While it is not exhaustive in coverage, it  is complete as to the needs of most people. Before adding long lists of  your personal extra needs, try calculating the cost of these bare  essentials. You will be amazed at the high cost of contingency  preparations. This is not intended to discourage you, but rather, to  help you realistically determine your future financial priorities so as  to ensure you have bought the essentials before adding the  sophisticated extras. After you have acquired about half of the  recommended items, you will become aware of a critical lack of storage  space within your home&#8211;if it is designed like most American houses. To  assist you in planning for a more self-sufficient residence we have  also included a brief summary of the concepts outlined in the 500 page  Survival Home Manual. If you desire to pursue the subject in more  detail, we suggest you order the manual direct from our Architectural  offices using the order form at the end to the booklet.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #008000;\">Philosophy And Design Criteria of The Survival Home<\/h3>\n<p>Survival architecture is the unique design combination (in the  proper proportion) of facilities, materials, supplies, equipment,  knowledge and skill exactly matching a correct analysis of what  shortages and crises we will face in the future. In achieving this  purpose I make reference to the fact that &#8220;survival means more than  solar&#8221; to emphasize the need to avoid becoming too involved with only  one aspect of self-sufficiency at the expense of the others. This error  in proper perspective has become the most common mistake in the entire  craze for self-sufficiency. With each new product devised, a  corresponding marketing slogan usually appears describing &#8220;how you can  become totally self-sufficient&#8221; with their product. The potential  severity of future crises, however, seems to dictate that no one  product brings total self-sufficiency. It seems most probable in the  final analysis that no set of products or facilities, no matter how  complete,brings anything but temporary self-sufficiency for a lone  individual.<\/p>\n<p>There are a variety of terms and definitions floating around in the  &#8220;self-sufficiency&#8221; arena&#8211;one of the least understood pertains to  &#8220;survival and &#8220;retreat&#8221; philosophy. &#8220;Self-sufficiency&#8221; as a term is  well accepted and enjoys frequent use among the entire social strata,  whereas &#8220;survival&#8221; intimates &#8220;gloom and doom&#8221;. However, under more  careful scrutiny, it becomes obvious that &#8220;survival&#8221; and  &#8220;self-sufficiency&#8221; are nearly synonymous. In actuality, the purpose of  self-sufficiency is to SURVIVE various crises where one is in  competition with others for scarce resources: ie, food and fuel  shortages, dwindling finances, or social unrest, etc.<\/p>\n<p>There is a significant difference between the general term  &#8220;survival&#8221; and its child, the &#8220;retreat&#8221; philosophy, which is an  ultimate reaction at the limits of the self-sufficiency concept.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #008000;\">Why Self &#8211; Sufficiency?<\/h3>\n<p>Many subscribe to the view that most of our future economic woes and  commodity shortages will be government induced through bureaucratic  mismanagement and excessive regulation. So, you say, the responsibility  will simply fall back on ourselves, where it rightly belongs. However,  this view overlooks our prime and ever-increasing social weakness; that  our society has become so specialized in its occupational endeavors, we  no longer have the will or skills to revert rapidly to a generalists  society with each providing his own essential skills and services.  Thus, we encounter the real reason for the craze for self-sufficiency:  the inner need to become confident in our ability to provide for  ourselves and our family should a minor or major crisis or shortage  arise. The motive to save a few heating dollars is perhaps primary with  many who may purchase a wood stove, but it soon becomes obvious to most  woodburners that wood heat is only a small portion of their total  self-sufficiency needs. In fact, when you tally all the other  additional self-sufficiency needs such as water, waste disposal,  electricity, storage space, tools, and security, you suddenly realize  that you have come face to face with the word &#8220;survival&#8221;, which is the  word that, in essence, reflects &#8220;ultimate self-sufficiency&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #008000;\">Everything Involves a Priority Choice<\/h3>\n<p>While the survival retreat concept gets all the headlines in the  hard money newsletters, its share of actual dollars invested is  insignificant. From my experience as the architect most often involved  in survival housing, the majority of client energy and funds are  devoted to residential upgrade and preparation within the bounds of  suburban or semi-rural living. Why? Frankly because very few people  have the time, money or inclination to separate themselves completely  from society even though they believe that difficult economic and  social problems will be forthcoming.<\/p>\n<p>100% rural self-sufficiency is almost impossible to achieve on anything  more than a hermit level. Even then it is either all-time consuming or  inordinately expensive and probably both.<\/p>\n<p>In the final analysis then, everything in the survival and  self-sufficiency field is a compromise or trade off of one lesser asset  for another more important to you. If you want isolation to have  security, then you usually sacrifice social ties, time and gasoline in  commuting, and maybe electricity, telephone, and leadership  opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>There are ways of overcoming these compromises&#8211;if you have enough  money, additional manpower and equipment; but you may become so  sophisticated that you aren&#8217;t self-sufficient any more. No two  individuals or families should utilize the same self-sufficiency plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are the Essential Steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> Begin reading non-governmental analyses of the state of the  nation. Specifically: political, economic, social, military, and moral  trends. Reading recommendations include:PERSONAL FINANCE newsletter901 N. Washington St. suite 605\n<p>Alexandria, Va 22314<\/p>\n<p>Gary North&#8217;s REMNANT REVIEW<\/p>\n<p>P. O. BOX 39800<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix, AZ 85069<\/li>\n<li>Analyze the condition of your local state and community as to long term survivability in a crisis:Most favorable criteria are:low population density (50 people per sq. mile or less)\n<p>High level of religious, moral character.