I'm so glad I bought a homestead and live in the middle of no where

This is every 10 year olds dream

Until you break your arm or your dog is dying and needs emergency care.

Humans shouldn't be that isolated. Some is fine. But isolation isnt how we fight fascism.

My partner broke their leg last year. I just took them to the hospital...

So to you, middle of nowhere must be an hour or less to a city with a hospital. Thats normal rural. True middle of nowhere is a 6 hour drive at 80 mph to a town of 2000 (think north east Montana)

When i think of true home steading I don't think of 1 acre 15 miles from town. Thats just an acreage, plenty of city folk have those.

I live on 15 acres, 20 minutes from a town of around 20,000 just just happens to have a hospital.

In my province, I'm in the middle of no where. I'm on a rural dirt road that sees zero traffic.

Also, shout out to "true homesteading", as if you're gatekeeping farming.

Thats mildly rural.

I'm sick of these "trad farm" folks that keep popping up thinking they're "roughing it" when they've never worked on a farm in their life.

You dont seem like one of those.

This is why I live halfway between nowhere and somewhere. Vets and hospital and poor reception so pulling the cell antenna off seems to bork onstar.
