Getting back at it.

That’s great, Bigpaul! And I agree, I wouldn’t want to end up “off my feet”, either.

I love cycling and walking. Unfortunately, there’s no place to go, where I’m at. I’m in a little subdivision, with not much else around. And I don’t like walking/riding on highways.

As far as some people planning to carry tons of gear, I think that’s a common problem. Unfortunately, you just can’t take everything you’d like to have, on your back.

I’m lucky , I live in the middle of Devon county, a rural farming community and I can be out in the countryside within a couple of minutes of walking out of my front door, to british preppers I have bugged out already compared to most. I’m in the north of the county-most of the population live in the far south of the county near the coast.

That sounds great! I wish I lived in the English countryside! I live in a suburb of Houston. I’m hoping to get the heck out Texas, though, soon.

one thing I have learned about having a pup is you get LOTS of walking in if you dont want them going mental in the house 🙂

Weather is conducive to bike to work for me now so am getting a bit of that in, as well.

I lived in a small south west city(pop 250,000) for 43 years but managed(finally) to get out 15 years ago, moved to a medium! sized town(8,800) where we lived for 10 years and finally come home to Devon 5 years ago and moved to the edge of a small market town(Parish population 1,300). surrounded by fields of sheep-this is hill farming country, to any sheeple living in a british city this is the “middle of nowhere”!!!

J,

That’s cool getting to bike to work! I really need to get my bike fixed. Then I could occasionally throw it in the back of the truck, and drive somewhere where it’s nicer to ride. It’s always good when you get exercise doing something you enjoy.

Bigpaul,

That sounds like a dream, where you live! I like big cities and small towns (with decent scenery). Ideally, I’d like to live in a nice small town, about an hour from a big city. But from your description, I’d love to live where you’re at!

[bigpaul]

we aren’t actually in the town, we are on the opposite side to the town, separated by the river, about 1 mile out near the parish border.

Not only does that sound like a really nice place to live, it sounds like a great place to be, if ever the SHTF.

[bigpaul]

its certainly a lot better than most places I’ve lived before.
