In fact, one wonders how many thousands of other people did the same, but were never discovered or were not as successful at survival! Considering that Stalin murdered maybe 30,000,000 people, this can be considered a miracle and needs to be read in that light (not dwelling on how "different" the people are, as if that were the point.)
Riveting.
Thanks.
The television part confuses me - did they really have TV towers out there at camp?
Preppers should read this who thing bugging out will be like an extended camping trip. The man did what he thought he needed to for his family to survive the progressives that took over. He could have stayed and fought and been less than a footnote in history.
I felt like going to a place like that on 7 November 2012.
Ping.
A most interesting post, one I shall remember for many a year. We are the products of what we allow into our minds, and because of their self imposed exile, the Lykov family kept themselves filled with the love of Christ.
Amazing how quickly three of the children succumbed after the outside world invaded their privacy. They say the children died of kidney failure due to their harsh diet, yet I wonder if in fact the kidney failure was brought upon them by the introduction of new fluids that they consumed which their system had never been exposed to before.
After all, they had the purest of water at their disposal for 40 years. So I find it difficult to believe they all of a sudden died from the harshness of their living conditions after meeting the outside world.
Thanks again for bringing this to our attention. As I said, I shall remember this family, and this post for many years.
