Costa Rica´s Best Guide Online Magazine

Add to that the fact that most of the Costa Ricans in those areas are adept at growing their own food and living off the land. This means they are not going to be desperate city dwellers out to get to your supplies and can instead be a good source of skilled help and an option for a variety of barter deals.

THESE ARE SOME FEATURES THAT WOULD MAKE A PARCEL OF LAND IDEAL FOR A PREPPER COMMUNITY, DESIGNED TO ENHANCE SELF-SUFFICIENCY AND SURVIVABILITY IN THE EVENT OF A TEOTWAWKI ( THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT ) SCENARIO:

1. WATER SOURCES:

NATURAL SPRING OR WELL: A RELIABLE, YEAR-ROUND SOURCE OF CLEAN WATER IS PARAMOUNT. A NATURAL SPRING OR WELL WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE RELIANCE ON EXTERNAL WATER SUPPLIES. RIVER OR STREAM: WHILE SURFACE WATER MAY NEED PURIFICATION, A FLOWING WATER SOURCE OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR IRRIGATION, FISHING, AND POSSIBLY EVEN HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATION ON A MICRO SCALE.

2. ARABLE LAND:

FERTILE SOIL IS CRUCIAL FOR GROWING FOOD. THE LAND SHOULD BE SUITABLE FOR VARIOUS CROPS AND IDEALLY HAVE AREAS FOR ORCHARDS AND LIVESTOCK GRAZING.
