I spent almost 2 years doing the mountain man thing. I'm comfortable with a mid 1800s lifestyle, and know I can support it.

Heck, I'm starting seeds now to go out in the garden after Easter, including 180 tobacco plants. I don't spend much at the grocery store. I don't know the last time I bought meat at a store.

I’ve heard your stories.
I do believe them.

But face it, you are one in a thousand.

And your chances of surviving 6 months post-SHTF are certainly better than average, but not much.

Think about ten thousand people down the block who want to kill you.
Not just to kill you, but to kill you and eat you.

That’s what SHTF is about. I am sure you understand.

Impressive JR....I admire those who have managed to do life their way apart from the shuffle the world declares we jump step to.

I’m prepared for emergencies but not much more than that. During the storms of late I was set and comfortable knowing I could get by pretty much for a couple months if I had to.

But that’s not saying much compared to the guys on these threads. Still a year ago I couldn’t even had said this!

Some days dude, I’m just straight up jealous. I’m close, but not there yet.
