What's your most desired BOL land feature?

[NT2C]

Yep, That's what my pancakes look like 

You needed to mix that batter a little more.

[Mr. E. Monkey]

Looks like he got a bubble in that batter.

Right, different pancakes. I´ve been wondering the entire morning how a crepe has a gentle rise in the middle.

edit: I think the term I was looking for was mountain range.

Pancakes:



Think, "thick crepe"

Here's a list if BOL requirements:

Proximity.
Isolation.
Availability of Water.
Self-Sufficiency.
Sound Structure.
Security/Self Defense.
Waste Management.
Protection from Natural Disaster.
Familiarity. 
Longevity. 
Affordability. 
Easy to understand legalities. 

I always watch all the Alaska shows. And most recently Port Protection. It's about people that live on the southern coast of Alaska. 

I always looked at middle of nowhere Alaska as the best bol. Lower risk of people coming to try to take what you have. As your far from civilization. And there are plenty of resources between you and anyone looking. There is actually enough wild game to sustain a small family. Unlike most areas of the conus. At least within a few years of a meltdown. All the millions living in urban areas will fan out and use those up.

But then I started watching this Port Protection show. And I can see the advantages of living next to the ocean. Even on one of the many islands. There are hundreds. Large and small. Seafood and other found resources are plentiful. And easier to get physically than say hunting in the woods. Although the deer population is good in those areas on the mainland. And few of these places are very far from there. 

The drawback is everything requires fuel to drive a boat. But I guess rowing would still be easier than having to traverse mountain ranges to find food. 

The soil is terrible. But locals have figured out how to supplement there soil with found resources. Powdered lime stone, sea shells, etc etc. 

There is plenty of firewood washing up on shore daily. 

The jury is still out for me in terms of rural Alaska vs coastal Alaska. But I'm convinced there are few areas within the conus as good for bugging out. It just seems like you would be in such reliance on natural resources that conus areas would not be survivable for very long. 
And in terms of security Alaska would be the furthest from people you could get.

But it falls short in proximity. You would need to live there already.

I want to add: Proximity to a good pizza place or Chinese restaurant (or both) that delivers.

There are so many things I would want if I could actually get them. The points about water are very good, though as mentioned, there are few places where water can't be had in some form or fashion.

My poorly planned ideal consists of space. A lot of space and separation from others, preferably via woods, rocks, hills, or drops. With space, I think all of the necessities for survival can be achieved, presuming the space is variable enough to provide water, food, resources, and arable land.

Yeah. Space. I would love 30+ acres. 300 would be even more incredible. But a guy's gotta dream.
