What's it like living rural? I've previously lived in cities all of my life, some of them quite large, but because for several decades I've had a cabin in a rural mountain area where I've lived as often as I could, sometimes for months at a time, I knew what rural living was like before I decided to live at my cabin year round. I love it. But rural living is not for everyone.
There are factors that city dwellers might not think about before they flee the city for the country: slow EMS response times, dangerous wild animals, roaming cattle, a slower pace of life, people who take umbrage if you don't wave at them on the highway. But are you any more likely to die without anyone knowing about it when you live rural than when you live in the city with neighbors all around you? I talk about all of this as I split wood. Which is another thing about living rural; for many, you can't just flip a switch to turn on the heat.
As more issues come to my attention from former city dwellers who've fled for the country, I'll continue to discuss this, since I now realize that much of what I take for granted about rural life and assumed everyone knew before they fled the city for the country, they did not know. Don't want you to be surprised. Moving's a huge undertaking. If you think living rural appeals, I want you to know what it's really like. So I'll talk more about this over time.

When a church lady asked me to explain to her how I use my washing machine water to water my back yard plants, I filmed it and posted it for her and others to see. That was fun so I did more.
Besides recycling water, making natural fertilizer, and reviews of things I think need reviewing, some of these videos are about gardening or dealing with drought, while others answer someone's question or concern (such as a Next Door neighbor scared of bees, so I filmed myself with bees to help her not be so afraid of them, and a church lady horrified by wasps, so ditto).
Still other videos are ones I want people to know about - El Paso's deadly air pollution, and the beauty of Cloudcroft New Mexico.
