I’m out of the city, but we still need to know every rock and tree and bend of the stream because we WILL have to fight marauders FROM the city. There are abandoned strip mines and a myriad of caves up here that will prove very handy in such cases.
we don’t have many caves up here - but we got those long winters - which will discourage a lot of city folk - who will head south - because they don’t know any better...thank goodness ;o)
