Quote History Quoted:Quoted:
Alcatraz is an island. Rikers is an island. Islands make great places to keep people in -- not so good for keeping people out.
Wouldn't it be good for keeping people out for exactly the same reasons?
MN winters? No thanks!
This what I thought as well (keeping people out). The particular island I mention is not very accessible, but the lake has a small, shitty landing. We have been living here fr 4 years(?) now, and I have seen a duck boat on that lake ONCE. Size of this island is measured in square feet, not acres. Maybe 3k square feet of dry land. From our shore of the lake, you have about 150 yards until you get to the island. From the landing, about 700 yards.
Could pick people off a long way off. Yes, winter you can walk across, but there is still NO cover that you will have.
Just a thought as a place to back off to if things got bad at the homestead. Don't know who, if anybody, owns it. Willing to bet I could ready it without anybody knowing about it.
Shitty thing is, once there you are stuck. Not much for fish in the lake, and too small of an island to be self-supporting. Easy enough to stock rations there to last a few weeks, but you are EASILY trapped there if someone REALLY wanted to get you. Also, once we would leave, I suppose we would having nothing to go back to, as the island is only 1/3 mile from the house.
The more I think about it, the more of a death trap it seems.
Edit for clarification.
