Thanks Ian, I make one a week and this was it. I'll tell ya, last night I had a dream of my family and I on a sailboat. Outside of pirates, I think that may be something to consider...solar water stills, plenty of abundant sea life to eat, very low populations of people.....I don't know shit about sailing, but I see I can a get a 30-35' Catalina or like for 5-8K...I live on the bay, if I can get one with a raised keel as outback is maybe 3ft in winter, I'm gonna do it. Now who can teach me to sail? lol...
Yes, the go carts have Teflon coated bowls for the nights we pillage the Chinese buffets....
Sean, good point on the well. I'd buy, borrow or steal as many 55 gallon drums as you can, fill them w/ h20 and bury them. Or one of those reservoirs use on farms. If you're gonna stay put, water, food and ammo buddy....along with beef jerk, gun porn and bourbon
The possibility of surviving via the sea has crossed my mind too, my in laws are 4 generations deep in shrimping and that could be invaluable to our family's survival during a long term catastrophe.
They live on the water, a river, with quick access to the Gulf, I don't know how much of what they do relies on electronics now though. Need to get with them and wrap the shrimp boat in foil at some point.
The more I think about it, the more I think that where they are is probably a pretty damn good location for me to make my way towards if things go wrong.
