    I reckon letting my guard down and becoming complacent with my reasonably secure position. I never want to go around with my head up my a$$ and get blindsided by anything or anyone.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
    to fight... he'll just kill you.

    Somehow I don't see the danger of that happening, the little I surmised about you Coot.

    You mean you don't go up and check the roof every now and then?

    I thought everyone went up on the roof for the occasional change of pace. I was upt there just the other day to see if anyone had left anything lying around that needed cleaning up. I patched a leak that had been bothering me for a day or two while I was up there.

    I do not fear any natural disaster as much as I fear the abuses of power in local, federal and world leadership that influnce our economic, mental and physical well being. The are taking my money, ticking me off and giving me a pain in the butt.

    Other than that, my only real fear is that I will die and the cat will eat me.

    Not really sure. So far up here there have been earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, crazy drivers in the winter and tonight a plane crashed no more than 1/2 mile from my house. All of these things can be a hazard to me and mine.
    Alaska to Florida, for how long, who knows...

    Looks to me I'm the safest right where I am.

    Cool

    I also live in the wilderness, but I planned ahead and built my fortress out of cement (1 foot thick walls) so fires don't bother me. I think the only real danger at the current time is what is going on in the world and in the white house. I think I will have to add another 3 feet to my walls and add an air filtration system just in case things start glowing orange around me. =)

    Hey AirborneEagles - when you come out for air, how about stopping by the Introduction section and telling us a bit about yourself. Thanks. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14

    I hate that job! I need to do it nearly every snow storm because my place builds ice so fast! I think I need to add more ventilation but I've already put in a ridge vent and vented the eaves. Next step is a steel roof so it will clean itself.

    It is the worst... I have a flat roof... So if it snows... I am shoveling. Driveway, steps, and roof!...
    My biggest worry is slipping on ice and falling off roof or down the steps… with my luck I wouldn't die .. Just be paralyzed and in pain the rest of a long life.

    I refuse to shovel snow!

    Until it turns into a glacial state I am not worrying about it. I view snow as an annual test of faith, proof that the creater exists. So far it has confirmed my belief.
