right on that Denis..my only survival interest is taking care of myself if something go's wrong on a wilderness canoe trip.
having said that i was at a drive-in camp up in Northern Minnesota to spend a night before heading out for two weeks on the canoe path.i was sitting around having a can of stew and for about 5 seconds thought that this would be a good place to come too if "anything really happen".i say 5 seconds because first off getting out of Minneapolis would be a joke,if "it" was that bad i would not make it from the local streets to the freeway north with traffic jams and loss of law and order.
even if i made it to Jennette lake the locals would have the place locked down with not only every camp site taken but new ones cut out of the forest everywhere.the roads would be lined with cars out of gas and people camped next to them looking to get fuel any way possible.so on and on and on.
our house and the people around us we have know for years would be a better bet than anything on the road.the Mississippi River and the woods around it would be a source of water and fuel and the Vets Hospital just blocks away would be a good stable anchor.
the "problem" with ETS is that it does make me think of what i might do if "it" came down on us and we had to get along for years with little back up..task #1 would be to cut down the 60 foot pine in the back yard for fire wood!!!!
but in Real life the search for a better foil blanket to put in the PFD Ditch Kit is more up my line...
