That's what the guns are for

Seriously, if you know how to make a fire correctly, there will be very little smoke and you can shield the flame at night. I'm not claiming to have all the answers Glatt. My point was simply that I am prepared to do everything I can to maximinze my and my wife's chances of surviving should the shit hit the fan. Better prepared than most people I would imagine.

I'm not trying to shoot you down. I'm just pointing out that surviving must also take into account other people. I can't remember where I read it, but something that stuck with me once is that you don't want other people to think you are "rich" (have food and supplies.) Don't throw your empties out side. After you eat some food, hide the empty cans and wrappers. If somebody is looking for food and they see a big pile of empty MRE bags or cans out your back door, they are going know you have food, and they will want it. Hide your "wealth" so you don't have to defend it, and be prepared to defend it if it comes to that.
