    It's a tough choice isn't it. I was lucky, no wife, no dependents, no need for income from work, the decision was easy.

    Nothing worse than mutant ninja zombies wanting to crush one's assignment efforts, only to starve for a lack of brainz.

    So true, no place is truly 'hidden.' How do you plan to handle squatters if they’ve already claimed your retreat by the time you arrive?

    Some Thoughts About Defending Your Retreat

    Defending a retreat location is more than just securing a property; it's about ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of unexpected events. One of the most important principles is situational awareness—knowing your surroundings, access routes, blind spots, and escape options.

    In any retreat defense plan, layered security is key. That includes:

    Physical barriers (fencing, natural obstacles)

    Early warning systems (motion sensors, dogs, alarms)

    Preparedness training for everyone on-site


    Moreover, strategic resource storage can reduce the need for frequent supply runs, keeping you safer and less exposed. Water purification systems, off-grid power, and backup communication tools are essential.

    Finally, community trust can often be more powerful than weapons. Build a strong, reliable network with those you trust to defend and maintain the retreat collectively.

    In my Ideal fantasy world.
    There are about 100 folks that work as a family attending to regular assignments, Bunkers above and below ground with as much equipment as it takes to maintain life for all.
    I have a whole economic system for the distribution of responsibilities and credit/pay so that every ones time is accounted for.
    Skills are shared and certain individuals will be tasked with security inside and out and even foraging among the ruins.
    Farming and facility up keep and repairs and development, administrative and security surveillance. And of course, medical personnel under constant training and research.
