I agree the oldest methods are the best. While I have extensive experience as a survivalist, I have also found, that when you involve your family in the affair, you have new problems. I was homeless for 5 months this year. It was the hardest thing my family ever experienced. The stigma that immediately falls on you, is just ridiculous. It is very hard to get back into a house when you live in a tent and act like your camping. There are many things people do not realize will happen when you MUST live outside. One constant problem is protecting your food from animals. Another is, all sorts of freaky people come out of the "duct work" and have ill intentions; wishing to take advantage of you... from cult leaders, to psychotic morons, to police. In one summer, I experienced all of it. Stupid cops came and woke us up and 2 o'clock in the morning to ask us if we saw a woman running around in the woods. What?! I can only imagine, what a real disaster will be like, when men can not live in their homes. There are so many little things your family will suffer. Your wife, and your children. As these come to mind, I will discuss them. Taking care of yourself is one thing, but taking care of your family, and trying to make it back to a normal life are exceedingly difficult. I will post more about this later. These problems are unforseen by most, and need to be addressed.
