After a murder in our school, and a double murder in my father in law's school where he worked, I didn't feel safe letting my kids roam free either. We have since moved to the Netherlands and my kids really enjoy being able to walk down the street and use the bus and train system all by themselves. And bikes.. lots of bikes!! It's a huge weight off one's shoulders!Ronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096213034605839343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-43895429482379745742012-03-01T09:00:32.460-08:002012-03-01T09:00:32.460-08:00I commend you for making the changes you and your ...I commend you for making the changes you and your family sounds like you needed.tim nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362744209332872999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-59374809777655317982012-02-29T08:52:43.244-08:002012-02-29T08:52:43.244-08:00Of all of your posts this to me is the most tellin...Of all of your posts this to me is the most telling.

This also eventually effects one physical health too.

"it just wasn’t our reality.
You...Hey FerFal,<br /><br />"it just wasn’t our reality.<br />You see, that was something that was denied to us."<br /><br />As you maybe remember I do have kids like yours in age and we do live 2.5 blocks from shool.<br /><br />It is true that my wife brings the kids to shool and back home every day but not all parents do that.<br /><br />In fact it is more kids who walk by themselfs with their younger siblings like you said. <br /><br />Not that anything worse than a minor car accident has happened to any kid in this shool in the past 3 years. The locals are perfectly nice to children, in fact they are much nicier than any place in europe I have ever been.<br /><br />Try to use a public transportation like a bus or subway in germany with a noisy kid or a crying baby. They will not only not-help you, they will bully you and you might even be asked to leave at the next stop. No joke. Something like that is unimaginable here in south america. They reallllllly like kids.<br /><br />That said, maybe a 10m+ people city like B.A. has its own rules, just like london is not the same as wales.Maldekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691520628595107662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-5459902422673676942012-02-26T22:15:03.532-08:002012-02-26T22:15:03.532-08:00I can relate to that.

I finally moved to a different nation where I am not surrounded and outnumbered by unfriendly locals.<br /><br />As for living in in the wilderness after the SHTF, if it is someplace within a three days walk from the nearest city and the weather is not really hot or cold or wet, then expect to come across at least some refugees from there. As for coming across some one in remote wilderness, the more remote that wilderness is the more skillful that person probably is at his survival (wilderness and combat).<br /><br />KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-26356209338004973332012-02-26T17:48:53.305-08:002012-02-26T17:48:53.305-08:00I thought of you when I heard about the train cras...I thought of you when I heard about the train crash.
