Count me in. I also would enjoy seeing some discussions on these types of "long term living". Techniques, not so much causes. I am more interested in how to store 55 gallons of kerosene for a long period than I am discussing the merits of moving our cash economy off the gold standard. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Things like scrounging a cheap way to stay warm in winter when the power is out, or non-existant... Food storage, lighting, keeping my kids and grandkids safe, collecting water when the public system is down (for whatever reason)...

Like I said, technique, not cause.
