damn ! Apartment situations ?

This is basically what I want to do, but I think I'm a little greener behind the ears and all that. A young couple with the high likelyhood of kids in the near future don't have a lot of money, but I was looking at some land out by Fairplay.. Maybe 10-20 acres that could also be used as a hunting cabin, relaxing getaway, prepping stash, etc. The only problem with that, is if the SHTF quickly (we're talking overnight chaos), we wouldn't be able to make it out in time and it would all be a loss...

ETA: Somewhere someone mentioned the idea of a prepping gated community... I love this idea, but it would take a lot of work to make it happen.

My plan is to stay home as long as possible.

Gated community = a lot of people in limited territory. Lots of people = lots of different opinions. Lots of different opinions = a lot of troubles...

Well, the idea would be to get a lot of people with the same basic opinions, and the same PRINCIPLES about liberty, and they should be able to play nice. It would be a bunch of preppers who want to survive and rebuild. There would of course have to be some sort of local government, even if it is just bylaws or something. And who said anything about limited territory? Each plot could be 1 acre, 5 acres, or whatever you want. I wasn't thinking of a modern "gated community" so much as a mutual survival community. Maybe 20-50 people?
