Clearly not everyone died during the Potato famine some managed to survive,... but thats a good point and does drives it home, not to put all our hopes into one box
Not everyone was sent from Scotland to far flung places, many were simply turfed out and had to make do,... only the better laids paid for their tenants passage abroad,... many simply hoped they would die off away from their land, no crofter could afford passage to America
yes, but they had to build new homes as you said, thats my point, we need shelter out of the wind, rain and cold, we cannot survive "going native" in the woods, we either have to build new dwellings of one form or another or use existing abandoned structures. thats why i dont think going nomad-as someone said on another thread- is feasible either.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
