I know many folks don't like it when someone creates a thread using a Youtube video as the source, and doesn't give a synopsis about what it's about, but I wanted to post this one because I think it speaks to the times we now live in.
Long and short, he says that when evil takes over, rural living is not much safer then living in the city and he lays out the reasons why. It's a good listen if you got the time. Share your thoughts.
Thanks all.
I'm sure we have meth labs around, but I'm equally sure they work hard to keep a low profile. This area is bristling with weapons, and babies often come new from the hospital wrapped in their first camo pattern.
We don't have "porch pirates" and, like the posting above, for short runs into town I don't even bother to lock the door.
If things get tough this place instantly becomes a fortress, with steel doors, walls that are 3 bricks thick, and plenty of security cameras.
If they run out of food, they must have run out of gas and diesel. They ain’t driving to my rural home out in the Alabama sticks when the fuel pumps stop.
The Starving Urban Hordes will devastate the suburbs and places within walking distance. For those of us who live far, far from the big cities—many days of all day walking—we don’t have to worry about them.
Uh...Why would that be more dangerous than your door being kicked down in a big city??
Most are not suited to become mountain men. 🤣
But the main disadvantage of being too rural is you also become too vulnerable, and if an accident were to happen, it would a long time before help arrived, if ever. I live in a rural setting that is five minutes from a small town that offers stores etc. close by, with a bigger town about 15 miles away. The smallest land mass are about 5 acre plots. with many of them 10 acres or more.
Big dogs are your best friend.
We actually had a daytime robbery in our very rural home years ago while we were both at work.
The perp was greeted by our chow chow and lasted less than a minute inside the premises.
Our dog used them as a chew toy.
(Chow chows don’t bark—they just bite. By the time the perp figured out they were there it was too late. They were arrested within days.)
The pleasant sounds of police helicopters use to put me to sleep...I’d wake up in the morning to the sound of sirens...I just pretended they were exotic birds singing during mating rituals.
To a certain point.I DOUBT EVEN THEY KNEW I WAS ARMED.
But once they found out, someone would assume you must have something worth defending and get curious.
“Rural living is GREAT till someone kicks in your door.”
If the German Shepherds don’t get them, the 12 guage with 00 buckshot will.
They would have a hard time getting close to the house without the dogs barking.
Besides, it would take a lot of kicking to knock down my front door. Especially if I knew to beware of trouble. It’s all steel with no windows. They couldn’t ram it with a vehicle due to the cement front porch and steps.
With the driveway alarm about a quarter mile down my lane, and a dead end road a mile long leading to my house, they might walk in, but would be lucky to crawl out.
It is rare that I see any non-whites in my area but Montana is a big place and there are liberal enclaves where this could happen.
That's a big ranch. For me that is too rural, when it's 18 miles just leave your property. 🤣
Now if it is only a mile to get to a store after leaving your property, then it might be doable I guess. 🙂👍
And when the illegal alien’s started 980,000 leaf blowers in Southern CA everyday, I just imagined them as a gentle wind blowing across fields of flowers.
Curiosity killed the cat.
—Old English saying
Only in the first few seconds. The sound of a firefight will alert the neighbors, who hopefully you’ve cultivated a good relationship with.
After the first few incidents, any “urban looking” people will start getting shot on sight.
I’m not so sure about rural.
You can live in rural area and still live too close to one of those deep blue urban s-holes.
I live in a “city” surrounded by cornfields a good distance from any Democrat urban s-holes.
I haven’t seen a police car on my street in the thirty-five years I lived here although the street is barely a half block long with no through traffic.
Of course I do have my own security which is provided by Smith & Wesson and backed up by some various other gauges of armaments.
One of the best things is we have too few alphabets to have a Gay Pride parade during Gay Pride month.
A handful of alphabets celebrate the month by standing at the corner of a busy intersection holding signs asking passing cars to honk in support.
Kinda funny really, I suspect they just biding time until they can get to more friendly environs.
When they came to my house with the GPS to get a reading for the location for 911 documentation, I met the guy down my driveway about a quarter mile.
He said that he needed a reading by my front door. I told him to go ahead. He came back quickly and said “this is close enough.” He met my dogs and wouldn’t enter the house fencing.
You see you picture "rural" as a lone farmhouse in the middle of no where with a creaking windmill.
However on planet reality rather then in a stupid movie, the "lone farmhouse" is actually a group of five or six houses.
And the road leading to that area will have twenty or thirty houses along the way.
And every single one of those houses will be watching. And they will be talking to each other.
And by the time the Truck of Illegals gets half way there, they are going to be stopped. And asked what their business is.
And when they are stopped there will be at least four rifles trained on them that they can see.
And they are, if they are smart, going to quietly turn around and go back to your apartment.

And for fun, every time we’d hear those deep base boom boxes all the gangsters had in their cars, we just imagined them as distant drums from an enchanted tiki room, a pleasant flower drum song from a south pacific village.
While crawling on my hands and knees pulling tiny weeds out of a grassland. Got it!
It is unusual, but nobody has ever done what I've done over the last 25 years. Our entire social meltdown was designed to remove people from wild landscapes for the expressed purpose of environmental protection. I've proven them catastrophically wrong. Worse, the globalists' idea of environmental protection is causing mass extinctions.
Somebody had to do it, so I got to be "somebody."
The closest it over 1/4 mile away.
