Hide it in plain sight and do not draw attention to it -- others might notice and steal it should things get hairy! And a Bug-Out Vehicle is essential too -- and two good pairs of hiking boots (like my mother used to say about my suit hankerchief -- one for show, one for blow!) :-)Roland D.

I always think 'what if' and 'could I do this?' Knowing what to do in an emergency is vital. Learning is a lifelong task, and adapting is more useful than not.

Politics has become devoid of friendship as former Senator Dole has recently said -- he came from the generation of WWII who felt country came before politics.<br /><br />THE WALKING DRUM is a swashbuckler that sings the praise of learning.

Who could grow sufficient food ... and more, as well as all those things you describe ... <br /><br />I didn't know about Louis L'Amour's other works either .. I'll get one out of the library to look at ... his approach to learning looks a good teaching tool - cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-75678607592120922162015-07-28T03:24:32.756-05:002015-07-28T03:24:32.756-05:00Some pretty intense thoughts to consider,

That is easy to say after you have been through the fire and no longer in it. <br />I worry about politic's affect on future generations. We do seem to have people compacently agreeing to living close to poverty while some are fabulously wealthy because they earned it. Ignorance has a terrible price. <br />I did not know Louis L'Amour wrote more than cowboy books.I'll have to read one.Ann Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17759967601352382204noreply@blogger.com
