Cover with a tarp with plywood etc. camouflage it. So when you have to bug to the property you can build a quick cabin. A small shack with a drop down bed would be better than a hole in a ground and it's concealed till you move out out there.

Which is why this time I mentioned the genetic adult lactose gene non-ornamentals may have ( not sure how the Mongols did it but not the Chinese ), and wondered if that was a substitution for animal protein. It is that, or the fact that fat can replace meat in the diet. I've wondered about that before, also.

I already invested in fence posts, pipe and galvanized wire. That is the stairway handgrips to the B-POD, which the NOL needs to get up and down. On a solar flare, EMP, and cyber attack, sure, sooner or later. But I'd beware the petrodollar collapse as more of an immediate and assured threat.

If there is a collapse, the NOL will be all too happy to live out there, making the requirement for a “NOL friendly” desert palace moot. That’s a lot of money for someone that’s unemployed. Especially considering that unemployed straight white dude’s in their 50’s are at the bottom rung of the hiring hierarchy (RuPaul would be hired to head up a summer boy’s camp over you) so that last job may very well have been your last official job. <br /><br />On a different note, on coast to coast am last night, the guest was discussing the fragility of the grid. Apparently we narrowly avoided a pretty bad solar flare in 2012. He also mentioned a professional attack on a electric sub-station that resulted in millions of dollars of damage, and took that plant off-line for 3 years. He went on to mention that 90% of the American population would be dead within the year, in a grid down event. The first and most obvious consideration of course would be that the taps would stop flowing. We have a well, but our well is way too deep for a hand pump; something to consider. We have a stagnant pond, so filtration will be a must. He also mentioned that in the event of a massive solar flare or EMP blast, that due to global fires, we wouldn’t see the sun for up 3 years, in which case most vegetation would die off. It was pretty scary stuff, and the worst part about it is that it’s quite a plausible scenario. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-11375426023398277882017-07-14T11:34:04.793-07:002017-07-14T11:34:04.793-07:00OK you got me.
