I got to thinking about this one today. Simply put we all have parts of our overall life situation we are not willing to change. Maybe it is the house in the burbs or the pretty good job in a slightly too large for comfort city or the region you are staying in because of family ties, I don't know we've all got something.
My point is not that these situations are ideal but that there are often some parts of our life we are not willing to change. Lots of folks will talk about the wisdom and benefits of changing these things. Sometimes we just aren't willing to make the sacrifices necessary for a certain thing to change.
Instead of giving up I encourage you to think out of the box and do the absolute best you can to prepare. Instead of living full time at an isolated farm in a rural area you can probably have a fully stocked camper ready to go and a couple acres 50 miles away from home in the middle of nowhere. Maybe you can build a shed at your uncles farm and keep some stuff there.
This is just one possible situation but the point is to do the best you can regardless of the situation you choose to be in.

Good point! Even small steps are better than no steps at all!
Do what you can, when you can...and just keep plugging away!
"Instead of living full time at an isolated farm in a rural area you can probably...."
Amen! Finally! You just said what's been on my mind for months. Personally, I'm growing weary of the "you need to move to northern Idaho, purchase 150 acres, get some solar panels, and dig a well" mentality. Yes, that is an ideal to strive for, but it is not realistic for many Americans. America is comprised of struggling single moms, severely disabled vets, elderly folks in nursing homes, college kids in dorms, people on military bases, etc. It would be physically, logistically, and financially impossible for some people to move to Idaho (or wherever), get the 150 acres, the mule, etc.
We are doing the best we can for our particular living situation. Do I want to move to Idaho (or some other remote area)? Hell, yeah! Sign me up! But I don't want to say "see ya'" to my precious dying grandfather, I don't want to see my husband's stable job left in the dust, I don't want to leave the region I know and love, blah, blah, blah.
TOR, thanks. Thanks for saying what I've wanted to say for months. I feel so much better now.
Signed,
Not giving up just thinking outside the box
