I’m not saying it’s likely. I’m just saying that the rural farm retreat is not a panacea. They are also more subject to brutal home invasions by “commando criminal” gangs. Read Fernando Aguirre’s “The Modern Survival Manual” about life in Argentina after their economic collapse in 2000. Isolated rural properties became targets of the most horrific attacks imaginable. Invaders would stalk, snipe and attack, then stay for days torturing family members into revealing the locacation of hidden valuables, if any.

So Fernando wrote a book! ...not a bad price, either. I read some of his anecdotes and had nearly forgotten about them. ...wondered at the time, if we might be headed in the same kind of economic direction. He was observant and dedicated to telling everyone about what went on.

And come to think of it after opening this noggin a little wider, things can change in a hurry—even governments. ...might think on that a little more.

Actually remote locations could be the worst. Many experts are now saying fortify your local area. Manpower to stan watches etc is key. A family of four of five would be exhausted standing watch after week.

Zimbabwe is another shining example of what can happen to those on large agricultural holdings.
