Let's say I'm a very 1 John 2:15 type of guy... That's for "my" perspective
What you own ends up owning you
I had to look it up. Interesting passage.
If there's one thing that I would do, if I were the owner of a piece of land near a no man's land, is to build a shelter on another piece of land that doesn't belong to me or anybody else, just for the sake of having no bill attached to it
It's not legal of course, but you know the saying if a bear farts in the woods...
And if I were to attack a farm on my own, it would be as a sniper. Because while they're busy doing their field, what are they going to do when the bullets suddenly start flying at them? Run for 400m? Try to spot me and take me out with scopeless handguns or rifles? Unless they have snipers they are kind of completely fucked like fishes in a barrel in an open field if they get caught by surprise like that
Not saying I want to do it, just saying that's the type of stuff both difficult to deal with and completely within the realm of possible
All things that were considered, evaluated and planned for. If, big if , you ever made it out that far to our area, you find the hills do not allow you visibility on the way in. Trees surround everything. The geese that live there are excellent alarms, the dogs know to listen for them. The way in is uphill, serpentine and slow. Everybody can look to see who is coming. Other directions nature has provided insurmountable obstacles. There is also the hidden retreat option, to a nearish safe house with supplies. One does always have home turf advantage of knowing every tree, hole and rock.
No plan can be perfect in an unknown future, but we think we have a better chance than most.
