What would one need to live indefintly in very rural settings (read out in the woods)
Heres an idea, do a forum search save everyone some time this has been done to death
Wow. Essentially, assuming the air is breathable, the categories include shelter, water, food, fuel, orientation devices, medicals, clothes, and tools (including killing devices). By the time I get back to you on this one, I'm sure there are going to be a number of replies. My answer may include items on the lists of others, but I promise to keep my own response original.
IMO you would need the same things that you would "need" in an urban environment. Shelter, food, water, knowledge and skill...... Now, how you satisfy your needs is completely different. Hunting and fishing for protien instead of going to the grocery store. Finding a clean water source instead of just turning on the faucet. Building a shelter instead of renting an apartment. Companionship?????I'll leave that one up to you.Quote:

Nah, I'm just jazzin' ya, there's plenty of good info on the forums here.
After giving this some thought:
Quick Answer:
At least one of every item for sale at your local WalMart, except for the food aisles. Take every food item you can find.
Better Answer:
Shelter: A large coach style camper.
Water: Evian, Aquafina, or Poland Spring.
Food: Take out menus and a cell phone.
Fuel: Venezuela
Orientation Devices: Seal Team 2
Medicals: Mass General
Clothes: Neiman Marcus catalogue and cell phone
Tools (including killing devices): A top quality wine key is a good start.

Ken...dude...ya left out credit card, I mean how's the guy gonna get Venezuala without a credit card.
C'mon Trax! You're probably better prepared than most of us. You know the drill: AMERICAN EXPRESS: DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!Quote:

good point, getting a report back that says "Venezuala secured for your use, sir!" from a seal team is probably something I'd enjoy a lot more than an Amex bill.
The only thing better would be to have Hugo Chavez keep the generator and the vehicles filled up and clean.
Ooops! Meant to include his name under the "tools" category.
see you forget those kind of niggling details after the brain cell suction, they all come around in the end though, trust us people...it feels better!
Just Money.................If you got the money......I can supply everything you need or want...:rolleyes:Quote:

Jeeeeese. I only have one woman and sometimes she's not very friendly.
I'll stick with my 2. TDW and TGF are (at times) more then I can handle.
I would want a Sears, a K mart, a Safeways, a Target and a Starbuckes!
Bacon! Lots and lots of Bacon!
