No, little ice age. But you might think it's the big one as it would collapse our ag system since we have a corn based food supply. It's one of the reasons we were so easily able to settle the continent; the last time it happened it collapsed the Missisippian culture. In Europe, it led to widespread famine. Popular history has mostly forgotten about it but we still remember what happened next to the weakened population: the black death.
Build a greenhouse, keep a couple years food stocked in rotation and make sure your food supply doesn't depend on corn; no one will successfully grow that north of the Mason-Dixon.

This is what we do!
There are a lot of ideas about how it may play out but the main thought is that food prices will get very high. It's not suppose to get a good head of steam going until 2030. It's just something to evaluate and see if it affects your plans.
Yes, definitely.
@Asforme&myhouse,
Northern Idaho was not my favorite. Beautiful but not really where I’d want to live. Maybe central to southern would be more rural. I am really considering Arkansas

Thanks for the summary, I appreciate it! What was the thing you disliked the most about northern Idaho? How far south is still northern?
It may be a great place for you and your fam, just depends on where God calls you guys.
We didn’t go north of sandpoint and south of post falls .
I think I’d rather go south and look for more flat land. It may also be really nice up near Canada.
All the towns nowadays are packed with the cell towers 3G etc and they give my wife bad migraines when we drive by. No joke she can close her eyes and tell you how close we are to one without seeing them. We want to be in the sticks. 30min-1hr from any towns.
Wow! What are you guys going to do when 5G comes online? That stuff is bad news and I hear it will reach almost every corner of the country
I think we might have to make a trip up there in the near future, to look around.
There are some interesting things going on in Arkansas. A poly-accepting group of Torah observant prepper types is drifting that way due to the influence of a YouTube creator named Joe Fox. His channel is called Viking Preparedness. You should check it out.
I’ve watched a good number of his vids. He has good content. I didn’t know that SM was plural accepting group.
Idaho is beautiful, as a matter of fact that's where my wife and I got married. The only thing I have against Idaho is some of the extremist groups especially around Sandpoint basically northern Idaho.
A friend of ours used to live in McCall Idaho and he told me at the end of his Road there was polygamist groups that just wanted to be left alone, so be prepared to get stopped, he told me if you drove down the road far enough somebody would be out there to greet you and ask you, what are you doing can I help you find something? Lol
Beautiful territory beautiful!!

He accepts it. It's not a big part of his ministry and he's told me he thinks it's not expedient but he accepts it's Lawfulness.

We will pray! We need to get someplace remote with fresh air.
Yes please!!
If you roof and side the house with steel roofing you'll essentially get a faraday cage; except the windows. I'd suggest tieing it all together to a ground rod. Windows is more tricky, shutters or specially made blinds could do it.
A lot of western states have very sparse cell coverage. Montana, Wyoming, western Dakotas, probably parts of Colorado and the 4 corners states. Same for northern MN/WI/MI. Many rural areas also will have pockets with poor cell reception.

This will change into the future however with 5G cellphone transmission from greater numbers of towers, and low-orbiting satellites. Setting up some sort of farraday cage arrangement, even if imperfect, is probably prudent at least on new builds.
It will change some yes, as the cell tower topography will change. But 5G requires even more towers. Places that don't have towers now don't because it wasn't economical to put them in. This will likely be all the more true with 5G. Although I've not studies the 5G issue in depth.
