I would say that I'm a good mix of 'back to lander', 'cash-outer' and 
'survivalist'. Thanks for your definitions, Gene, I enjoyed reading and 
identifying with them. Luckily, as a kid I enjoyed reading about and 
practicing what bits I could of survival lore. The Foxfire series was a 
favorite read even when I was fairly young. So, although I didn't have any 
real-country hands-on experience (other than some gardening, horses and 
chickens and goats experience), I hit the ground running when I got here and 
am not sorry for jumping off the deep end when I did.

And by the way -- we have power back! Some of y'all could probably hear the 
cheers for joy that went up on our backwoods road. I'm surprised they didn't 
have fireworks and confetti flying when I got home, lol. I'm glad to get more 
time to properly prepare for real survival stints, haha. There sure is less 
house-cleaning going on in the dark, though, since you can't see the dirt to 
clean it. Now I see it so I have to get busy cleaning.
