Any advice on what I need to know about country living/owning property?
I was born in the country and with most of my life in a country setting. I don't know if anyone mentioned this already so forgive me if somebody did as I did not read everyone's post. My biggest suggestion is to buy a gun or two of them, one pistol and one rifle. If you're not already familiar with how to use guns, get yourself familiar with them. You're out in the country and the police aren't going to show up right away. Everyone else out there is going to have a gun and you need to protect yourself and your property. Post the property with no trespassing signs immediately.
Also, lock up everything. A lot of people think because they find stuff out in the country they can have it even if it's in your garage or your shed or in a car sitting out somewhere. That is my advice.
