Entry for October 05, 2005 – Why all the Disaster Stuff
In the past two years I’ve recovered from my own personal disaster. I’ve been living with extremely minimal resources and attempting to cover the basics as best as I can. I’ve also seen the merits of living anonymously and “off the grid” a bit. I have gone from having a TON of stuff to a comfortable, but minimal existance. I can go farther, but I don’t think it is fair to my six year old daughter to force her to live like an ascetic hermit because of her mother’s peculiar habits.
On the other hand, it’s also my duty to keep her safe and protected in any situation as she grows and develops and explores her world. I’ve committed to some additional training in wilderness thriving, urban farming and gathering, and disaster preparedness. So I’m compiling some documents for my own personal use, that seem like they might be helpful as a post. I’ll keep updating my posts on some of the plans that I’ve been able to put into effect to further my goal of being able to live out of a footlocker, if need be.
