What a beautiful setting and a great bug-out-location, Rumblon.
Nothing wrong with downsizing, I live in about a 3600 sq ft home now, and am looking forward to moving into the rather small place I知 currently building. The home I live in now will suck a tank of propane a month during a bitter cold winter. But the place I知 building has barely used 10% in over 2 months of heating. It won稚 even use that once I install a wood stove. I plan on high fencing (to keep the deer out) and planting a large garden this spring. I知 also looking into making my own power. I would love to produce my own electricity.
