Well I still have country living on the brain after our recent trip to our BOL and soon to be primary residence in Arkansas. I have also gotten a tremendous number of requests lately to evaluate property listings as potential BOLs, retreats and homesteads. It is honestly almost impossible to really know a property from just a listing, they are simply starting points. So I decided to do this show with some general things to consider when making such a personal decision such as purchasing land or a home.
Tune is Today as I Discuss…
- Remote is a relative term
- Water, got it, don’t got it, what’s it gonna cost
- The advantages of unimproved and unincorporated land
- Service from a government comes at a cost, which is more valuable to you freedom or “services”
- Who is going with you, you can’t be happy if your family is miserable
- Gates, the simple solution to BS excuses like “I was lost, not trespassing”
- The value of good neighbors
- Talk to neighbors BEFORE you buy
- Pick a community you fit into, don’t try to change one

OK folks I am back from the Arkansas Bug Out Location from our mini vacation. It was great as always and Dorothy and I really had a great opportunity to learn, think and plan for our very near future. So today I thought I would share what we experienced with you.
Additionally the house keeping segment was a bit long today but for two reasons.
1. I wanted to give you a bit more data on the Members Support Brigade. Specificly some of the benefits which now include…
- Several e-publications by James T. Stevens
- 10% off of everything at Ron Hoods site
- A free lifetime membership to Safe Castle’s discount club
- 10% off all purchases from Western Botanicals
- Premium videos available only to members
2. I wanted to let you know that James Stevens new book, “Making the Best of Basics” is available until midnight tonight at the pre launch price of only 29.95 with a free audio CD. At midnight the price goes up 5 bucks and no more free CD. This offer expired last night but since I was late letting everyone know and yesterday’s show was pre recorded I talked to James and got a 1 day extension. Please note this is not a “marketing tactic”, I just wanted to get you guys one last chance to get the free CD and lower price if you are interested in a copy of the book. You can get thhe book at this link - Making the Best of Basics
The main topic of today’s show is the advantages of country living so tune in today to hear my thoughts on…
- In the country you are surrounded by teachers
- The “freedom to walk” and what that really means
- How people are different and the same
- Why in the country words like silence and noise have new meanings
- Why we seem to be naturally content with less stuff in the country vs the city
- Why we feel less exposed to danger in rural life
- How recreational activities like shooting don’t attract the police
- Improvements in mental and physical health when you live in the country
- Why country living isn’t for everyone and how some people
- How all of these things are actually directly tied to prepping and self suffiency
- Why preppers value their lives more then the average Joe
- Why most people just don’t understand the quest for self suffiency

After being preempted by the weather yesterday we are doing today’s show on listener questions. Tune in today as we answer questions about surplus firearms, buying land, keeping and investing in silver, potential bank runs, alcohol as a gas and more.
Today I also tell you about an article I read on Lew Rockwell about coming food shortages and why food producing land will be one of the most valuable commodities in the coming future. The article is aptly titled “Food Will Never Be So Cheap Again“.
