Hi NIM, thanks for sharing the kit! Despite the naysayers I think you have a great plan that would most likely lead to an eventual colony in the remote areas as more well prepared folks arrive to areas that the unprepared will never be able to reach.

I live in a moderate sized, poor city with one of the highest violent crime rates in the US. Having been employed as a LEO through a few large scale emergencies and a major riot I do not wish to imagine the environment that people will encounter if Western civilization shudders for even a brief period. An atomic war or other semipermanent event worsens that scenario exponentially.

Your plan to go to very remote areas and make it a go is very noble and I would rather face the wild threats than the 'civilized' ones any day, even if it is only our family attempting it.

It seems like transition to the remote areas can be a healthful and pleasant experience now if you can do it. For the past several years I've been seeking employment on the fringes of remote areas, I did take a new 'corporate' type government job that is better suited to large universities, nuke/chemical plants or diamond mines since I'm now too old to transfer to a Park Ranger job (plus the pay cut would be a little drastic right now). It will only be a matter of time before we will be moving.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!
