How to Be Self-Sufficient in a Rural Area

If you're a financially independent person living in a rural area that's strategically located you've got some land and neighbors who are on the same page and level as you. In a best case scenario your home is going to be located on land with a well or an aquifer. You don't require established utilities to keep the home warm or cool. Maybe you've invested in some off-grid solar, you might have a septic tank or an outhouse. But you have lots of self-reliant skills from canning food to knowing self-defense and you're also able to go mobile if the situation requires it.
