I’m less than 20 miles out from three cities of over 100k population, metro population 1.2 million. Acre-plus lots are the norm. Half acre gardens are far from unusual. A tractor? How about a tiller or an attachment to your riding lawnmower, lol? As far as “protection,” not a car comes through here that isn’t noticed, and if it’s not a known one, it’s watched. Most of us are armed, too. This is not rare or exceptional in any way whatsoever. It’s reality for the majority of conservatives, certainly on FR. You live in northern Virginia in the DC reality distortion field, in a flat with no yard from the sound of it, and mistake this for the circumstance of all. Wrong.

Those are what we call “bergs.” Very small. Most Americans don’t live there. 1.2 million are in West Covina, a tiny town near Los Angeles.

OK. Said tiller/lawnmower uses gasoline (and oil), right? What do you do when the gasoline stops?

My bad — may I suggest you look back on this thread? The issue on the table is what happens when it ALL breaks down? Your checking on cars won’t help when me and my zombie biker gang (don’t be overly concerned, if you join we have cookies) armed with munitions from the now-defunct US Military bases take over your 1/2 acre garden.
If you think that scenario is ridiculous, that is my OTHER point.
