Well someone has to stand on a bridge somewhere waiting for FEMA to bring them a blanket, a bottle of water and a MRE so that the ‘Lamestream’ news anchors have their money shots for their broadcast. Glad to see there are volunteers like yourselves. As for me and mine I will provide.

Subsistence here in Alaska makes the paycheck go so much further. From hunting that provides most of your meat, setting fish nets for salmon when they come through, to having a huge garden that provides all the vegetables you need, to heating with firewood which is free, and all the other rural activities that cut your expenses (that people in urban areas just can't do to the degree we do). It's not how much you make that counts as how much you spend that matters.

I'd hate to be enslaved in urban America (where everything costs) with inflation coming. People get to thinking enslavement to the system where you can't control how much it takes to survive; is just how it really is everywhere; not true.

We have 2 kids in school, no loans, or aid. We could never do it if we lived in an urban area driving 2-3 new vehicles, spending all those bucks just to survive in that system to make the bucks it takes to stay alive. No joke folks, everybody needs to take a look at the game they are chasing.

Another thing to think about: how are you going to get at your fresh water and MRE’s if they’re under water, reduced to ash and steam, or buried under rubble? Granted, if you live in cave this may not be an issue provided that the roof doesn’t collapse and it doesn’t flood. There may be some old missile silos that are more affordable properties, but is someone that well prepared going to have a family that can put up with being in his company 24/7 for an extended period of time?
