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

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
