This is also something a lot of people from the first world west but NOT from America don't understand.
Depending where you live, you're gonna have to deal with:
-zero jobs
-wild animals that can actually fucking kill you
-power outages
-extreme bad weather
-spotty internet or no internet
-spotty cell coverage or none
-difficulty securing good water sources
-no access to emergency services (if you live more than an hour from the nearest responder, you may as well not bother calling because you are fucked)
-crackheads and drug-runners wandering around the area
There's a reason shitlibs never understand the rest of the country. They've never BEEN to the rest of the country. They think guns are a frivolous freedom and not a necessary tool.
