In a warming world with rising sea levels, all you have to do is hook up the old pickup to your house and roll it to higher ground. And, you won't need to worry about an increase in your deodorant budget, after all you've never worried about it before. I have to admit people like you do have some advantages.

Too many leftist are ashamed of America and seek to turn it into a wimpy country. America would never have been a great country if liberals and environmentalists had any influence in the 19th century. We wouldn't have ever conquered the west. The left hates it when someone uses natural resources to produce anything it seems. That is what made America great. With the road blocks they keep throwing up, you have to wonder how long we will remain great. Richard’s lack of understanding of American individualism and industrialness is revealing.

They would want the largest wagon they could find (because they need it for safety and hauling their 1 kid around) and would have to have too many horses/oxen to pull it, which would in turn limit their own supply of grains (having gone to the animals). We'll call it grain-guzzling... Also, the "need" for an extremely large cabin (not to mention heating it) would necessitate the cutting down of too much forest. Consequently destroying animal habitat and the food source. EDIT - And Jim Z would not have the rights he has today without liberals! America is a great country, precisely because of the Liberals who helped author our beloved constitution. The left hates it when we over-consume, because they understand there is a balance that must be maintained with nature. Individualism is not the hallmark of the cons. Liberalism is the bedrock of individualism. Liberalism provided the rights and free will enjoyed by the individual. I doubt cons would survive.

To answer your question I doubt if many of them actually knows what it really takes to survive.It's hard work and has less environmental impact then most people could comprehend...and the rewards are far greater.

We environmentalists are socially aware, so we would help you feed others. It sounds to me that you are well on your way to being a Treehugger yourself, Mr Self Sufficient in fuel and food! ha ha Interesting .........

Most of us aren't going to survive a setback to the 19'th century. Statistically, that includes you.

Growing a small garden is not brain surgery. Thing is without tree huggers you may not have any woods left to hunt in, so that's also ironic. In south Louisianna my Dad told me that as a child there were no deer due to poaching left unchecked. Only since game regulations and consevation efforts has the population been able to rebound to the point hunting is even possible again.
