That's it exactly SF. That way if you and yours have to hightail it this way because Wisconsin has somehow gone to hell, you will have a safe place here waiting for you and other safe places along the route that you will be able to use to get to whichever safe place that you want to settle at. And it will be the same for me in reverse. As these places are built up and running we can man them with the people that own the particular land that we decide to use, and this will give us a place to safely store supplies as well as get things going that will take a lot of time to do, (The garden for instance, getting the livestock in place). We can put communications in place so that we will be able to communicate between these places and we can do all this while we still have the grid, wal-mart, Home Depot, and the grocery store available if we hurry a little. If nothing happens then we will all have places to retire to or vacation at.
Look the way I see it is that noone will make it through whats coming alone, not unless your rambo, ( Now I know that many of you out there may think that you are, but trust me your not LOL LOL Rambo was a movie character. What I'm talking about here is real life, not a video game or a movie.) There is a very real possibility that a solar flare or cme could take out the power grid, or all of the communication satellites putting society as we know it into complete chaos all of the sudden and that is just one of the things that are very very real. I know, I know, I'm preaching to the choir here but give it some thought.
Since there is absolutely no way of knowing what the future will bring, there is no other way that I can think of that will protect us better against whatever may come our way. The other benefit that I see that will result from putting all of this together is that after tshtf I truly believe that society as we know it will no longer exist. Will it be the end of the world? I sincerely doubt it, but that doesn't mean that after everything settles down that the govt. will step in and make everything all better. At this point we will have to ban together and help ourselves just as our ancestors did. We are going to have to learn to live locally again, grow and raise our own food, learn how to barter and trade, learn how to build things that we need with what we have available to us. Now I don't know about you all but I'm thinking that it sure will be a whole lot easier to put all of this together now then it will be then. Now to make this happen we are going to need some dedicated people in some different states, I have some land in the mountains of Tennessee, it's not a lot of land but it's very very isolated. I am also looking into some land in the Ocala national forest area, (for those of you not from here that is here in Florida). Now not everyone will have land of course but we are going to need labor, security, supplies, ect, ect. So don't think just because you might not have a ton of resources already that this wouldn't be for you. We all have something to contribute no matter our age or our physical capabilities.
Anyhow, I'm sorry there Stormfeather I kind of got off track this morning. This started out to be a post to say thanks for taking the time to post a reply.
