Proof That Rural Living Doesn’t Make You Safe
Just because you move to a rural environment doesn’t mean you’re automatically safe and secure from the dangers that we prepare for.
I wanted to discuss this topic for a number of reasons. First, it demonstrates a real world scenario that’s occurring right now to people in rural environments regarding safety and security. By analyzing their solutions to the problem, we can begin planning for something similar now before the time comes where it’s necessary. It also shows us that the concepts and ideas being pushed out by some of these groups can eventually lead to this type of behavior. And this is not a localized event. These ideas are being spread globally. So regardless of where you live, don’t take your rural lifestyle for granted in the sense of security. The days of leaving your front door unlocked should be long gone in your mind.

Proof That Rural Living Doesn’t Make You Safe
Living in rural areas has long been associated with a sense of safety and security. Away from the hustle and bustle of crowded cities, many believe that rural living provides a refuge from crime, violence, and other dangers. However, recent data challenges these assumptions, revealing that rural areas are not immune to the risks and challenges that come with modern living.
One of the common misconceptions about rural living is that crime rates are significantly lower compared to urban areas. While it may be true that certain types of crimes, such as mass shootings or gang-related violence, are less prevalent in rural areas, other crimes are more pervasive. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, property crime rates in rural areas are nearly equivalent to those in urban areas. Burglaries, thefts, and other property-related offenses occur in both rural and urban settings, debunking the belief that rural living guarantees safety in this regard.
Another aspect to consider is the lack of emergency services and resources. While rural areas often boast serene landscapes and close-knit communities, they are not always adequately equipped to handle crises. Emergency response times may be significantly longer due to the vast distances emergency services need to cover. This delay can be detrimental in life-or-death situations such as heart attacks, accidents, or natural disasters. Moreover, rural areas often lack the infrastructure and facilities required for specialized medical treatments, leaving residents at a disadvantage when access to quality healthcare is needed.
The assumption that rural areas are safe from environmental risks is also debunked by evidence. Climate change has the potential to impact rural areas just as much as urban ones. Climate-related disasters like floods, droughts, and wildfires do not discriminate between urban and rural regions. In fact, rural communities dependent on agriculture may be particularly vulnerable to these risks, as livelihoods can be destroyed, causing socioeconomic instability and even forced migration.
Furthermore, isolation and limited connectivity can pose additional risks to rural dwellers. A lack of access to reliable internet and communication networks can hinder emergency response efforts, making it difficult to reach help quickly. This isolation can also result in a lack of timely information about ongoing crises, leaving residents ill-prepared and more susceptible to danger.
It is essential to dispel the misconception that rural living ensures safety because this misconception can lead to a false sense of security and complacency. Rural areas are not immune to crime, emergencies, environmental risks, or the challenges of modern living. Recognizing these realities allows for better preparedness, community engagement, and the development of appropriate infrastructure and resources to mitigate risks in both urban and rural areas.
In conclusion, the idea that rural living is synonymous with safety is a flawed perception. The evidence shows that rural communities face their own unique set of challenges, including crime, limited emergency services, climate-related risks, and isolation. Acknowledging these realities is crucial to fostering a proactive approach to safety, ensuring the well-being of individuals and communities, regardless of their location.
Were you aware of these events occurring in South Africa? Is this something you have considered for your preparedness planning?

BS . There are good neighbors wher I'm at that will ban together and we can block the very few road into our town and people in rural areas most are hunters and have rifles and hand guns and not relying on their 9mm, most big game hunters are like snipers.
Yep
With all due respect, I stop your video right at the point where you brought up South Africa. I was born and raised in the inner-city housing complexes of the South Bronx during the 70's and 80's. Do you know what the similarity are between the Bronx and South Africa (outside of the fact that they both have Black people) The ability for a person to obtain personal firearms is heavily impeded in both by central and local government. Do you know the hoops that you have to jump through just to get a permit to carry in the South Bronx? My Grandfather lived in a rural area of Conway South Carolina from the 1950's to the day he passed away in the early 90's. As a kid, I always remembered him carrying a snub nose 38 revolver in his front pocket and having a Mossberg 12-gauge pump tuck by the nightstand next to his bed. I was safer in that house, at any given time than I ever was living in my home in the Bronx. Why? Because predators know the prey they are going after, and the prey is never strong but weak. The families that were attack on their farms in South Africa were for the better part mostly elderly people with minimum access to weapon for personal protection. Not trying to be disrespectful, and I understand everywhere has its issues, but you don't find to many people leaving Rural America for big city or Metropolitan areas to avoid crime.
What he’s saying is true we farm and we have a couple of South African guys that’s helping us. And they’ve told me things that are absolutely brutal that are going on there. A bit scary and also eye opening!
The attacks in South Africa are not only political but racist and a hate crime in nature. It is Africans AKA black people killing the white people especially the white Farmers yet again so that they can go through another round of starvation because they don't know how to do the farming themselves. We are in 2023 and they're still living in mud huts and so what's the brightest most intelligent thing to do? Go and kill the white people that owned the farm that are farming it so that you can have food no longer grown? Yeah real smart move. And when the shit hits the fan here in the United States you're going to see the same kind of hatred from the black population because they've been indoctrinated into believing that white man bad and everyone of them is a victim of slavery even though none of them have ever been slaves. They are not punished and 2023 for the crimes they commit now because that would be just racism the politicians say but white people who are alive now and never owned slaves and probably ain't even related to Lil white people that owned slaves back in the beginning of this country should have to pay reparations for that? Get the fuck out of here with that mental gymnastics bulshit
You can say it. They're being attacked because they're White.
My lifestyle involves prepping for SHTF. I'm not going to be an easy target lol
Remember people…Human beings are animals..violence ..war politics evil and good around each other every day…over population..stress…just be careful and cautious…smart.
We are planning on getting out of the city and retiring to a rural city. You absolutely are safer in a rural area simply because there are less people, less urban people. A rural area is going to have more salt of the earth type people as well. Not safe everywhere, but certainly it's more dangerous in populated cities. We have layers of security in our home to include cameras, dogs, reinforced exterior doors and lastly a crazy guy with a firearm.
In rural areas one of the best strategies is watching out for your neighbors, small – mid size towns are definitely one of the more ideal environments as you have a community (ideally well Armed, and diverse in Skills) alone or with any group smaller than 20 in the remote areas has to be one of the worst strategies
Idk man, unless theres a war. The only reason we lock our doors is cause of the bears lmao
Translation: We stole the land and we're surprised that theyre forcefully taking it back.
Gotta live in the woods, in the mountains. Have a secondary dwelling on the property that doesn’t look like a home at a higher elevation. Be able to see the entries of your house through a scope. Line the perimeter of your property with anything that will alert you that someone is there. If you look down and see numbers, evacuate to your secondary “post”. Observe, orient, decide, and act accordingly. Don’t be stupid and just start shooting people, make sure that you’re sure they are a lethal threat first. Warning shots are only acceptable if you know exactly how many there are and you are far enough away not to give up your position.
If you live in the middle of nowhere and do not own a firearm, that's a sin in my book..
My fellow freedom loving citizens: Never, ever give up our guns!
When you can no Longer candidIy discuss the real problems, rest assured your .gov are nefariousIy complicit in said problems.
Our government is bringing in millions of these "men" that will gladly hunt us like they're doing in SA and your tax dollars are funding it.
