What would you miss?

[your_comforting_company]

you know.. after thinking about it all day, I think I'd miss communicating my ideas more than anything. I had very little contact with people all day, except for business (folks call when we get 4" of rain and they spring a leak) but I've been working all day on this and that and been pretty much alone inside my head with my thoughts. Now, if you really knew me, thats a scary place to be. Sometimes you have all this stuff you wanna say... but noone to say it to.
Thats like most times around here.. I don't think any of my friends are really interested in surviving type stuff. Kids just wanna watch tv and play games. The Mrs. has all kinds of stuff she gotta do.. she just ain't got time to hear me rant.. But you guys.. you let me talk about things I'm interested in and I don't get all jestered and put off. I guess I'm trying to say thanks for listening and talking back. I don't know anyone else locally that is at all interested in anything primitive.

I would have to put at the top of my list: someone to talk to. but I won't edit it for discussions sake

YCC.... IMO that is one of the best things about this fourm. always having somone who'll listen.

If I wasn't married with kids I would probably already be living a rather off-the-grid lifestyle anyway, so I don't think I would miss all that much of modern conveniences.

There are a few exceptions:
cold Dr. Pepper
hot showers
good light to read by at night (tried reading by candle or fire light, it's not so good)
a freezer to store food in

MUSIC.. My whole life has had music. I love it. I would eat it if I could, and drink it.. it soothes my soul and calms my stresses. It distracts me from all the drudgery of life, if only for a short while.

music has been around for a long time i dint think it would disappear just from a lack of radio.

I have to completely agree with the items and reasoning on there. The only thing I would add, is my tent. Anything here in FL that would cause this situation would probably tear my tent down, or at the least flood it to the point I'd be out of it for a few days.

you could build a shelter or use a tarp hammock setup or a hennessy hammock, i think think those are cool.
