When 'it' finally happens I don't know if I'll be ready or not! I don't think well on the spot, so it's good for me to think of situations beforehand!<br /><br />Shelly, Yes, 1 in 8! Ugh. Like you said there are many deserving people who will be hurting because undeserving people have been taking advantage of the situation. Our bug-out location is land we used to own in MO, but sold to cousins. Let me know if you'd like any info on it. (MO, Christian (past) homeschoolers.<br /><br />Upinak, it sounds like you guys are really ahead of the rest of us in some respects! You and your BF both have property, which is FABULOUS!!! An underground pantry is a great idea! We've been thinking of hiding a number of things underground, but I hadn't thought of food! So much to consider......Thanks for stopping in ladies!Gen-IL Homesteaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218088039979391187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377767749350647752.post-80310112023721173172010-05-18T14:52:21.303-05:002010-05-18T14:52:21.303-05:00Gen, you know how I am via reading my Alaska blog....Gen, you know how I am via reading my Alaska blog. I would recommend you and hubby think about this.<br /><br />Money helps this situation. Think about buying a very small peice of property in a mountain area around you. Kentucky is close enough and they are in finacial hardship as are the people. You can buy the land at a steal a acre or two for 5K or LESS depending on what the persons crisis is. Have your kids help you as well... they will also need a place.<br /><br />Now, look into small cabin kits. They should only run around 2500 for your area. I know 2500 is a lot, but think of the value if you HAVE another Bug out location.<br /><br />The Sig Other and I are trying to figure out the cost of building a cabin on either of our property. He doesn't know that I would rather build on his as it is remote and very hard just to be able to walk in. <br /><br />If you make a Bug Out Cabin... always remember to make a underground pantry. The mountains will help keep some of your stuff at least edible. Or a cashe. Somethign to help with the food.<br /><br />It is an option to think about.upinakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639631602328256787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377767749350647752.post-43534760985835600892010-05-18T09:40:30.326-05:002010-05-18T09:40:30.326-05:00Great Post! 1 in 8 is a lot of people and if thes...Great Post! 1 in 8 is a lot of people and if these programs are cut things will get ugly fast. The sad part is the elderly and handicapped population that will need these social services. That breaks my heart to think what could happen to them. BOL is something we don't have due to lack of funds and just hope if we have to leave we will be guided from the Lord or someone decent will see us and will be inspired by God to take us in for work along the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377767749350647752.post-90737262352299874482010-05-18T05:56:54.119-05:002010-05-18T05:56:54.119-05:00Excellent post Gen! So many things to think about ...Excellent post Gen! So many things to think about when preparing and the "mental" part is a definite must or we just may lose it. I feel so much in what you're saying here, your home and property is your baby you've nurtured and sweated and poured all your heart and soul as well as money into it but not exactly to let it go to looters and thieves. But I guess at the same hand we'd all probably have to make some fast and swift decisions in a SHTF scenario where time will definitely be of the essence pronto. And there will be no time to be having doubts and mental breakdowns as well. Golly, this is alot more prepping here than I've thought. Thanks for another wake-up call that is always sorely needed.
