wild fire

[kev80]

So we have been having some wild fires here in Cali. And alot of people have lost their cabins, including me . Thankfully I'm not an one basket kind of guy. But has any thought about this and planned for fires or flooding.

There are a ton of things to discuss in the wildfire section ranging from terrorist to the neighbor who doesn't know what he's doing post shtf and burning all your stuff down to the current .gov shutdown in which many are not working to include firefighters, rangers and forest crews that clear debris in large tracts of land throughout the the U.S. and as well as us keeping underbrush and grass beat back after there is no fuel and electricity in a PAW environment. The following mudslides, rockslides and bogs created by heavy rains and snow are a pain to deal with too. In some places fires won't be an issue cause it will look like Haiti cause everyone will have burned everything around them to stay warm and cook.

Tell us more about what happened, what was lost, what can be done in the future, how it might have changed your perspective etc so that we may learn from your experience please.

Truth be told I only lost about 1years of food, 2000$ in ammo and two atvs. But that was just location c. I don't have one place to bug out to. Never liked all my eggs in one basket.

As for what I have learned, I'm going to set up some under ground storages. Luckily there are a lot old mines and caves, that can be easily modified and updated.

Not really the seirra Nevada hills are earthquake prone, and once the mine or is reinforced it would safe.

when I run up the paranoid flag...
the thought comes to mind, that the zombies (you fill in your own evil group name)
are running around starting fires... causing huge damage to our economy.

As for what I said , the sierra Nevada hills are not earthquake prone . I wrote that before I had my coffee.

I saw some things out west once that really bothered me and that was the brush and tumbleweeds and stuff that everyone just allowed to collect between places. In the forest it seemed very little was done to clear an area and push back the treeline. I know thats part of the draw of living there but it's a fine line between beauty and danger

You're 100% right. But my biggest issues is all the illegal growers. Not only do poison the ground, but most are illegal immigrants and will resort to violence.
