• Listen to the sounds of birds and nature.
• Have easy access to hunt and fish.
• Enjoy the scenic beauty of a rural landscape.
• Have fires and burn things whenever I want.
• Not have the stress of traffic and overly aggressive government enforcement.
• Generate some of my own energy and grow or harvest some of my own food.
• Have machinery and toys to explore and fully utilize my land.
