There's been a mass exodus from cities to rural locations this year and as winter sets in, a lot of former city dwellers may be in for some pretty big surprises. If you move to the boondocks expecting it to be just like living in the city except you'll see trees when you look out the window instead of apartment buildings, you're going to be in for a rough time.
You will quickly find yourself tested to the breaking point if you go in completely unprepared like I did. Here's the painfully honest - and somewhat embarrassing - truth about what I learned when I moved my daughter, my
pets, and all our stuff to the Algonquin Forest for a year, straight from the big city.
This probably isn’t what you want to read from the person you take prepping advice from but it’s probably something a lot of people should read before making a giant leap into the unknown.
Have you ever just up and dramatically changed everything about the way you were living? Did you run into challenges that made you question your wisdom and possibly your sanity? Share your stories in the comments. Trust me, they're probably not as painfully naive as mine.
