I know exactly where Covington is located. Have been through there more than a hundred times. Beautiful area surrounded by Mountains and, creeks and Rivers. Our plans are to purchase a retirement home in Lewisburg WV or White Sulphur Springs WV very near Covington.

Pretty part of the country up there with excellent natural resources along with a lot of caves (my bugout dwelling if I ever need one). I still need to work out the grey water/human waste issue if in a confined space for a lengthy period of time secondary to radioactive issues.

We could all volunteer at a local free health clinic after we retire!

I have plenty of information on Grey Water. Truth is.. I have almost 1 TB of information stored for Survival, Bush Craft, Gardening, Farming, FOOD, Water, Solar, Stoves, Shelter, First Aid and very extensive procedures of all kinds, Herbs and medicine, and many, many other detailed operations in living and being efficient with yourself or with a group. Like I said ..almost a terabyte on an external hard drive stored in a copper box lined with card board and a back up drive same and 2 small Net books in a faraday cage... let the doom come.... Ah yes.. I also have stored away Heirloom seed vaults....and Backpacking gear is just a sock on my foot.. I have it all... I forgot to mention a BIBLE!!!!!

I don't think I will have time for computers. All that surviving is gonna be exhausting. I need to purchase an emberlit stove now! And a windmill, small solar panel, water making kit.....gotta stay away from this thread Fridge. I'll start having nightmares from contemplating survival issues like keeping the wild animals out of my cave or how to maximize warmth in the cold environment or what kind of paint should I use to record events on the cave walls!

It is good that you have your resources and have lived enough years to excel at most things.

Well, I am certainly glad to know that we are still in the very beginning of the universe. That seems much better than being at the very end of it, I woiuld say!

Well, Refrigerator has left only a couple of tell-tale breadcrumbs since he dropped off the grid that I have observed. On my last trip to his neck of the woods I noticed many nice doors at the foot of some of the hills not too different from a cave or mine entrance with a nice, solid door. These same folks probably had their bomb shelters left over from the Cold War days and have just been sprucing things up or maybe I had become so accustomed to seeing them that I had not noticed them in a long time.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone, and especially those with concerns about making it through the end of the year, a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thank you Judy and the same to you, and we WILL make it through the end of the year.

Do you get time with your family or do you have to work?

2nd Annual Backpacking meet-up, this year in Kentucky. After the great time in Virginia last year, Thanksgiving became a different type of "family" gathering.

Will the festivities be at your home or at one of the kids?
