not to for get the ones that are already there and do not want you me or any one come a knocking. Yes i know a few that have done just that, more in the last week or so, going to the hills , tell me "your not welcome., had your chance", to them i say well if need be i will take them hills from you or try too, if that is the only place left. I should tell you what to look out for , but then you should know, here is a hint, look for trip wires and such. this is no joke, watch you step in them hills UT AK TN AK OK

I see your trip wires and raise you a punji pit!

Seriously, we had the electric go out one summer so no AC. My son-in-law and daughter were visiting and he said he'd rather DIE than live without AC. I laughed because it's so patently absurd a statement but then I realized he was being deadly serious. What a wuss! And I told him so. Good grief, our generation lives better even in poverty than most of the rest of the world. We live better than kings of former generations. Fortunately, my daughter has helped him see the need for survival skills and he's coming around slowly.

My family knows where I stand: You're welcome to join me and benefit from my skills, knowledge and experience but there will be no whinning and everyone pulls their weight.

Your last paragraph is great. We all need to be like that now...not later. I hope you never have to put your knowledge to the test.

you hit on a good point there, people in isolation will not get the flu and such things like that, those are sicknesses that are given to you by other people. my whole year alone I never got sick one time, never.

Wow, your man is lucky! My woman isn't quite that way, but she isn't like the other woman where camping is a resort or cabin

lets all hope it never ever comes about. It wont be like any movie, as you know from Alaska, and it wont be romantic either.
This notion of running away from trouble is just something I think we see too much from entertainment. My dad got tired of the rat race in 69 and we moved off grid. For me it was a way of life, Its not something you just jump into in this century. Too many conveniences have made life way too easy.
all just MHO
