BUG-OUT LAND · FOR WHEN SKYNET GOES LIVE (OR THE POWER JUST GOES OUT)
Where to buy remote land to ride out Skynet?
The Skynet part is a joke. Wanting land that can keep you fed, watered and warm when the grid, the apps or the supply chain fail is not. These are the regions homesteaders and preppers look at most in the US, the checklist that separates a refuge from a money pit, and where land is listed.
