Country and Wilderness Life

Hey you all, your friendly neighborhood Lion on fire here.

This thread isn't specifically about Biblical Family related matters, but it can tie in.

I just love country and wilderness life.

It's slower, friendlier, quieter, more down to earth, practical, and simpler.

Sometimes I would drive up into the forest in the mountains just to park, get out, and listen to the quietness. Sometimes I took naps out there to.

I was born in 1990 and that music left an impression on me. The kind of country music I like is more about county life in general and generally more conservative than today's country.

What are some of the things you love about country and wilderness life?

The slower pace. I lived in Baton Rouge all my life until recently. People were always in a hurry, rude, inconsiderate, and hostile to one another because the pace was so fast. Where I moved to recently is completely different. I've had to learn to adapt, I catch myself bringing my bad habits with me, and I feel like the rude one at times, lol

I wonder what New York City pace is.

I currently live in California and it's sad, disgusting, and ugly all at the same time.

It's really The Ghetto out here and homeless are abundent.

I'd rather work in Yosemite for awhile instead of the city.

We moved to Wyoming from suburban California in 2010 and I've never been interested in living in a city ever since.

It's nice to get up early some mornings and go outside and it is dead quiet. No wind, no critters making noise, nothing.

Then as the sun rises you hear life starting to happen. You smell smoke from the morning fires and cookstoves, you smell bacon, you hear the birds, you even hear the airliners way up above because it is so quiet on the ground.

I discovered John Denver some years ago and while he sings about Colorado his words speak to how I feel about this place:

 
Just be advised.

Info from US citizens visited Europe is that US cities are basically unlivable. Proof: suburbs.

City itself provides far more than bedroom and yet most avoid city proper. Causes: crime, streets built only for cars etccc...

I have lived in 3 cities over 100k people in europe. In all cases within 30 minute were large parks.

In Germany I saw shepherd with 6 sheeps on edge of city.

I don't know if 6 sheep qualify a man as a shepherd. 😉

European cities probably are more livable.

I've got six hens in my back yard, but don't consider myself a poultry farmer.

What say you @FollowingHim? We know you are a legitimate shepherd.

Six wives certainly make a man a husband. 🤔

Here are some more answers to the question about benefits of the rural life.

1. See the stars at night
2. No traffic
3. Quiet
4. Ability to grow food
5. Neighbors generally more friendly
6. Can go shooting
7. Less busybodies (government etc)

I don't know, I'd have imagined at least 50 to be an old Biblical / African subsistence farmer flock size, but that isn't going to be a viable business even in subsidised Europe. A few hundred would be a more reasonable minimum to be a "shepherd" in a Western context. Six is a man with some pets. But really there isn't an actual definition, use the word how you like.
