I plan to bug in, except in case of wildfire. But that's a temp BO scenario, not a permanent one. This is my home, and eff it all, I plan to die here, one way or another. I'm pushing 40, and I'm working on getting this place as self-sufficient as I can, while I can. I don't care about quantity of life, I care about quality!

Have you done any thing to fire proof your home? In my AO, like Motomom34 we have fire as a very real and dire threat, so fire proofing is a must, especially if you plan to stay in! I can help guide you in this if you like, I specialist in fighting high risk fires and have a pretty good insight into what can be done to prevent a loss!

Awaken Cold Iron, Awaken!

You may talk o’ gin and beer
When you’re quartered safe out ’ere,
An’ you’re sent to penny-fights an’ Aldershot it;
But when it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water,
An’ you’ll lick the bloomin’ boots of ’im that’s got it.
