Ha. . My 30 miles is by the crow flies. It takes about an hour drive from where I am at. Bolivar is not what it used to be. You know Roll Over got filled in? No more fishing there. Our Beach Property is not far from there.
Hubby and I would go camp on the unrestricted beach on the Bolivar Peninsula when we were young. Haven't been down there in nearly 20yrs, wonder how much it has changed?
Welcome. Former Dallasite and Austinite here...although it has been many years. I think both have grown immensely since I lived there, and I know Austin has gotten crazier...although I was maybe closer to Round Rock than downtown Austin. Where are the good places to live in Texas as far as a prepper is concerned?
I'm kind of an East Texas guy. I like the green. Wife was more of a Hill Country gal...but the lack of water worries me.
As it is, we had to leave Texas for my job. Maybe the birth certificates of our kids will get us back in some day.
I'm reminded of an old saying when Gunsmoke was popular on TV, "Just so the world doesn't fall apart while I'm watching Gunsmoke." Yeah, I keep hearing that Trump is going to pull our arse out of the fire", my question is, if he couldn't do it the first time what makes you think another four years will do any good. Politics is just like pouring gasoline on a fire. I'm with you on trying to help people prep, especially since the price of doing anything, prepping wise, is really getting expensive, I'm helping some friends get a small solar backup system together and a lot of the things that are vital, like the golf cart batteries, have more than doubled in price since we completed our solar standby system in 2019. You've found a good place to be, people here are level headed and things run on an even keel, never seen anyone get ticked off to the point of wanting to tear someones throat out.
I grew up with grandparents driving me from Houston to Freeport just for 1 day every summer. I love the beach. Husband won’t go. Said he has seen it once. His Aunt and Uncle had a beach house in Galveston and he went fishing with them.

It can be confusing sometimes. That’s why I say piney woods. But I am west of piney woods. I am central east Texas. I live on land I grew up on. It does get broken up different way by different groups. I love being a Texan. I was born is San Antonio while my dad was in Army and mom taught in Garwood. Moved here when I as 9 months old.
Neither can we!!
If you are not in the panhandle, on the coast, near Lubbuck, or near Louisiana, you are in........ CENTRAL TEXAS!!
