Aw....up and leaving "us" just when they sentenced Blago to 14 years. J/K, I knew you wanted to "escape from Illinois" ASAP and being able to move the entire family at once will be easier on all of you. Don't forget to let me know when you are ready for your bartered items to be sent down.Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323010153065165953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322973801467331651.post-22521576733099327082011-12-08T18:13:42.853-06:002011-12-08T18:13:42.853-06:00A buried 55 gallon drum and some perf pipe makes a...A buried 55 gallon drum and some perf pipe makes a quick septic, and a tank on a stand for gravity flow water, and you are in business! <br /><br />When my parents moved us into the sticks, it was in a single wide mobile home, and that's how we did it. The second thing done was a 20x20 add on to the mobile, add we lived in there fire a couple years as dad built the house. The mobile and add on became storage/workshop.<br /><br />Can't say I would move to a dry place like TX, but moving to be self sufficient just takes a settled mind and willingness to work, and with your wife on board, is going to be a grand adventure!Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574606570983238427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322973801467331651.post-89310873285632418972011-12-08T17:29:16.538-06:002011-12-08T17:29:16.538-06:00I would be lost without our RV.

These days it's set up in our backyard as a place for my DS to camp out with his friends. DH takes them out there to give me a break. Since it's paid for, I know I'll always have a roof over the heads of my family. Also, like you said, it's a great bug out vehicle. We keep ours well stocked at all times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322973801467331651.post-33204044102796251552011-12-08T17:11:59.332-06:002011-12-08T17:11:59.332-06:00That's sort of been my thought process on it.
...That's sort of been my thought process on it.<br /><br />It's not an inexpensive item, but it serves a lot of purposes. After we get the main house done then we'll have the cabin and the RV as a guesthouse. Or I could sell the RV at that point and get back part of my money.<br /><br />Worst case, we can always keep the RV as sort of a bugout trailer for the future if we're ever forced off our land or make a decision to go elsewhere.<br /><br />So with excess cash on hand it seemed like a good decision. At worst I try and sell it later.Ernesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740451675011962605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322973801467331651.post-60643246565517922812011-12-08T17:08:53.632-06:002011-12-08T17:08:53.632-06:00Having an RV on standby seems like a good plan eve...Having an RV on standby seems like a good plan even when the cabin is done...
