"Would it be possible to live the lifestyle you want, where you want, at your current age, health, fitness, injuries, family, etc? "
IMHO this is a very important question and we must be honest in our self-analysis.
20 years ago I would literally sleep overnight on the ground beside a stream to secure my spot at the start of trout season. Some years it was about -5 degrees C overnight. Didnt phase me, I loved it and caught some nice fish. Could I do that now? Doubt it.
Another example: me and my daughter go camping every year. Every year I notice I have less energy- thankfully my daughter is older too and now she is a huge asset.
I plan on bugging in as long as possible, and this scenario seems ok. We've been without power for weeks at a time after hurricanes and managed. but there werent people trying to kill us either.
realistically with our small family group i dont think we'll make it long without joining forces with some others. whos going to maintain security while i'm on the lou, sleeping, eating or sick/injured? what are we going to do against a marauding gang of say 5 armed men?
humans have ALWAYS grouped together for mutual safety and I think after SHTF it will be the only way to survive LONG TERM.
