Well you say that now but take away those conviences and see how you cope, it takes a different kind of person to live in isolation, i guess that is why i love my filas cause i really dont like being around people either lol, i tolerate them but i dont like it lol, its so quiet out here right in the fall, its like a ghost town with no tourists, i like winter as everyone is old in this town and stays indoors, no long walks for foo foo until spring, the streets are bare with the ocassional snow machine go by. No nothing in my town but the post office , bar , coffee shop/bakery, a little restaurant and a gas station, oh and everything closes around 6pm but being a small town of 600 we all know each other and borrow stuff from each other or catch a ride into town to save gas as its 1.35 per liter.
i miss being able to hop in the car and drive a couple blocks and go through a drive thru and order fast food lol or just go walk around the mall, when i go to big cities i have a list a mile long and im on a mission, no time for nothing but SHOP, 4 hour round trip drive and of course the dogs are at home by themselves cause were gone pretty much all day, ordering a pizza for delivery sounds cheesy i know but heh thats the conviences you give up for living isolated, big culture shock for big city folk lol people move here and most of them move back to the city after a year or less, most people cant handle the winters out here, roads get pretty bad so most of the time i never leave my town until spring unless i really really have to lol and dont get me started on living with HUGE dogs in isolated area , its hard to get dog food shipped in that you use and we pay through the nose if they do get it for you, no oline shipping from the US ship to canada and canadian pet food shippers charge by the pound basicaly to ship it to you through canada post, so i just gave up stuck with pedigree and buy alot of extra ground beef to supplement and they are also super con-artists and get peices of what ever we are eating, everything is homemade no processed stuff, so i would have to say you eat healthier in the mountains.
Its easy to say but harder to do, my friends from vancouver came for a weekend visit last year and she is a tim hortons coffee fanatic , no timmys here, so she bought a tim hortons coffee maker and a can of tim hortons coffee to bring with her, it cost like $300, they showed up friday afternoon and left sunday morning, she used it twice i think, shes a city girl and said its nice to visit but she couldnt move here, her husband didnt want to leave lol some like it some dont, if your not an outdoors type person then you would hate it lol.
