Saws

[Mortblanc]

Yes BP I own both a caravan and a couple of chain saws, so I know the caravan can get cold if not properly winterized and the chain saws make noise.

I lived in a caravan for one full year while building one house a decade ago and I lived in the one I own presently for 5 months from October to February, 6 years ago, while remodeling the home I now live in. Our winters are much more bitter than any you can imagine and I made it just fine. If course I winterized the caravan, sealed the cracks and installed underpinning to keep the wind from under the floor.

One thing I can assure you is that a caravan is much more pleasant than a drafty dirt floored shack cobbled together from trash or logs in a desperate attempt to attain shelter. It is also self contained and only needs the addition of a few solar panels and a battery bank to be completely self supporting. Kitchen, bathroom, Shower, 12V electrics all in one package.

As for the chain saw making noise??? Yes, I am aware that a chain saw makes noise.

Who cares???

Do you think that your presence is going to go unnoticed? Smoke from your fires will not be seen? That you are alive long after an "event" so you must surely have food? That your vehicle is moved now and then so you must have fuel?? That no one will see you out foraging, follow your footprints home from the river, or hear you cough, a mile away, in the middle of the night?

Spending all ones time miserably trying not to be found does not prepare one for the inevitability of eventually being found.

Throw another log on the fire and prepare to be found!
