Exactly, I'm not going anywhere. I have enough propane and kerosene in my tanks to last about two years, and good fishing in Lake Champlain to supplement the canned food.
I have reread this from the start and I still don't know how you guys could survive more then a couple of years in a SHTF situation.
All of America has seasons, even Hawaii has wet and dry season.
One can bring all the freezed dry food with them but they still need a water source to prepare the food . A hand iron wok to cook the food is light and can be used over a camp fire. But most sources of water, streams and lakes are not a good choice to get water from unless you boil it first.
Depending on the reason for bugging out, it may not be a good idea to hunt animals for food. One never knows what they ate or drank.
I am trying to remember the 3 necessary requirements for people to survive.
Food + water
shelter
clothing.
