PREACH! These are all spot on! Probably only thing I'd add to the list would be the "country" attitude. People out in the country just get things done. They aren't bothered by big city regulations and constraints. That kinda spills over into how their lives operate as well. Something needs done? Just do it. Neighbor needs something done. Help them do it. And, Neighbors are a whole different 'breed' out in the country. I've yet to meet any nosy neighbors all up in someone's business. (but was surrounded by them in the City) But, at any given moment, they'll give the shirt off their back to another neighbor that needs it.

I am 26. Even my parents and Grandparents call me old-fashioned. I hate the microwave and the dishwasher. I love building and repairing stuff. I just graduated college and am looking for some crappy office job, believing that I have no choice in today's society. My dream is to live on 5+ acres with two goats and a horse, in the countryside. I wish I chose civil engineering or carpentry, or just something that wasn't Computer Science. But, I plan on being in the office for just a few years at least, as I save up and commute to and from my near-future country home. But all I know it that I am a Country boy at heart (I call myself a "Country Boy Wanna-be" since I was born in the city and raised in the suburbs, and have yet to lift even one bale of itchy hay, or ride a tracker). I'm dreaming of leaving a cheap city society of snobs who can't look away from their phones for one minute, to simply smile at you. I won't miss the crowds and trying to impress people who don't even care about you. Everyone else my age likes "Lil Nas" and "Niki Minaj," while I listen to George Strait, Charlie Pride, Lorreta Lynn, Stevie Nicks, and Chaka Khan. I love Old Country cooking and the stores too. If I were born in another time period I'd maybe be a full-time carpenter or a cobbler. But, I'd like to learn those as hobbies. We all have to work but aren't there other options besides sitting behind a screen? Anyway. Have a nice day to anyone who reads this. :-)

I'm in a similar position as you. I've had the thought lately that the ideal work involves industriousness of the mind and the body, where I think I've realized that by doing a lot of hunting and fishing. Growing up I had the notion that I only had to stimulate the intellect to do fulfilling work, but that's lead to working behind a computer screen which is unfulfilling. I'd like to transition towards a lifestyle where I can apply my mind towards physical tasks, meanwhile applying my industrious attitude towards the accumulation of property.

Great video! My wife and I are country bound and nothing is gonna stop us. We are in our mid 30s and have lived in the burbs in a small home for about 10 years and we are ready for the country air! We live outside of Albany in upstate NY which is basically a bunch of small cities and suburbs everywhere. Not a bad place to live and i was raised here in a suburban town with houses all built in the 50's and I wouldn't change it for the world. I have 3 brothers and we grew up right next door to a beautiful suburban park where we spent most of our time and played little league baseball there too. The wife and I bought our house only a few miles from my parents about 10 years ago and thought we would want to live here forever. BUT we want the country and my dad grew up about 30 mins from here in the country at the foot of the beautiful Heldeberg mountains and I spent so much time at grandmas house out there when I was a kid and for the last few years me and the wife are itching to find our forever country dream home out there. 2020 is the year, we will be putting our current home up for sale in the next few months and do it!!! Its only like 30 to 40 minutes from where we are now and where our parents live which is great. Out there in the country is a few small towns like you said that have a small center with shopping and a few restaurants and such. It's the perfect set up, country home with space and land but only 5 or 10 mins from town and 30 mins from the city which is exactly what we want. All the things you've mentioned are sooo true about country living but personally I'm no stranger to any of that and am fully prepared for all of it!! My dad and his siblings are all country folk and I've spent enough time out there to know. Anyway we are so pumped and cant wait for our country dreams to come true. The dogs will be pumped too when their backyard is endless!! Thanks again for the great video and spot on!!!

Living in the Country, you basically have to do everything and it can suck, but you gain new skills, within each problem you face; like how he mentioned the septic tanks and plumbing (which is something I now know how to fix on my own!) Although it is challenging, it will toughen you up and you become self-reliant, more humbled, patient and laid back, like this man in the video. In the city, everything is done for you, which is great, too... but it softens you up over time. That is the price that comes with living in the city. Any little thing agitates you, because you have become so reliant on feeling comfortable, so much that you want to bask in the comfort zone at all times, which is un-biologically true lol. A little bit of stress and challenge is optimal. It creates growth! Great video ❤

I was just bored and looked up "living in the country" to see someone's ideas on it. Great list btw. I'm 65 miles from nyc near Pine Island, NY. most people don't realize that there's country this close to New York City. I have 125 Acres and I'm surrounded by Farms. I don't have the distance from big cities and malls that you guys do, but almost everything else is spot-on. (Except internet, its great this close to NYC). I did live in rural Georgia near the Alabama border for a while, seems a lot more like what you're talkin about. But yeah, once you go country it's hard to go back, even with all the extra responsibilities. I have had tons of animals. Neighbors all have guns and hunt. I hear coyotes howling in my fields all the time and no one bothers you out here. I can walk out of my front lawn and not see a single light from a neighbor's house and look up at the night sky and see all the stars without a telescope. I wouldn't trade living out here for anything.

I met a banana spider that was living here before I moved in. He was terrifying but claimed to know the neighbors and told me where the post office was. Thankfully, it soon decided to move and I was so very grateful since it was living next to the back door. In all seriousness, there are critters out here that are scary. When I asked the neighbor what I could do about said banana spiders he smiled and just said well, they go away in September and you don't see them again until around summer time. So.... Yeah...

Any suggestions for good countryside with work in a city?
@WhistleThicket4 жыл бұрын
Lots of places, but sounds like it depends on what kind of job you already have in the city , or what kind of job you want. If you live in a city now and like your current job and want to keep it, I would pull out a map of your area and decide how far you realistically want to drive to and from work everyday and then draw a big circle for the distance from your work and then search within that radius.

Question, do you have extra gas or diesel at home? Given that you’re further out and have to drive over 40 minutes to town or city
@WhistleThicket5 жыл бұрын
We live 35-40 miles from a major city, but we are closer to some small towns and gas stations. That being said, I usually have some diesel for the tractor and a gallon or two of gasoline.

3:50 @Whistle Thicket : “The internet sucks” Starlink Circa December 2020: “Hold my beer” Oh, and the Elon Musk new Starlink $80/month unlimited, high speed, low latency, very low orbit 1,200 satellite internet system (at 715 satallights as of Sept 3, 2020, and 120 more launched on Oct 17-18 2020, each rocket holds 60 satellites. Once launched. the satellites take a few weeks too get into the correct needed orbit) also fixes your cell phone coverage too via VoIP. All the major cell phone provides offer this voice over IP at no charge. Once set-up, you do nothing. Its seamless. When you get your phone on your homes Wi-Fi, your phone and texting also jump onto your Wi-Fi internet access too. What if your shop is too far from your home? Well, add a local wi-fi mesh network.

@@Five_31 "Countryside brightens up the soul, from what Ive noticed." There's jerks everywhere. Just because there are fewer people does not mean that they are nicer. I know lots of nice folks in the city, but I grew up on the fringe of a small town and have several family members who live in the country. Plenty of stories of bullies, jerks, and thieves living in the country.
