Yeah!!!! Another one with a touch of good sense. I say we ransack their houses while their gone. 2 weeks the whole thing blows over and they come back home only to find their grill in your back yard and all their fire wood stacked in mine.:D

no! bad sir! you may not have my firewood. the grills, i have too many. ust don't be a' touchin' my three robot daughters.
This sounds like another traveling salesman and the three robot daughters joke.
So hide out in the waste lands were there is little water or food till it settles down then come out and kick butt :cool: That works too
Hopeak, I think I might have posted this somewhere else, I'm not sure. Anyway, when I was in your country (to the south a bit) I heard stories about those miners being required to transport 2000 pounds of supplies and equipment before the RCMP would allow them to move into the wilderness. Just as you described, items were cast by the way side, even cast iron stoves!
yup. it was an established, and greatly generalized year's provision, much of it often useless.
I spent a few summers living in a walltent. They're a popular option up here, maybe kind of a remnant from the gold rush days...They're not bad, and you can put a stove into it. Some people also spend winters in them but I'd rather build a small cabin than feeding all those logs into the woodstove to keep warm.
A good way is both, Set up the wall tent straight and level, Instant home. Now build a log structure around the wall tent. Next shovel dirt agenst the logs for insulation. You can log all the way up the side walls visqueen over the top of the tent. You can even paint the inside of the tent every summer.Quote:

build a small fire and sit close......
The EMS is what I was trying to get a cross when I made a post about " to stay alive longer make yourself of value to others and they will help you stay alive" as you help them.. That was said before by someone here ,there may be allot of hunters but only one Blacksmith , or one Doctor so learn a skill that no one has but everyone will need and you will have skill to barter and a reson for others to want to keep you alive ..Yes I know that your all very tuff but there will be a day when you are not and would'nt it be nice if someone other then your loved ones would want to keep you alive?Quote:

Hopeak. Thanks for the invite and I had my bags all packed until you told me the outhouse didn't have a door and it's -37!!!!!!! I guess I'll have to unpack them now.
Think I'd opt for a large Winnebago, that is if there's no vacncies left at the Holiday Inn!:rolleyes:
Aaah, Rick, it's not as bad as you think! Why'd you want to sit on a porcelain throne, staring at your bathroom wall, when you could instead be watching the northern lights, admire the view acoss the lake/creek...secret is a disgusting-looking piece of styrofoam that serves as a seat- instant warmth as you park your behind. And since in the winter you'd be wearing a warm jacket and pants outside, you just pull the pants down as far as you have to, spread the bottom of your jacket over your legs and around the seat...no big deal. You could build an outhouse in your backyard with no door and give it a try! :DQuote:
