The Good, the Bad.... and the Ugly Critters of Rural Life

Country living, like anything, has its good and bad. In this video I talk about what I see as the pro's of living in a rural setting as well as negatives that folks need to consider if they want a slice of the quiet life!
Topics include everything from increased liberty, safety in pandemics, building self reliance..... To things like general inconveniences, lack of emergency services, and others things that might not appealing to everyone.

NOTE: there are a few benefits that I forgot to cover...haha.... not sure why. But they include things like growing food, foraging, solar, alternative construction, etc,. But I'll just lump those into the "liberty" section in that you have the freedom to do more of these types of things in the country.
