“I’d like about 40 acres... 40 acres and a mule, right? But in the meantime, it’s cheap. It doesn’t cost a lot of money. And that way I can get lots of good, fresh, organic produce for my family in the interim.”
.....this is a solution of many who think they’ll prepare for the “end of America”....but if things get that bad there will be little law and order...armed bands of criminal militia(think:bikers)will forage the countryside doing as they please...for protection, people will be forced to band together.....fortified villages will arise just like they did in the dark ages.
......at present I own 27 acres in the country with a spring, a stocked pond and wood fired furnace...I’m isolated at the end of the road...there’s no way I could defend it from an outlaw gang.

I’m in a similar situation, but unless they get past the sensors, dogs, etc, and catch me sleeping, I don’t intend to defend it. I intend to keep them from leaving.
