Default Re: Preparations and Planning n Living in Communities

Look, the reality is you may not be able to stay stationary. You may need to go to ground or be mobile. You cant exactly tow your better equiped house around, but dried fruits, and meat can be mobile. We learned that from the native americans.

What you say about rescue is true. We must deliver ourselves. It wont be without conflict and making do with less till things quite a bit. This is pretty standard per history, the only real lessons we have to go by. We also can look at survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasake while preparing a shelter. One site link I found on here is highly accurate and very informative but said nothing about a table and blnket, more like cinder blocks and lots of water storage. Not everybody melts if your far enough down with adequit air filtration and stores built up.

Wells are handy things and do not need electicity to use, only a working knowledge of pumps and how to build or obtain one.

As far as poo goes, if you dont know enough to take a slops can out and bury its contents, I just dont think theres any help for you. Help yourself, thats the key here. No rescue beyond what you can do for yourself. Necessity is the mother of invention, eh? Someone will eventually come up with a betteralternative. Till then, we have to adapt and learn to be flexable.

The other thing is this, You can learn everything there is to know about farming but if you have no seeds to plant, your still in trouble. Or the crops are nearly ready to havest but that pack of roving marauders stole every edible you were going to eat because you simply didnt buy a gun nor ammo. No wild west days for you! Wood heat is better than freezing, pioneers knew this else youd not be here bemoaning the fact that you may need to utilize a few of their skills to live.

Rolling over just cause you cant have your amenities should not be an option. Are we that weak and soft now we must just die because theres no internet or flush toilets? Good gracious.
