Summary: The idea of creating a retreat or "place of refuge" to go to during a disaster is common in modern survivalism. For me, it is an idea that has some attraction but that is also a bit out of reach for some people. In this episode (the first in a three-part series) I talk about some of the considerations in trying to secure a property to serve as a retreat, as well as the various factors one should think through before making a purchase. I also discuss some of the potential dangers that would cause someone to want a separate retreat and a number of questions to ask yourself and your family before taking the plunge. Part Two of this series will cover "Mobile Retreats" and Part Three will be on the subject of "Group Retreats".
