300 acres on the westward-facing slope of the interior cascade temperate rainforest. Even if the entire region sees extended drying over the next 50, there will still be sufficient rainfall for crops. All it will need are a few holding pools to reliably produce a year-round supply.

It’s also reasonably remote, difficult to reach unless you know of the specific path, and reasonably defensible.

Great idea! Let's scale this out so that everyone can have this same basic security!

Until you get cancer.

Survivalist fantasies aren’t realistic.

It’s 30 minutes to the nearest town with a hospital. 2hrs from a moderate metro city with a large hospital. It’s isolated, not hundreds-of-km into the boonies.

I don’t think anyone is going to be working at the hospital if they have to start dedicating their time to survival?

That's disproving foobiekr's point though.

>Until you get cancer. >Survivalist fantasies aren’t realistic.

"I have a survival plan"

"if you get a terminal illness, you will die anyway, checkmate"

"Ok fine I will go somewhere with medical infrastructure"

"Idiot, there is no medical infrastructure"

At this point the whole discussion is illogical. If there are no doctors, then the survivalist strategy gives up nothing.

The initial strategy obviously works. If you get ill, you just need to make sure you've had children and that your children are healthy.
