Here's my dilemma. I've been thinking more and more about what I will do if the SHTF, and I've realized that right now my only option is to bug in. (I don't like that option as I live in an urban neighborhood in Milwaukee, WI - enough said). I've talked to the wife and we are going to get a plot of land (maybe 3-5 wooded acres) about 2 or 3 hours away up north, somewhere rural, but still not too far from civilization. The problem lies in the fact that we are 21 and 22 years old, so we don't have a ton of cash to build a small cottage or cabin on that land. I was thinking about how viable a camper would be (for now), something I could keep loaded up in the garage - ready to go. That way, if the SHTF, I could throw my plastic totes w/ the rest of my gear in my pickup bed, hook up the camper, and be on my way. Once we got to the land, the camper would provide us shelter. I'm open to any thoughts on this as viable shelter for an extended period of time (6 mo. or more) I know it wouldn't be comfortable, but it would be better than the alternative.
