Sparkyprep, hi. I appreciate your words and concern - and you would be right if we were normal people; we're not.
Nor is it a matter of 'two people against the world'. We're not 'against' anything, just have no use for it; and I doubt the 'world' has any interest in us... we're not rich enough, or important enough, to bother with...even if someone could find their way up here. We're old folks, and eventually we'll die up here - but until then we live up here, running naked wild-assed and free, lol. We drive down to town on occasion in the summer for a beer & some slow-elk, but everything we need to
survive is already here - and I'm not talking about long-term food & supplies, things that eventually run out, etc. We subscribe to the old ways; EMP wont affect us other than switching out the well pump to a manual water draw...and drying the venison in the freezer, etc. Wont miss the internet (except for OTP of course!) and there is no one to 'call for help', so it's on us to handle whatever comes, and our choice to live in this manner, which we're already doing, and wouldn't trade it for the world.
