The American Indian (Or Native Americans if one prefers the politically correct version) had survival skills handed down through the generations. They were a tough hardy people with survival smarts built into them. Learning started out as a small child. Life was tough, but they endured.
These clowns in Colorado are just that. Sorry to see them dead, but they were totally ignorant of off grid living.
I think now we prefer to be known as “First Amaricans” at least that is what they tell me at the council house.
Probably one of the first things they learned was to move out of the mountains and down onto the plains in autumn.
