    Easy one, not paranoid as to locations.

    Southeast Wisconsin, city house, looking to dump it, but market went to heck, no, don't need to sell it, but two sets of taxes are a PITA.

    As it turns out small mortgage/deduction still cheaper than storing my "stuff" some where else.

    South west Wisconsin, "The Place" our cabin, land and toys....hopefully be retirement location soon.
    Hoping to spend some winter time in NE Louisiana, as well, with DD and SIL, the new DGS.

    WIFI a great thing, but still looking at reasonable Internet access from multiple locations.

    Was wondering how ND was telling us all about the wilderness from 240 mile from any where?
    That's still a mystery.

    So, does that answer your question?

    He is very inconsistent. If you are going to tell a story then make sure you tell it the same way every time so folks don't catch you in a lie.

    After reading his last 500 post I've come to believe that he is a fraud that has a very vivid imagination as to where he lives.
    Hey, if you lived that far from roads everytime you walked or paddled it would seem like further and further away too.

    Why didn't you just cut to the chase and said you wished you won the lottery?

    BTW...me too!
    But, honestly if I did win the lottery I'd be living in a tin roofed shack in surrounded by a vast productive wilderness in a pleasant climate.

    Aren't we fickle, now!
    It's OK though, you never know how you'll really feel 'til it happens.
    Just roll with whatever you're dealt, it'll sort itself out in the long run.

    I liked my idea better.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Come to think of it, I wonder if that is why "ND" can't make up his mind how far he live from the nearest town or road or whatever!

    "Multiple Personalities"

    Hmmmmm.....,

    Default well now

    I've been following this conversation for awhile now and then this morning there's this song by the Tragically Hip on my truck radio and they said:

    "I feel I stepped out of the wilderness
    all squint eyed and confused
    But even babies raised by wolves they know
    exactly when they've been used
    "

    and it just seemed to fit.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Here's the big question Hunter.

    How far do you live from the nearest road and nearest town?

    I know it sounds like a trick question so take your time and think about it before you answer. If you need to you can ask Mrs. Hunter to help you.

    Hummm, well lets see it about 60ft to the road,(which road?) both roads!
    In town and 2 miles from one town, 3 miles to the other, but if you take the long faster way around it 5 miles (don't tell him that) why not?, (well, OK, cannon ready?) Oh yeah.

    So like, ND isn't bitting? My turn? (which one?)(quite)
    Some body, give t'all a whisle and a pith helmet?

    Hunter I can only wonder how tough it is for you being old and having Alzheimer, split personality and Bi-polar disorder. At least you don't live in an imaginary cabin in the Alaska wilderness.

    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Well actually it's not too bad being all those things,(huh?) you can get away with a lot of stuff, if you know what I mean.
    Anyway, nope, no imaginary cabin.......But the real one is paid for, how weird is that?
