miboje that is a good plan. At 62 and being in business I have come to understand a person or country can not borrow their way to financial freedom. I did not understand that early enough.
We have the old MH gone through from the ground up full of fuel and have 10" enclosed trailer if needed. Since doing the 8K trip to the Pacific two years ago we have not used it much but do not plan to sell it. The kids go for driving permits next week so we will soon have four drivers so we could be highly mobile but we moved from back from the city 25 years ago and know or know of most people five miles in each direction which could be a good thing.
However I am optimistic about the future. My kids know how to make and fix housing and vehicles and come up with food. There is a new generation coming of age that is ticked about the financial mess we have borrowed them into. They are only a few short years from running things and they are going to cut waste if given a chance.
We are at risk however of making that transition. When the government money flow slows way down or stops before we make progress on cutting real waste that will be a "wild card" era is a concern of mine.
The son is not a hunter by nature and due to my physical limitations I am not. He told me a few weeks ago he is going for a deer this year with a neighbor who has sons a tad younger than him so if he ever needed meat he would know how to get it without running over it in the road like when we hit a deer. :)
Assuming one will have services as today is OK but being prepared if expected services cease is OK too. :B
I do think owning basic RV's that you can manage to keep mobile makes sense especially if you have them parked in sight of where you live.
