In a SHTF situation many necessities and conveniences may be partial, sporadic, or unavailable. Things like water, sewage, fire departments, electricity, natural gas, propane, etc.
I’d much rather be “out in the middle of nowhere” than in the middle a hundreds of thousands or millions of people who cannot find water with which to drink, bathe or wash their clothes, fires that cannot be extinguished, stores that cannot function due to no electricity, or no products delivered, no gasoline, etc.
I can’t stand cities as they are now. I cannot imagine living in one once things really start to break down.
You need to read my post a bit closer.
When TSHTF, living in a modern city will by impossible. Dying (horribly) will be very easy.
The ocean is a marvelous thing. You can bathe in it, wash clothes in it and always find food in it. You can’t drink it but you can if you have have a desalination system. It’s also nice to be somewhere that you can’t freeze to death. You might get hot in the summer but you can always cool off in the ocean and find a spot in the shade. Plus it’s warn enough to grow vegetable and fruits year round. I’ll take warm over bitter cold any day of the week.
