Your Home
Shelter is the first priority in a true survival situation - then water, then food. In a true survival situation, more people die of hypothermia than for lack of thirst or food. This will be true with peak oil. So, let’s talk about your shelter. Your shelter is your home. In a true survival situation, you need a shelter near a source of water and out of the extremes of the environment if possible. So, how do you select a home site meeting these criteria? Here are some considerations:
(1) Own your home if possible. You need to own if possible, not rent. Owning a home is always the best thing financially, peak oil or no peak oil. Keep the home simple and inexpensive. Further, it is usually harder to get a person out of a home they own than it is to evict a tenant. Everyone does not need his or her own bedroom and bathroom. Abe Lincoln was raised in a one-room cabin, and he turned out okay, and so will your kids.
(2) You need a home with a yard. You need a yard to be able to have a garden, collect water, etc.
(3) Don’t live in a condo or any type of multi-housing. Don’t live in an apartment or a trailer park. Condos and apartments probably don’t have any usable yard space and become unbearable if the heat or AC goes off. That housing is unliveable if the elevators don’t work or the water shuts off. So, move to a home and get out of the apartment or condo.
