US too Eric! Moved here from Dallas area. Would be much easier to be self sustained. Cast iron stove with lots of wood and a pump on our well that we can bypass and draw by hand. Two ponds full of Bass and whatever we could find on the land, deer, rabbits and turkeys. Then there are the chickens and eggs. Not easy but doable.
I was sworn in as an honorary Texan by Hayden Fry.
(Guess that dates me.)
