Well done. Our acreage is more modest, but we are unlikely to run out of fuel for our woodstove any time soon. Like you, we also have local well-established Heutterite communities. As non-participation in the Coming Unpleasantness, we recognize that there may not be a choice when the starving and diseased remnants come boiling out of the cities in search of food, shelter and warmth. You’re going to have to harden your heart and cut them down without mercy, as any other alternatives are unthinkable.

Good move. Urban/suburban areas are no place to be, even now. Gangs of feral blacks are already a problem.

We don’t go anywhere unarmed.

Sounds like he’s in Dutchess, Greene, or Ulster Counties. It’s where tons of people move “upstate” to get out of the city. NY is actually quite nice if you could separate from the 5 burrows and chuck the liberal all Democrat government.

That’s right at the top of “best practices.”

I moved from Seattle to a county in south central KY, on 32 acres, 11 years ago. Third best decision I ever made. (First is accepting Jesus’ free gift, second is choosing my wife...)

And not to put too fine a point on it, if I still lived in Seattle, I’d probably be in jail over Covid. We ignored the whole thing here.

We are putting in a small gun range at one end of our property.

Used tomlive in the Puget sound area East side. Left in 1998. If I stayed, I’d probably be in jail for going all John Wick on antifa trash. I also refused the kill shots and the masks.

Ive got a big mound of dirt from the excavation of the ho,e site that’s reserved for a gun range. Another project for the list.

Yeah. I was visiting my daughter’s family out by Sand point way and we were walking down to the “fashionable” area where the old naval base was and had to weed through a bunch of old motorhomes parked on the side of the road where people were living.

I asked her if “you people” ever heard of Molotov cocktails. Fact is, if the police won’t police, SOMEONE has to do it.

But where I am, I don’t have to worry about it - and I stay out of prison.
