So I went in a trip Friday night as a somewhat walkthrough on GTFO. Keeping with the crawl-walk-run philosophy I took it more as a way to identify areas to develop into a bugout plan in the future. Also, my approach angle for the eventual goal was somewhere between "Whoa **** the the house is...
I think imma do this tonight. Head home from work at a tear, pack up as much as I can/need in 15 minutes, head out and see what I can do this weekend on my own. Should be interesting :)

if I get some time this weekend I will transfer a few of our recipes from paper to the computer and post them up, most are variations from the Ball blue book and things we found online. Really amped to get this dog food processed, we are going to boil it all then run it through a food mill to...

Lets say you had access to a plot of land not far from your home and wanted to get a bug out location together. You have a grand to build or buy a small cabin/shack/trailer/etc to use for shelter. What route would you take?
