Those who live on acreage sometimes scoff at those who live in cities for reasons of business, education, or families. Those who live in the cities feel obligated to defend their choices. The truth of the matter is that there IS no perfect plan, and even if you had one, SHTF might have other ideas. You need both skillsets to survive,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3lqWf4g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as Selco teaches<\/a>.
