"7 Ways City Prepping Is Different Than Country Prepping"
by Daisy Luther via The Organic Prepper
I used to have that idyllic country lifestyle that most preppers dream about. Chickens, goats, acreage, a creek running through the backyard, and most of all, seclusion. It was wonderful. I learned so much about raising animals, keeping hungry deer out of my garden, and being self-reliant to a much larger degree.
But then life happened and that wasn’t going to work for us anymore. My precocious kid graduated homeschool at 16 and wasn’t able to follow her dreams in the state and location where we lived. Obviously, at that age, I wasn’t about to turn her loose to go to school in a different state, so we relocated.
We moved to a suburban area in southern Virginia. Gone was the acreage and the privacy, but that didn’t mean that I gave up on prepping. No way! I firmly believe that no matter where you live, you can be prepared. You may not be able to have a whole farm but you can still be self-reliant and prepped.

I'm still fairly rural. I say "fairly" because I used to be 25 miles from a Walmart, but now I'm only 5 miles from one.
Those who are rural are lucky. Unfortunately, far too many will not be able to be so, and they will not fare well over an extended period of time.
I am rural and plan on staying that way.
I have neighbors who moved back to the city and really feel unsafe because of the volumes of people that will be very hungry and not friendly during a SHIFT situation. All those stores that are convenient may be closed some time soon.
