Security of people comes from being pretty secluded and rifles lol. We have a lot of fridges and a freezer to store food, and planning in future to
dig an underground food store, because it keep it cooler.
There is also a lake nearby for water, hence the boats. The road to get all the way up there is highway, and then goes off into gravel road, and THAT
goes off onto a beaten path, so its not too noticeable. Also the bugs are no worse than at my house! Very few there.

Up north there is so much unuse land that you could build and no one notice. We just happen to have a land from someone who had before, so it is not
perfectly secret.
I have plans for it of course with walls and to make everything solar power! Dont cha know the only way to beat Odin is to trick him or be in his
favour!!

Rain water is safe to drink because it is not 'standing' water. But we boil it just in case. If it sits in a barrel it is subject to parasites and
bacteria again. But when just fell it is very clean and safe acidity.

It is under my friends' name not mine but we can all contribute. So he owns it. It is not middle of nowhere but a good distance to closest gas
station even.

Never! You can get logs, practice building wherever you are, and if you live in a secluded place no one will even know, so your land is secret!

one pot, very easy to do!

Very few people in vicinity and the poor and homeless in big cities have no way of getting up there... but the odd violent drifters we have rifles
for. Also, economic depression did not hit here hard! our dollar is surpassing USD

Correct we have generator! But I plan on putting solar panels on the water-shed roof and hope to have all self-sustained by 2011 at least.

i remember seeing it for sale a few years ago and it was over a million dollars...and that was apparently before the guy who has it now, fixed it up a
bit if i remember correctly, it's in wyoming. so if yellowstone caldera popped, you'd probably survive but have to dig your way out. lol it has
a huge lift and conveyor belt too, if recall. the lift is for putting in and removing large pieces of equipment, like generators and kitchen
appliances
these crazy people bought an old atlas e. missle silo, turned it into a home and are selling it for 2.3 million. place is gigantic, even has its own
airstrip lol

Detroit has plots of lands and houses for sale for a few hundred $$ to a thousand. I say we pool our resources and buy up a city block. Concrete the
whole thing off and create our own ATS clubhouse!

i'm allergic to michigan.  seriously. i dunno what blooms or floats around in the air there, but every spring/summer, i'd be sneezing
constantly with big puffy red eyes and every winter i'd have one bronchial infection after another. lucky to have gotten outta there alive.

Wrong. Everyone else will be underground. Above ground would be the safest place in that case.
2. It's really grubby and could use a good clean up
To keep away the snobs. Again, a unique method of ensuring personal safety.
3. Ill bet your kids hate you for being paranoid and making them live in the woods like they are in the 19th century.
Kids will like what they're told to like. Or they can live udnerground with the povs. oO
4. lol
Profit???
5. if armageddon does happen, I can't think of a single reason why I would want to live through it.
All the more food for us then ! Leave the key under the doormat, and make sure you keep the fridge running after you go.

I never knew that. Interesting.
I would have thought they were as leafy as most other plant foliage. We used to have a vine, never thought of it.
Cool.

You have all done a great job of getting things set up, tidiness is important in such a situation though.
And, your kids wouldn't hate you. We lived that way for a number of years while our children (5 sons) were growing up. After a couple of years we did
get electricity, which we all enjoyed (especially when getting up before daylight for school). They loved having the whole outside as a yard, and
learned the area for miles around through explorations. Most people don't believe them when they tell about how they grew up. They weren't couch
potatoes and they know living without modern bs is easier than most think. Kids growing up that way are more able to face the realities/difficulties
in life and still be able to keep peace of mind.
As for my husband and myself, we've only had running water in our home for the last 2 years, we collected rainwater for most purposes. Drinking water
we imported from relatives (because it was easiest), however, setting up a distillation station isn't really that hard, you should really look into
that, safe water is important.
Time to get offline, keep up the good work.
See ya,
Shea

Lol!! that would be too cool, a city just for us, and we can declare independence from any country  and we will call it Petoria! I tried Peterland
but the gay bar down by the airport already took it
reply to post by SheaWolf
Well tidiness is not so important, as knowing where things are. As long as its organised into messyness it will work haha.
And again I dont have kids you can look at my age in my profile...
Not to say I havent had girlfriends younger who already had kids *cough*

Nice enthusiasm, but to be completely honest I think this whole plan will fall to pieces if ever something really happens. Do you honestly think that
whole thing is all going to work in a comprimised situation? I can just imagine water leaking into one of those under cover sections, or you not being
able to go from one spot to another due to outdoor conditions..

I would be concerned, obviously not knowing the details of your arrangement, by a couple of things.
i) I don't know how many people this designed for. Are you all singing from the same song-sheet so-to-speak? Are you all agreed as to how the
enterprise moves forward or are you at the mercy of an "overlord"?
ii) How much physical expenditure would be required in collecting lake-water worst-case scenario?
iii) More worst case; what sort of redundancies have been factored for vis. the fridges and freezers, generators, fuel supplies, wind, solar etc.?
iv) Is this "Bug Out Location" close enough for you to get to within a couple of hours?
Most of these questions I am sure you have already addressed. I ask them because I don't think the other readers are interested in the detail that
has to go into something like this. Yes, it looks very pretty, but you know more than anyone the level of work that is required to attain this. I fear
that some reading this thread have adopted the "magic wand" approach.
