I am back in Colorado after a 10 year respite. All Dangerous aspects aside I love it, feel safe living here, and will always come back here.

The mountains are rich with resources. If I have to eek it out and can get to a particular spot in the mountains, I’m going and never leaving. The amount of animals is incredible. It’s easier to get water in the mountains. If you are going to be bored you might as well be surrounded by beauty.

I don't think Denver is a huge target in the grand scheme of things.

Water is a problem. Store it, have a plan. Drought is my biggest concern right now.

People in Colorado are prepared. You can be alot of miles from anywhere in a hurry, we have places called "Last Chance" and "No Name" for a reason. You better believe these people are prepared.

You will get comfortable here quickly. Every place has its own set of circumstances. The weather is hard to beat.

Snow, it’s not that bad. Snow comes down in feet and melts the next day because it’s back up to 70*. A key to surviving in snow is to know how your vehicles respond to it. Spend some time in a parking lot after a snow and get used to how it feels to be out of control. Soon you will never truly be out of control. Practice, practice, practice.

Unimog Guy, do you actually have one? I wish I did.
