how long after an event for things to die down

[bigpaul]

the trouble with porta cabins as i know by personal experience(working in them on building sites) is that they are horrendously cold/freezing! so you need a good log stove and in the winter that would have to be on 24/7, then of course you have the problem of wood smoke/smell giving away your location! also getting them to your location would be a nightmare, you would need a low loader and a crane to offload it. we had 3, set up in a line, they each had two doors so we could set up an internal walkway so we didnt have to go outside to get to the next one. you could also set them up in a square (if you had 4) so that you had an inner compound which is protected from the outside. i think that the logistics of getting them to your BOL would probably rule them out in anything but a TEOTWAWKI event.
