It is like paradise. Literally. And it is how we feel about it. Every day.
The monthly payments are less than the taxes were on our place in Seattle. The commute is longer, but I drive it at 65-70 mph almost all the way. I still enjoy it.
I've built a few buildings since, and a large garden about 40 feet in front of the house, but here it is a month after we moved and I had completed the rear deck.
I can shoot deer or Turkey out my bedroom window, though the latter is very skittish. We have 22 chickens now that free-range around the house. For fun I hand feed them cracked hickory nuts from our trees. They climb all over me trying to get at them. Evenings are quite often just as beautiful and inviting as the photo suggests. And when the SHTF, it won't be pretty, but we'll survive. Probably.
I highly recommend going Galt. It can be done.
That is the most awesome picture...congrats to you.
If you EVER plan to sell that place, please let me know.
Welcome to the Bluegrass, FRiend!
Beautiful! I love the Bluegrass.
I’m sure many here have read Rawles’ books - Patriots, Survivors, Founders...
the stories contain several bug out scenarios.

Dude, that’s tremendous. Especially in rural KY; used to be in Louisville/Lexington.
What part of KY?
“I highly recommend going Galt. It can be done.”
We have gone Galt, in place. We have a secure location, and we do not plan to ‘escape’...we are where we should be when the SHTF. We are continuing to prep here and to secure the place. We will be ready...
