Where's everyone bugging out to?

A lot of the things you want to do are going to be difficult without additional manpower. You will also need significant resources and time. It is possible but no easy.

Agreed.

You know how I am. I learn the skills, then jump in and embarke on a massive learning curve. The manpower thing shouldn't be a huge issue, as initially I only need to build a small room. Daily gym sessions, as well as good nutrition and the alike, will provide the majority of the manpower I need, to build a single small room. First room will be a little larger than a typical prison cell in Alcatraz. Enough for 2 beds side by side, enough to stand up and have a small jump. About as long as a 1.5 beds. Granted it won't be the Ritz, but it doesn't have to be. All it has to be is enough to keep me alive. Then once that is built, I can take a bit more time and expand the project into something beautiful. The initial room will then recieve a porch, which will become another room. The other room will be up against the longest side of my 'cell' house. After that, I'll have the option to expand the building more. I even have the option to build a whole new home, once my 'cell' is finished. Then I could end up turning my cell into like a garden shed haha.

Resources will be simple enough. Find me a pine forest and I'll find you plenty of food and water.

Time....yeah, I figured this much at least. I'll start off by building a simple corner wall like structure, then I'll add a space blanket wrap around to that, which will become a lovely reflective warmer, which will make the heat from a small fire even better. Also, a poncho will provide a water proof roof. After that, it's a simple case of getting out and doing what needs to be done.

Within about 10 days I should have 3 walls done and about 8-10 traps laid. But that is based on opinion and calculation. I'll be getting out in the woods at some point and trying it out on a felled log/tree and see how easily I can manipulate it into how I want it to be. Then I'll have a much better idea of time for the project.
