I’ve written similar stuff here. And how seriously do I take it? I’ve lived in Seattle since 1966, in 7th grade.
I purchased a small but very nice new house on 13 acres in rural, central Kentucky two weeks before the 2008 election and moved here in August of 2011. We can survive off our land here and are almost set up to do just that.
This afternoon I wanted some protein but didn’t want meat. We were out of eggs because we took all we had to our relatives in Chicago this weekend. So I had to go to the chicken coop and grab the four eggs that were there. I fried up two of them.
What is coming has been clear to me - as if it has already happened - for five years though I admit it took longer to gestate than I thought it would. No matter who wins in November, you can know that a lot of history has been being held back until after the election, when the flood gates will be opened.
We are living in a time that more parallels the fall of Rome than any other time in the history of man. Except this is MUCH bigger. My farm is not a guarantee for us. It is merely a risk mitigator.
There’s a large comet coming? Hekkla is going to blow up? WHAT?
Thanks for your kind reply. I am a little amazed at how much your situation mirrors our own.
We have 10 acres, 3/4 of which is wooded. There’s a running creek at the bottom of the hill and a large creek about a half-mile down the road. We are also close to the Delaware River. We have a deep well and private septic. (I have been looking at hand pumps and generators lately.)
Our parcel is next to a huge state park where they occasionally hold “deer hunts” because the deer population gets out of control. There’s plenty of other critters around, too, although I can’t see eating anything other than the ducks and turkeys, if we have to. We also have a vegetable garden and a 2200 btu cast-iron wood stove with a cooktop grate and a removable ashtray so we never have to let the fire die. Of course, we have all the free fuel (mostly ash trees) we will ever need for the stove. I’ve got rifles, guns, ammo, and big dogs.
And by the way, I just now walked back from the chicken coop with three eggs. It’s cooling down around here these days and the egg production will be dropping off soon.
I can’t say we are totally prepared for economic apocalypse, but we are ahead of the game, I think.
