Ah the summer-holidays and travelling to countryside :)
Here first are pictures of my girlfriends cottage near Russian border, featuring her parents.

And here is my familys place in central Finland.

Both places can be lived trough the winter, have little land and forest around them, plenty of fresh water and saunas.

Yes, central Finland in middle of lakes. Its the most beautiful time of summer here and waters are so warm to swim. Visiting those places really relief me of pessimism I gather from internet and give strenght and trust for future. Its good to know they are there and I hope you all have or will find similar place for yourselves. :)

I'll alert our "Euro-Reapers".

We tend to be so USA centric, we forget that Reaping will become an international phenomena.

Could you guys stock up on firewood? (They hate chopping firewood.) And any portable food would be appreciated.

Don't bother with any gardens or other sustainable infrastructure though... We tell them over & over, but when they get to Reapin, somebody always starts burning stuff, then the rest join in, and poof... bonfire.

Might as well go ahead a build a circle of death as well... it adds a certain ambiance to the mortal combat ya know?

EuroReapers... Quality Reaping Since 2007.

Thanks for the tip.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

:-D No reaping will happen here, trust me on that. But if you happen to pass by, I'll invite you for a homebrew cigarette and a cup of herbal tea. And you may have little firewood and fish if you help us to rebuild the barnhouse.
