killamch89 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 To be honest, this is a rather tough one but I'd rather live on the beach because I'm used to living within the vicinity of a beach and it's pretty awesome especially watching the sunset. What's your pick and why?
The Blackangel Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) When I was a kid, I would take a hatchet, survival knife, and a .410 into the woods and rough it usually for about a month. Sometimes even longer. I would build my own shelter, purify my own water, and hunt/fish my own food. I absolutely loved doing it. Obviously I can't now. But remembering that, I remember always wanting a cabin that was way back in the woods. So far back that you thought my driveway was a side road. I have the same feeling today.

Reality vs Adventure Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 That's a hard one. With beaches you have to worry about hurricanes and beached whales. lol. The forest has too many skeeters, and predators. There is something magical about both worlds. So I would take a cabin in the woods close to the beach where no hurricanes go, like the Mediterranean Sea. Then head off to a village and soak the culture. Then I pick up a newspaper and read about the Dumb Plague that has wiped out the minds of everyone in my old country.

I totally get it and maybe it has something to do with life experiences - I grew up near to the beach and you at one point, stayed in the woods so we picked what we were most familiar with. 1 hour ago, Reality vs Adventure said: That's a hard one.

It's not fun when one hits and the work to clean up the yard and move the debris/fallen trees/ rooftops blocking the road is time-consuming but it's something that I've come to terms with.
ZandraJoi Posted June 6, 2021 Posted June 6, 2021 This is a tough one for me as well. I love the beach (note my avatar lol). If the beach were secluded & my own private island with warm weather & palm trees, that would be ideal. On the other hand, I love the woods & being self-sufficient. Tough choice here. I think I would lean more towards the beach for the tropical feel.

It's so much fun to go on the beach and just meditate as well - the cool air always feels nice no matter what time of the day and the waves are so soothing to hear in the nights.
