"Yup, I am rural AND mega Prepped as well. I will live life as usual, until tshtf here, then I am ready."

Well said. There are also many ways to make a home unapproachable to some but safe and inviting to real friendlies. In my case, this place is a little far out for anyone who would fill up with, say, fuel that costs $10 per gallon or more during a default/dollar collapse.

The climate is also a no-go for anyone who would try hanging around while trying to case it (way cold for nine months of the year and too hot during summer days--not much atmosphere overhead). And the elevation--oxygen debt really fast for anyone lacking enough red blood platelets (altitude sickness common in visitors who go up too fast).

At the same time, there have been drawbacks and difficulties in building here (too far from electrical power hookups along with the formerly mentioned difficulties and more). I envy those prepared to take the route of launching yachts on the oceans.
