North Central NY, I am in NE Oklahoma; may have to offer you moral support, LOL! I does look like you had a lot of fun; I enjoy anything that involves prepping.

;)

I'm always open to moral support... We chose NY for our homestead because of friends, family and the proximity to Europe (none stop flights). We are building for self reliance and who knows if there is a massive economic downfall one day, we'll be prepared!

If nothing happens, and we recover this crash dive; you have picked an excellent quality of life! If the SHTF, you have picked an excellent quality of life; I see no downside here, LOL!

The last time My Son went to Europe (Rome) he had one stopover of about 90 minutes, I thought from Dallas. Family happens, and they are nice to have close! Better plan on some extras for SHTF scenarios.

Stay Blessed! :)

True true, thank you for that, I do believe it is an excellent way of life we picked. Hard, but rewarding. I'm definitely not a dooms day type but we are for sure prepping for self reliance!

Cheers

I am not preparing for doomsday, but I am preparing to be off grid, to save time and money.

Yea, same reasons here!

I am putting in a large system, big enough to heat and cool the house too. My wife has MS, so she is sensitive to heat and cold. So the need for the oversized system comes from that.
