scenario.

[Mortblanc]

6 days; Finish the planting I already have started, fire up the candles and start on the book shelf to fill the hours I am now wasting on this infernal electronic machine. I am set up with 2,500 gallons of water, food is not a worry. Rotating out security duty with the neighbors.

6 months; Fire up the wood stove, autumn is here. Lay in the harvested veggies. Stretching the supplies with eggs from the hens, fish from the nearby lake, garden stock. The deer will be in rut and the shooting good. Probably need to put some more wood up for curing. The house will be full with the kids and grandkids settled in.

Other neighbors will have their extended families in and there would probably be an extensive farming effort taking place in the empty land surrounding us. The expanding village would probably hold about 150 people in 10-12 family units stretched over a mile of dead end road. Plenty to share the security and farm labor with.

6 years; Probably dead. I have a year of heart meds in stock, would probably make it through a second painful year and then the "big one" would take me out. If everything worked out as planned I would die happy with the kids/grandkids set up for their lifetimes with normal use of the equipment I would leave behind.
