Some of my associates and I have been discussing this very thing. Most families are not set up for the husband to go off and fight for weeks or months at a time. Their families need them to survive on a day to day basis.

We are kicking around the idea of forming a unit for Civil Defense and Family Services. One of my associates is too old to be running around, my knees, allergies keep me from being able to be active several months of the year... So we will concentrate on using our skills and resources to be set up to protect other men's families.

I have a large house. I put bunk beds in each of the kids rooms. Their play room has another bed in it. The couch fold out into another bed. The other couch can sleep one more person. Basically.. my house could sleep 7 more people currently. Once I get the 2 additional bedrooms set up in the basement... and locate a few more bunk bed sets... That will greatly increase the amount of people we could bunk here...

It doesnt cost any more for heat to house more people... will probably cost a little more in electricity. We have our own well and septic systems. So more people will just mean that the grocery bill goes up. And that can be largely taken care of by using more beans, rice, corn, wheat, sprouts, greenhouse products, increasing the size of the garden, fishing, and hunting.

Just an idea that we are working on here. Any helpful ideas would be greatly appreciated.
