I already discussed the problem of self-defense. I stated the ability to survive for a year - not necessarily forever and not necessarily when bands of thugs are roaming the countryside killing people.
You sound like you've got a HUGE chip on your shoulder. Does it bother you when others try to look ahead a bit?
As to the rest? I said one year, not forever. If I had to, and had a year to do it - I'm not sure exactly what kind of adaptations I could come up with.
As to your comment "REALLY???you dont drive,can plow, plant, harvest,feed your animals,clothe yourself,supply your water,all your food,"
If I have to run a car, truck or tractor - I have 1000 gallons of diesel fuel here and have several diesel cars and trucks. I also have one car that with a gas engine and a smoke-capture system that runs on wood-smoke. Same was done by many during WWII.
For planting? I have a Case tractor that will run on wood-smoke IF I need to use a tractor. We also have many non-hybrid seeds in storage.
Animals? We'd able to feed a few but not a large herd. We've got 50 acres of fields and 60 acres of woods to browse.
Clothe myself? For a year? I'd got enough clothes here already to last me 10 years. Beside that, my wife makes her own clothes.
Food? I already stated that we have dry food in storage - enough for four adults for one year. Also have over 100 acres of land where native foods grow. Indians who lived here before me didn't have super markets. Yes, Indians had to be mobile but that was because they lived in large groups and were generally slobs. They lived in one place until they had garbage all over and the soil and game was depleted - and then moved on. War was another reason why many Indians stayed mobil. The Hurons (Oundats) and Iroquois (Mohawk, Seneca, etc.) were less mobil then most since they grew crops.
Water? We've got water all over the place. Two deep ponds on our land. Springs all over, a dug well, a drilled well, a good running creek, etc. Also have a portable water filter is we ever have to drink "questionable" water.
As far as taking a family into the woods with near nothing to try to survive? All ready have done that in warm weather.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo
