and for example, if you think you are going to need to flee by vehicle, why not grow a lot of your food in a greenhouse, but put that greenhouse on a trailer so it is ready to go etc??
I have lined my camper with plastic, so the majority of it is a greenhouse, without ruining the interior of the camper... and it has a dehumidifier on the outer area of the greenhouse etc.
We have a few solar panels and deep cycle batteries...

But what if you shift again...and all of this stuff is gone? There is no camper, you don't live in Canada, no solar panels,, or dehumidifier no greenhouse!
Or does it not work that way?edit on 20-8-2012 by destination now because: (no reason given)

You're funny.
Many many people have already changed their lifestyles with survival in mind.
I live in the country. I have a big garden and all the tools to build or fix just about anything. I raise chickens for eggs.
It's a great life.

this is actually extremely easy to answer:
so long as the cops haul your rear to prison for squatting, a SHTF lifestyle just won't work. there are lots of conventions in place today that range from ridiculous but still detrimental things like hemp prohibition to very real limitations on movement and things like taxes where people will demand money, which you'll have to obtain somehow or again, you're off to buttrape Inc.
The Branch Davidians in Waco probably tried this to an extend, didn't end so well, did it?

sure, do whatever you can get away with now, but the final steps will have to wait until the fan has been hit - as the saying goes: proper preparation prevents p**s poor performance.
