I need to “protect” my land, crops, self, animals, before I can actually raise them.
The biggest worry I have about living rurally is burglary. As tanksolder mentioned, a simple trip to the grocery store is about 2 hours. In a neighborhood, there are 1000 other houses. A neighbor lives 15 feet away and can see a big truck pull up and start unloading your belongings. You also blend in a lot more.
In the country, I’m not sure that’s the case. Trailer trash mixed with a few nice houses look like easy targets to me. Hence the gate, cameras, etc. maybe I’m overthinking it.
