Grew up in the country and hated it as a child. Got grown, moved to the city and soon learned how to appreciate the country, so yes I can live out there with all those fresh delicious blueberries 🫐 😋.
I can completely relate. I grew up in Lambertville, NJ. It was such a wonderful town until they decided they wanted to turn it into a tourist town like New Hope. Now I'm in a small town in PA because there was nothing here but a small strip mall (grocery, laundry, pizza, DMV) and a Wawa and gas down the road. Now they put a Weis in drove local grocery out. Laundry mat was sold which is horrible because now I have to drive. But, they just put in a new medical center and building townhomes which are so overpriced. Someone put in a yuppie bar. But NOW they took an old building and put in all these overpriced shops that sell garbage nobody needs and $4 donuts and I immediately said 'oh here we go.' And we already have a traffic issue and those new townhomes are only 10% occupied (rest aren't finished.) I started thinking I'm moving. I moved here BECAUSE there was nothing here! I worked in New Hope for ten years in the restaurant industry Bec of the money and it was always hard getting a parking spot or just getting there. I don't want to deal with it again. They charge locality tax here (resident income tax). I see this as nothing more than one big scheme to try to get more tax revenue (roads haven't been fixed in over a decade.) Corruption. They are selling "townhomes" for 400 k that are nothing more than small apartments. Yet, idiots are buying them. I am planning on moving out of this State all together.
It's a shame. Not far from here local farms sold most of their property to Amazon. They are putting these giant shipping centers all over too. Empty strip centers everywhere. Those stack and pack housing. They look ridiculous. Overpriced coffee too. 6 bucks and more. Where are you looking at moving to?
Going camping on the Back 100 acres tonight. Got lost on the way back! I’m a city boy. I love living in real raw nature. A snake fell on my partner last night. Sadly no video! We don’t have enough hot water or power, getting any workers to do anything is near impossible, but I love it. A year this August. Internet is spotty. Big deal. I hear the wind in the trees and the birds all the time. Throwing garbage down the hill was interesting for me when I moved. A village is a small town but no post office. A hamlet is a small village where everyone is a cousin 😹
Thank you. We live similarly 1.5 miles from a small village - Village of Capron. Northern Illinois. There is lots to do. We grow a big garden, chickens. ducks and geese, bike riding, walking, board games, art projects. We heat with wood although we do have a newer furnace and air conditioner. You make your life what it is. We don't have premium TV. About 1.5 yrs ago I shut off direct TV. They are ridiculous. It was $112 a month, sometimes we never turned it on for the whole month. We do have fairly reliable internet and a generator if there is a serious power outage. For one night, we don't get the generator out. They generally get it on pretty fast. We have been here 23 yrs. No street lights, 18 miles 1 way to grocery shopping. I combine trips to kill 2 birds with one stone. I must say, I moved out to the country in increments. Further and further as things built up.So it didn't seem as though there was that much of an adjustment. You're right, there is a large percentage who would not like it but I like to think their is a large percentage that would appreciate the peace. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Sounds like your pretty well set up. How many acres do you have? My wife wants ducks and geese too. I think it's just too much right now. We have a garden that didn't too well for 2 years. Lol. We're the same with TV. Got rid of cable a few years ago. Then had Dish tv. That's gone too. Other than internet we have Roku tvs. Don't subscribe to anything. All the channels are free. Used to pay $300 for cable years ago. With the HBO Cinemax and all the extras. It was a million chanel's with nothing on. Lol Like you we moved out here to get away from the chaos but it's getting time to move out further. We're new to chickens, can't wait for them to lay the first eggs.
I wonder if anyone ever saw the Indeed advertisements for UN jobs. A few years ago I did see multiple advertisements on indeed for people to move to Italy, France and many places. These jobs included full funding for the move and it entailed running for government at a local level. Mmm wonder why that is a UN need. Might answer why all our great areas turn in to urban yuck.
I live in a rural area in Florida. I like it that way as well. We drive 25 minutes to the nearest grocery stores and that is fine. I definitely would not want a WalMart or McDonalds to move in. Crime is much lower here and there is absolutely nothing to do. We keep our children entertained and bring them into town once a week. We are fortunate enough to have good internet, but it has not always been that way. We just upgraded the internet in the past 6 months. This has given me the opportunity to work from home. No more fighting traffic for 3 hours a day. It is a perfect balance for us.
I am always amazed by one of those stories that pops up about someone out West being lost in the "wilderness" for 2 or 3 days and miraculously surviving... The early settlers of this country called it home
*Sounds like the perfect location for farming flowering weeds. I heard it can be very profitable with mind blowing aroma's during harvest season. sure hope you claim your 10% discount on the diggity dogs for being a local? You have it made in the shade - peace n quiet*
Peace and quiet. Lol. Damn rooster from next door crows under my window every day. Lol. Just now I got woke up like every night by my son in law. He gets home from work at 2am. Then I wake up from his damn computer games. He plays then and the subwoofer I guess rattles the floor. Does it every night. Keep telling him other people live here too. But he don't listen. He's 51 and still plays video games. Ugh.
This seems perfect! I just get sad for your area when you did the video on the big moving in of uninvited guests. I have to be vague or this comment won't stick. All the best my friends!
Taxes here suck ass so bad. But the state forests are great. And if you like the ocean, that's close too. But yes. They are developing all around us. And every neighborhood has it's bad people too.
In times like this, you are located in the best safest place cuz shtf is around the corner and your location would be overlooked especially when the Werewolf Preppers go on a prowl.
Unfortunately the goal that the World Economic Forum wants is 15 minute cities. That’s where everything is in your city so you don’t have to travel. Basically they want people in lockdowns in their cities and not have a reason to leave.🙃
haha, people moving in that want to change it like it was. Sounds like Californians trying to try to change Idaho and Wyoming into what they're running away from.

We do have a post office. But maybe I have a distant kissing cousin working in there. 😆

No traffic here, we are pretty much the same. But all that land I got excited looking at my pack. I have seen everything here. LOL
Nothing here but state forests. Nature trails and hiking trails. A few lakes too.

Hopefully it stays that way. Keep an eye and ear open at town meetings for crazy shit that they are thinking of doing to mess it up.

All this technology with phones and GPS. People almost lose their minds if it don't work for more than 15 minutes. Lol

I still wish we were further out. Lol

They're trying to push people out of the rural areas. Jacking taxes up, closing stores. They want everyone in those stack and pack housing. Crazy.

Wow this is not the middoe of nowhere . I can def show u what that looks like.
