There Is No \u201cPerfect\u201d Location for Preppers: You MUST Make the Best of Where You Are<\/a><\/h3>\n
<\/div>\n

In the prepping world, discussions abound about the \u201cperfect\u201d location for preppers. According to most, it has to be rural, it needs to have a crystal clear stream running through it, acres of garden space, a mature orchard, and it needs to be off-grid (or ready to be so at the flip of a switch.) Heck, I\u2019ve written about this<\/a>myself. I\u2019ve lived in that \u201cperfect\u201d location.<\/p>\n

But the reality is that although some live in that situation, most of us do not. For most of us, the demands of work, family, and budget mean that we live someplace that is not perfect. And moreover, even those places that sound perfect, aren\u2019t necessarily all they\u2019re cracked up to be.<\/p>\n

Perfect isn\u2019t always that great.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve lived in some places that would be considered perfect in prepping circles. Actually, because I\u2019m sort of a nomad, I\u2019ve lived in quite a few really awesome places.<\/p>\n

When I first began prepping in an SHTF kind of way instead of just stocking up on some extra food and keeping extra batteries for the flashlight, I lived in a large metropolitan area between Toronto and Buffalo. The region had a population of close to half a million people and I had no doubt that things would get ugly fast if a serious event were to occur. When I got a chance to live the prepper\u2019s dream out in the boonies, I jumped at it.<\/p>\n

A secluded cabin on a lake in Ontario<\/a> was my first \u201cperfect\u201d location. That was actually my introduction to rural living and I thought I was going to freeze to death before learning how to build a fire in the woodstove that would stay lit long enough to warm my house.<\/p>\n
