I didn't find a thread on this topic but I wanted to know your thoughts. I'd like to help out more than just myself, so thoughts that may not directly involve my situation are welcome.
We're in the market to buy a home, we want to have a self sufficient mini farm so we're looking for land that's at lest 5 acer. We've found wooded and cleared properties, and I'd love to have a house that's hidden by woods. But I'm worried about defence when your enemy can hide all over the place. On a cleared lot they'd see your house, garden, animals and what not, but you'd also see them. I'm more of the stay low type, so I think a mix of woods and clearing is a good idea. So what are your thoughts on 1-10 acer lots when it comes to being wooded or treed? (during shtf) I'm looking for offence and defence but any thoughts on the mater would be great.
