I dont have any property inside the mountains yet(not for a a few more years). Was just wondering about self sustainment and if anyone else had gone through trial and error out here already. Currently we're at 7200' elevation but thats here in town. Any areas I have looked at were at least 9000'. I just know that once I have said property I would like to practice trying to be as self sustaining as possible. That way when Im older and move out there permanently I can come to town as little as possible. Trying to live way out there with my wife and dogs. (If my wife agrees to come.) Custom build firearms and have a small range to shoot on. Im thinking Jeremiah Johnson, pilgrims. Food, water, shelter: its the little things in life that count. With some practice I could actually have a list of seeds or supplies to store long term. I guess like a 'kit' but more for family size sustainment and less like a "3 day pack". I just think that its important for humans to know how to find/make their own food. I can scavenge like the dickens and hunting wouldnt be an issue but its those other things I havent thought of. It only took New orleans 3 days to descend into total chaos after Hurricane Katrina and for food/water to stop running through the supply lines.
