Huan72 687 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 If someone were gonna start prepping and take it seriously.....................a static site would generate a lot of interest from other people who would be intent on stealing/taking your stuff You would have to be damn sure you could defend your assets otherwise they are gonna disappear really quickly. It may be a better idea to plan for a mobile existence, to have everything you need in an easy to carry layout that you can grab quickly...........a kind of grab and go type thing Anyway just a thought, not that I have thought about it before 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It may be a better idea to plan for a mobile existence, to have everything you need in an easy to carry layout that you can grab quickly...........a kind of grab and go type thing Anyway just a thought, not that I have thought about it before It would be hard to survive in a mobile existence as you'd have to carry everything with you all the time. Best to have several caches well stocked in various places, well hidden. That way you don't depend entirely on your own strength to carry your gear with you. Unless you have a pony to do the carrying, but that would attract a lot of attention as well when people are starving and don't have any idea to even half live off the land. Just a thought, and I have thought about it before Would depend on where you live as well. My dad, during the second world war, found a family of German Jews living in a tree house in the Black Forest. They were well set up, and were undiscovered until my dad, who was a sniper and a hunter, found them towards the end of the war. I think he said that they were pretty much living off the land: mostly wild boar and deer. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unlacedgecko 1,466 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Financial collapse is the most likely IMO. Small holding type land with plenty of trees & off grid power is what im going for. Anyone know much about water wheel generators????? John Seymore has an excellent book on this sort of living. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-New-Complete-Book-Self-Sufficiency/dp/1405345101/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381776783&sr=8-2&keywords=john+seymour+self+sufficiency Quote Link to post Share on other sites
