“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” — Robert A. Heinlein

Mountain man invades remote cabins, tasting occasional luxury

Read the story here.  My thoughts are as follows:

This reinforces why I carry a pistol on me and keep a long gun handy in the woods..

If the idea of a cabin or "retreat" that is fully stocked just waiting for you to leave urban/ suburban life to ride out tough times has not already been sufficiently discouraged this may help.

Why does he have to be a survivalist, couldn't he have been a dimented vegitarian or a PETA nut or something?

Be careful if you spend time in rural Southern Utah.

Because for an 'info babe', the word 'SURVIVALIST' paints a whole lot of words at once, saves newsprint ink and space. Besides, you know if you are armed and in the woods, you GOTTA be 'one of them'.

Omg, put a special forces guy on it, have him trail him and take him out. Done.

Had a couple kids doing stuff like this up in Skwentna in 2010. It was pretty epic, really, you'd've thought it was the plot to a movie or something.
