I guess I should tell you a little about myself. I am extremely proficient in hunting, fishing, and practical woodland survival, as I have been an outdoorsman since I was very little. I am also a trained electrician, and can offer up advice on solar photovoltaic systems, and other alternate energy systems, as well as any automations that you might dream up. I consider myself a "practical prepper" and haven't made any drastic changes to my lifestyle, or my family's, but I consider myself as making practical preparations for any coming catastrophes. My biggest worry is economic collapse, and my "end of the world" involves the U.S. government running out of money to give to the welfare leaches, and then their riots and lashing out against anyone, and anything in retaliation for not getting their free lifestyle.

Welcome from North Florida.
I grew up and lived for many years in Palm Beach County. The 50's thru the mid 90's.
"Very near Lake Okeechobee" covers a lot of area. Clewiston, Belle Glade, PeeHokee. I used to spend some lazy afternoons fishing at the locks at Port Mayaka.
In the 70's I ran a paint delivery route all around the Lake. Moore Haven, Lakeport, etc.
I used to stop at Pioneer Growers near Belle Glade and pick up bushels of corn for $6.

Sure was quieter back then. Yes I am a lifetime resident of Indiantown. I liked it better when I was a kid. Now, not as much.

Ok, sorry to be Snarky but you have said 3 things about where you live and I still have no idea about where you are.
Here in the USA we say State and City
This reference to county or general area are not going to cut it for me.
