I think "country distance" is a BIG plus. It gives you a chance. Living in a built up city becomes hellish. No power, water, stores for weeks. To get anywhere outside, you risk sniper fire. You sleep together in the basement of the big buildings with everybody else, when there is bad combat with artillery, rockets etc. It's just not safe to live exposed to fire in a building, upstairs. A country boy can survive. And fool knows that. I hear ya brother. Where I'm from, "Gang Colors" is Realtree, Advantage, and Mossy Oak. You know what I'm saying hoss. Rule .308.

our family harvested seven deer this past two weeks on this property.

three bucks, four does.

One of the relatives is even working on his skill with a bow and arrow and a muzzleloader. I could never do anything with a bow except lose expensive arrows.

I will conquer my 50 cal hawken this year..

Do any modern antecedents (you mentioned Sarajevo and Beiruit) have the sort of suburban sprawl we have here in the U.S.? We have a lot of situations where one “side” is concentrated in those built up cities, and the other surrounds them geographically in spread-out suburbs. While I’ve never been to either of those places, from my travel in Europe, it’s a very different built environment in general.
