Let's see if I can elaborate...

The attempt to survive on your own is admirable and shows more thinking that most have done on this subject. However, I just wanted to extend that out to its logical conclusion: as a loaner, you trip, fall, break a leg. Who sets if for you? Who hunts for you while you heal?

Survival is not about just getting through the first year. I am talking about the next 20-30 years - and from then on, successive generations.

Your approach has the base level of the "heirarchy of needs" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow'...archy_of_needs ) taken care of, but there are some others above that that will, sooner or later, require your attention.
