I've thought about this, surviving in difficult situations and it's a stretch for anyone to know how they would react in the moment. Having said that, without the necessary skills the point is moot which is why I went ahead and learned them. It's incredible what a human is capable of, in good and bad ways, and it's all dependent upon the motivation.
By the way, that land...sounds amazing and something I would love!
Yeah, oddly enough, it was only just shy of $200K which seemed not that unreasonable to me. I think I have mentioned this before, but I read a book a while ago about a nuke being detonated in the air and frying all electronics around the world. It made me think a lot about what I might do if that were to happen. My buddy has some acreage up in the UP and I think I would head there if he would have me. My wife said "yeah, you and all his other friends", but I honestly think that would be good. You would need a community to survive in a case like that. Like the old days, everyone hopefully with a skill that they can contribute.
