2 miles from a town of aroud 1500... It has a gas station and a workable grocery store. 6 miles to the nearest Walmart, 30 miles to anywhere that has things like lowes or Home Depot. Almost 100 miles exactly from my driveway to Springfield, MO, Batesville, AR, Conway, AR or Springdale, AR. My nearest neighbor is a farm hand who owns his trailer house sitting in the old water melon field by my house to take care of the turkey barns on the other side of him. 2nd nearest is my mom down in the big house abut 1/4 mile away for the crow and 1/2 mile for the car. Plenty of room too shoot safely if I can convince the cows to stay on the other side of the woods. I live on the top of the hill though so shooting rifles out my back door unless I'm aiming for the waterline of the pond behind my house is probably a bad idea unless I'm intending to send a bullet down the hill to borrow a cup of flower from the guy that lives a mile or so behind me... Yea I reckon that's rural enough.
Just moved from a place where I only had 2 acres and could throw rocks at about 3 of my neighbors if I wanted too. Luckily my buddy owned a bit of land about 2 miles away and the forest service range was only 25 or so. It was 12 miles to a 24 hour gas station and 40 miles to a grocery store there though. I just don't do larger places for a home well, I get enough city life at work..
