Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How long have you lived in the same location?

Almost exactly half my life - 38.5 years.

39

This time - 33 years in June.
Dad & Mom bought this place in '65, I used to put up brome grass/alfalfa mix right where I now sit.
Town grew up to us.
Joy was born in what is now our ranch house 1/2/58.
Might say we've got roots.

On this ranch 26 years, ranch before this 30 years, ranch before 6 years, ranch before that one 5 years, born on a ranch 1939 lived there till 1957, I will die on this ranch. Rio7

We built a small (1300 sq ft) two story home in 1999. Did a lot of the work ourselves (painting inside and out, counter tops tiles, laminate and tile flooring). We were given 2.25 acres and my wife inherited 34 acres adjourning us. The land had been in the wife’s family 75 years when we got it. We got tired of moving to various places throughout the state in my career as an elementary school principal and school administrator. Early on, earned a reputation as a trouble shooter in my field and followed the money trying
to support my family and live on one income We moved in in 2000 and I hope to die here. Spent 14 months in specialty hospitals and nursing home following my bout with Covid in 2020. Nice to own a place where you can pee off the patio and shoot rifles in the backyard. Love seeing the critters passing thru and overhead. We live on the Alluvial Hills and across the road is the Mississippi Delta. When I slept upstairs, I could hear “The City of New Orleans” nightly on its run from Chicago to New Orleans. Canadian National took over the route. Indian mound where we can hunt artifacts is about 5 miles away as are other sites. Can’t stand concrete urban life and crowds. I was born 100 years too late.

9 locations during first 35 years. 32 years in current location. Bury me out back.

30 years. Hopefully I got one more move as I want to build a place up in the foothills. Want to live off grid . If I asked this same question, I would get criticized by the same couple members of asking too personal questions. I guess that’s their problem! Never been to Texas, but maybe one day. My ancestors founded a town called Cranfill Gap. I enjoy reading all your posts, you have skills and come across as a good person! Cheers ! Alan

16 years at current location.

35 years here.... had house built in 1988.

1st home we bought, 31 years, would like to stay, if things go south we would move if we had too.

12 years. It is the longest I have ever lived in on place in my entire life.

NE WI for 45 years now, current place for 13 years now. It's an 117 k coffin since moving from turkeys, white tail, and lots of raptors to anywhere else would suck bigly.

At the current address: 12 years
Within a mile of current address: 35 years
Within a 5 mile radius of the Channel 64 tower on the north side of Cincinnati: 65+ years

25 years on this ridgetop. 30 in this general area. The Mountains of NC are beautiful but sadly they have been "discovered". I like some people just fine but I never like crowds.

39 years...wow that went by fast!

24 years here
18 years before that in the house we built.
4 years before that in the first house we bought.
1.5 years leasing a house before that.
2 years in a 4 plex while we were in college.

Since Oct 72.

53 in July

Built this house 21 years ago. My next planned move is to a cemetery.

As a kid, from second grade ('57) until about '79.
After that, it was where ever.
Bought a house in 1992, sold it in 2002.
Took the money and built here in '02 and will probably die here. The land is an inheritance. Been in the family since 1904! We (the wife and me!) will never sell it! The kids? Who knows! But we won't know it!
