Roughing It And Loving It In The Country
Perhaps you are looking to really get away from it all for a quiet vacation. Or, maybe you are considering retirement in a rural or even rustic environment. Those weary of the crowds and stress of city living may long for the peace and quiet of a cabin in the woods. If this is your idea of fun, you should definitely run with it. There are a few things, however, to think about before taking off for the wilderness. While you may not miss your daily latte from the corner cafe, probably you don't feel the same way about giving up basic creature comforts such as warmth and water.
The first thing to think about with regard to life in a rural setting is being well stocked with supplies of all kinds. Depending on how far you are from the nearest town, it may be difficult to get to a store very easily if you run out of something. Food and other supplies should be stockpiled and managed carefully so that you don't need to make an emergency trip for an item or two. Instead have planned shopping days and make sure you have enough to last for the periods in between.
Having a well on the property, as is likely, is a wonderful source of water as long as it works. Should anything go wrong, though, either with the water or the means to pump it, you could be in dire straits. Protect yourself from this situation by having a large storage tank that the well constantly tops off, and also have a generator on hand for emergency electricity. Also stash bottles of water for drinking, cooking and washing, enough to last until you can get into town or fix the problem with your well.
You should have some self-sufficiency with regard to emergency situations that may occur, as personnel from town may take some time to get to you when you need them. Make sure you have first aid supplies and know basic first aid procedures, including CPR.
Keeping a large area around your house cleared of excessive brush and overgrown bushes, as well as overhanging tree limbs, will serve as a barrier should a forest fire start nearby. This type of task is easily done with a lightweight Homelite chainsaw. This way you may save your house and everything in it while the firefighters are on their way,
As long as you have space cleared around your house, you may want to use some of it to grow your own fruits and vegetables. This is a wonderful activity no matter where you live. But in the country having your own supply of fresh produce is even more important, as going into town often for groceries may not be practical. You can take it one step further, if you like, and can the excess you produce for when you run out of fresh produce.
You are likely to need and want a good supply of firewood when the weather turns cool. The only source of heat for your home may be an air-tight fireplace. Or you may prefer it even if other heating options, such as gas or electric, are available. And even an open fireplace is a source of some heat as well as enjoyment. An afternoon in the woods with a heavy duty Husqvarna chainsaw will produce all the firewood you need, after, of course, you have split it with your axe.
Now you can enjoy the rewards of all your hard work and planning. With a full tank of water, a full pantry and plenty of other supplies to last as long as you need them to, you can relax and enjoy the rural lifestyle. You have plenty of firewood in the house, and much more outside, getting seasoned for when you'll need it later. With all these creature comforts, and the satisfaction of having done it yourself, it's time for a cup of coffee and some relaxation. Or you may feel ambitious and get back to working on the quilt set you're making. This is as good as it gets.
