Isolated in a cabin, is a good start but having a fire would be my biggest challenge as it will be a dead give away, with the smoke, attracting poeple still alive. water and food is actually the easy part. The forest is virtually a buffet of good nutritious food and bringing a supply of seeds with you to said remote cabin will allow a garden for years to come. Using nature to filter water is also a real concept, but hiding the smoke now that is the ultimate challenge. Anyone out there can suggest a solution to this challenge?

Yes, you are correct. The fire does seem like a dead giveaway. I think a person could use solar powered heaters maybe? Or if fire is absolutely necessary, I would do it in the daytime so it is not that visible. As for the smoke, I don't know how to hide it but maybe I could use the fire some distance away from the cabin?
Those are both good suggestions. However I did do the research on the solar part and it takes alot of panels to heat with, and placing the fire away from the cabin does not serve a heating need. So what I have found is if you are in a tent or tippee or cob home, you can dig a hole to put the fire in and dig a tunnel out the bottom of the tent to the outside, like having a chimney pipe but out the side on the bottom of the tent or cob home. This will eliminate the smoke. There is a good video on You tube. But an after thought, about having the fire remote from the cabin, you can always use rocks and heat them in the coals of the fire and bring the rocks in a sack to the cabin and place them around the cabin and in your bed, for the warmth. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for telling me this :D I will surely remember this if there is ever an actual apocalypse and you could be reason for me being alive ;) lol
