Welcome, BaseCampUSA,
Sounds like you're a true survivor. I had a friend some years back who went through the VisionQuest program. It changed his life.
I'm looking forward to picking your brain, my friend. I'd love to see some pics of your work and if you have any design plans for
any of the shelters you've built, I'd love to see them. At the moment, my wife and I are tied to the grid in a major metropolitan
area, but my plan, of course, is to eventually - read as soon as possible - leave the cities behind and get a place of peace and
seclusion. I am considering building my own place, but I'm still exploring the myriad methods from which I can choose. Any insight
into your methods, since you actually walk the walk, would be greatly appreciated not just by me, but from everyone here, I'm sure.
Once again, welcome and I look forward to sharing knowledge.
Peace,
Shrike
