And of course you know one of our alternative home sites because you've been there. "Off the beaten path." doesn't even begin to describe it and I'm sure you'd agree, heh. At least until the goddamned thing sells.
Ace in the hole.
For the record, I want that motherfucker. I wouldn't haggle on the asking price (much). I think it's perfect in the larger sense.
My only problem with it is, it's

Preparedness is really not an easy concept. It requires discussion because theres always something to be learned. Being neighborly is just not an option. They'll eventually whittle you down, or rat you out. Its unlikely that you'll be in a mutually beneficial relationship with devastated people.
I think that is one of the few benefits of an online life, making contacts and so-forth. I wouldn't want much to do with my neighbors.. But if I had my shit together, I'd probably make an effort to contact JohnShaw! and his awesome lady, in the post-apocalyptic world.
It probably wouldn't be to trade or barter or ask or beg. More like, just to "ping" him. Yo, whassup. Dudes still alive over here. The survivor network.
Not much different than I'm doing now, actually.
