killamch89 Posted June 4, 2021 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted June 4, 2021 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
