one day, always too busy working when I'm down there.
