I certianly grew up "rural" but myself or my family could not be classified as "hicks and hillbillies".

I also grew up in the desert (high desert to be specific) outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. Parents have a large ranch/farm that I worked on all through High School. Our backyard was National Forest with a good hundred miles or so of 9,000ft+ mountains and forest.

I shot my first gun at 8 or 9 and was riding horses around the time I learned to walk and although I'm a vegan now, I could still walk you through the process of skinning rabbits and rattlesnakes for food and how to properly secure just about ANYTHING to your truck/car using baling wire or tube cording.

All that being said, I love big cities and the country and am happy I get to spend my time split between the two pretty evenly. It's tough finding work as a Visual Effects Artist or 3d artist out in the boonies.
