We must find our own path to survival

by M.D. Creekmore on February 8, 2009

We know the trouble that is coming and I decided to email you with a concern. We have a house with a mortgage. We realize that that might end sometime soon. My husband works etc however such as times are…you never know how long that will last. My question for you is…should we purchase a trailer, land or what. We have food stored up but clearly not enough. We are working on it. What are your suggestions for folks basically just starting out?
God Bless KellyM.D. answers:
The first thing you should take into consideration is your job and home security. How secure is your husband’s job? If he lost his job tomorrow how long would it take the bank to begin foreclose? How long before eviction? Where would you go? How soon can you pay off your mortgage? It’s difficult to give reliable advice without knowing more about your situation.

If losing your home is the primary concern, it is prudent to have a back-up plan. Living in a car or tent isn’t all that much fun, I have done both and will do everything in my power to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Some would say I went to the extreme when I moved out to the middle of no where. I am happy and continue to be quite content living in my travel trailer on my paid for patch of dirt, but moving out to the boondocks is not for everyone, but remains an option for those so inclined.

Another option would be squatting on public lands while living in an RV or other mobile shelter . I have done this for several months at a time with no trouble to speak of. Stay hidden as much as possible and avoid drawing attention. In my experence it is best to move to a new location every couple of months. If you are found by authorities just pack up and move.

Don’t get me wrong; if you are happy where you are and have no fear of being evicted during hard times, by all means stay put. Stock up on food and other survival supplies and make your stand where you are. Just because one way has worked for me or someone else doesn’t mean that it is the only way. We each must find our own path to survival.
Keep Surviving.
