Anyone live in extremely rural area?

No electronic fog and radiation.

In the Winter it is, as I have to go over two 10k feet passes to get there.
In the Summer on the motorcycle, it isn’t.
It is an excellent cruise thru the mountains.

I know. It's a trip. It's one of the major reasons I bought this Farm.

Yep, small, rural. No black or Mexican
Very few tweakers

My Neighbors are No-Nobody.

This, same w/us.

Don't feel bad. My karma is mostly red too. Who cares??
I will check out your u tube.

I'm in rural area. But not rural enough.
If I can hear your dog barking or your kids playing, then it's not rural enough

Yes. In the last 10 years internet got alot better. We have water co-op. With has great water and I usually get a check at the end of the year. Electric power outages suck because we're last on the list. As well as snow removal.. were a day or 2 behind the populated areas

I'm around the corner from extremely rural. I know I'm not quite as far out there though, in the early mornings. I can smell coffee from the thousands upon thousands of coffee pots when I go outside . I don't drink it. I doubt if the average person even notices it, or thinks that's what the great outdoors smells like in the early morning earthy dew.

Yes, I have moved to BFE...bum f'd e...,

The first night we were here, when I turned the light out to crash, I couldn't see shit. It's amazing how much night time ambient light pours into a room in the city. Also, the quiet took some getting used to.

After a few years now, I love it and wish I had done this years ago. Most rural people, at least near me, are good God loving folks. In the mid terms, our conservative candidate carried 89% of the vote, not perfect but much better than our old county.

Oh yeah, Starlink said we were on a waiting list, so I ordered it for our RV and now enjoy 100mbs in the morning when I am working. Streaming at night is starting to spool a lot, but even our fiber in the city did that

My rural area has cable internet. But cell phone at my residence is barely a bar or two and can’t make or receive calls from the downstairs. Have to go upstairs for cell signal. Only about two planes fly over per day. No chem trails in the immediate area. It’s wonderful, and yes, peaceful. When in the city I can feel the strange pressure, like a weight on my shoulders.

It's funny how you say it's quiet, and I suppose it is compared to car noises, or people talking or their television sets or sirens, but in the summer the insects and the birds can be noisy. I have a mockingbird that sings in my backyard until 2:00 a.m. sometimes. He just keeps going through his repertoire.
In the winter at night I hear the coyotes, sometimes they are close or other times in the distance. I read somewhere that they have loops they do and they switch every couple weeks which makes sense. They seem to love our orchard for some reason. I also like starting in about mid-January when I can hear the great horned owls staking out their territory at night. I hear owls all year round but that time of year is special.

And don't forget the critters living in the walls. Lol

Mostly they scritch and scratch but once in awhile you get one who snores. Probably a possum or something.

And in the springtime you can't let the dogs out at night because the skunks are very active and the dogs are stupid. Next is the season of porcupines, where you also can't let the dogs run at night.

But yeah I wouldn't trade it for the world. I get all jittery in town. Sometimes even if I have to make a run to the grocery store, I quit 2/3 of the way through my list and just bolt, pay for my groceries and get out of town. And I know that silly, bordering on crazy but I just can't take all those people around me.

I’m in NYC. It’s very difficult to be here, but I’ve found allies here and peace internally. If SHTF, I have a bug out location. I’m the meantime, I feel like God has destined me to fight on the front lines.

*IN the meantime. Typing on a cell phone.

Yes. And having a few good friends who would do anything for you is better than having hundreds of acquaintances.

The only real noise we have is when the orchards turn on their fans. The sky is full of stars, the coyotes sing their songs, the air is fresh and clear.

City life is not for me.

We have whip-poor-wills

We deal with where we are and make the best of it.

I’d rather smell coffee than the smell of a chicken farm when they open the vents lol

You didn't understand what was saying, I suppose. About the internet backbone cables - T1.

To be clear fiber runs along the power-lines along the highway. My farm has a junction point and then from the fiber at the highway to my farm it's coax (about 200 yards).

And that's their whole life...

LOL

Just think of that!

No wonder they can't afford to be very intelligent, they would ask themselves too many questions...

Same with us 30 mins to a major town and we LOVE it.

Ah. Well, then it isn't fiber running to your farm, is it? lol... although it comes very close indeed if you are right.

I am a bit surprised too that fiber cable which I guess is connecting to a big city is running above ground...

We live in the mountains in a small Christian
community forty miles in every direction from
any small town.

Moved here decades ago to escape the city "life"
and have never regretted it.

No cell phone signals, a few digital local TV
channels come in, but it's all garbage so we do
ROKU.

If you like the hustle and bustle, and malls,
and holdups, and break-ins, and car-jacking and
things like THAT, you'd HATE it here.

No police here, but everyone has an arsenal of
weapons that only get used in deer season.

Most people here still know all the "old ways"
and practice them (out of habit I guess), so they'd
be among the few survivors if everything stopped
or broke down.

We are a long helicopter ride from the nearest
hospital, and there are other disadvantages, but
they pale in comparison to the peace and serenity
of nature, and good Christian neighbors, and
zero crime that this little corner of America
provides.

you dnt want to be trapped near the landed and 'all set' people. they are dumb as they are propertied.

You'd have to be crazy to live in the city or even the suburbs during this decade of "The Great Reset".

I've lived in just about every every environment, and rural and remote are definitely the best.

Less RF.

It wasn't the people.

No thanks. Too many toothless inbred rednecks in rural and remote areas.
