I am glad you still have your job. I like your insight. If you move to a remote place and it is really off the beaten path, will you be able to communicate with us? I think many of us like the house in the mountains idea, but what about good medical care? I for one do not want to hunt small animals for food. I guess I will check out the shelf life on protein powder…[/quote]

Aecetia: do you have a ham radio? I just got one, and I think it will be a very handy thing to have to keep in touch if there are ever any grid problems. As for health care…that has been a concern of mine for the past couple of years. I have been advising friends and family to have any critical health care needs (surgeries, out patient procedures, dental work, etc) taken care of now while the medical and insurance infrastructure is still intact. I have been working out more, too, and trying to focus on building up my health and stamina for the long term. I am preparing for a world without safety nets. I think it is imperative to “get strong to go long”.
