Searching For Klickitat County Doomsday Prepper Properties

By Jerish Thieman


In these uncertain times, there are many reasons why people become "doomsday preppers." While some might find prepping to be extreme, there is something to be said for being prepared for many types of disasters or even a huge economic collapse. In modern times, we are highly dependent on others for our survival, and preppers are those who seek self-sufficiency so that they are ready for any eventuality.

Many preppers seek isolated locations, either as bug-out options or they choose to live there permanently. Finding off grid land that is ideal for a survival scenario can be difficult, but Klickitat County, Washington, is an excellent spot for a prepper or survivalist. Largely rural with no large cities, much of Klickitat County real estate is isolated and private, which is precisely what a doomsday prepper needs.

When choosing a doomsday prepper property, there are many things to consider. If this is a bug out location, you need to consider how easy it will be to evacuate to the site should a situation occur. It's wise to consider selecting a spot within fairly easy driving distance, a place you might be able to reach using a single tank of gas if necessary. Klickitat County is a good option for those who live in or near to Portland, Seattle or Vancouver.

Doomsday prepper properties are best when they offer you many natural advantages, and one survival item that no one can live without is water. While access to a river or lake is ideal, you also are wise to choose a location where a well or wells can be dug. A water collection system is essential, and you need to learn how to treat and store water properly. This is a resource that you will need for drinking, cooking and bathing as well as watering crops or gardens and maintaining livestock. Do plenty of research on the property to ensure that it can support your water needs.

As a prepper, you know how important it is to have food stores and probably already have a great deal of food on hand. To supplement your stored food, hunting is a good option, and there are many species you can hunt in Klickitat County. Wild turkey, pheasant, partridge and other game birds are plentiful and you can hunt for elk and deer, and even cougar and bear can be found. Every county has its regulations about hunting, so do a bit of research about the laws in Klickitat County prior to your hunting excursions.

Doomsday prepper properties in Klickitat County also are often ideal for the growing of crops. Before you make a purchase, it is wise to consider the quality of the soil for growing food and also whether or not it can support various types of livestock. Many pieces of Klickitat County real estate are excellent options for those who wish to live completely off the grid and have a self-sustainable lifestyle.