<\/p>\n<p>Lack of highly unionized heavy industry, or welfare populous.<\/p>\n<p>Strong local autonomy with little attachment to federal funds.<\/p>\n<p>Diversified economy with an agricultural base.<\/li>\n<li>Make a series of decisions based upon your national and local  assessment as what problems you most likely will encounter. Note: You  cannot come to a proper design of a self-sufficient or survival  residence unless you have determined what shortages, crises, or threats  you face. The better your research, the more accurate your predictions  will be.<\/li>\n<li>Read the Survival Home Manual and study the essentials of survival  residential design to determine what your present home lacks and what  is available in new or remodeled survival construction.<\/li>\n<li>Determine, financially and security wise, whether you should remain  in your present home and remodel, move and build or buy a more suitable  home. Consider job, and\/or commuting time. It is imperative that you do  not destroy your income producing ability unless you have other means  or opportunities to turn to which will survive most economic downturns.  Don&#8217;t be tricked into thinking you can go &#8220;live off the land&#8221;. The  capital required for machinery and non-growable necessities will  require substantial monthly income.<\/li>\n<li>Start saving and begin a monthly procurement plan for acquiring the  items listed in the 10 packs for survival. Do it each month&#8211;don&#8217;t wait  for enough money to accumulate for a one time purchase of  everything&#8211;it may not be readily available then.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The foregoing introductory material is essential in order to  appreciate the following survival design criteria. The quantity of  preparedness features I will describe may not be necessary in every  case, depending on the relative security of the location you choose to  live in. Remember, the more self-sufficient and secure the area in  which you live, the less it costs you to prepare for personal survival,<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000; font-weight: bold;\">Primary Faults of Conventional Housing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The following are the six essential liabilities of the conventional residential structure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> Lack of security (fire, intrusion, vandalism)<\/li>\n<li> Poor resistance to heat, cold, wind, and sun.<\/li>\n<li> Lack of storage facilities (food, dry goods, machinery etc).<\/li>\n<li> Poor floor plan efficiency (costly wasted space, lack of emergencyaccommodations)<\/li>\n<li> Single source of heat for space heating, water heating, ,@Ind cooking.<\/li>\n<li> Single source of water and electrical power.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #008000; font-weight: bold;\">Design Criteria<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In my actual design work, the most common concern expressed by the  wife of a client is that the home not look like a fortress or a bunker.  This is not only possible but preferable. There is no benefit in  becoming a known target for resentment during hard times. The best  survival residences are designed to look completely conventional both  inside and out, so that you may stay within the bounds of society  without appearing as an extremist and encouraging undue resentment.<\/p>\n<p>The properly designed survival residence has within its walls and  private recesses all the equipment and design technology that allows  you to maintain a nearly normal lifestyle throughout a crisis. This is  extremely important to the family man who must maintain his income  during hard times. He cannot afford to take time off from work to heat  hot water over a camp stove during an electrical outage or stand guard  over his house day and night when major civil disturbances occur.<\/p>\n<p>The following are some of the major design features of a survival residence:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> Independent well water and\/or water storage facilities integral with the home<\/li>\n<li> Multi-fuel furnace (burns at least three different fuels)<\/li>\n<li> Reserve or standby electrical power<\/li>\n<li> Multi-fuel cooking facilities, and water heating equipment<\/li>\n<li> Secure walls, doors, and windows with intrusion monitoring equipment<\/li>\n<li> Superior energy-conserving structural design utilizing solar and underground design where possible<\/li>\n<li> Secret and semi-private storage facilities which include a fallout shelter<\/li>\n<li> Maintenance and repair facilities with appropriate tools<\/li>\n<li> Greenhouse and other food production facilities<\/li>\n<li> Internal communications equipment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you are questioning the potential costliness of a full survival  residence, consider this: it is not intended to discourage you from  acting due to lack of sufficient funds, but rather to show you the  importance of ordering your financial priorities In order to start  preparing in the most critical areas first. In all cases, never place  all of your available funds into one, or even two areas at the  exclusion of all others.<\/p>\n<p>If, in the final analysis, you find that not all of your  self-sufficiency preparations were utilized, you will have at least  spent many a restful night with the assurance that you have done  everything within your ability to prepare you and your family for  realistic potential difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>Both those who wish to relocate permanently and those who may simply  desire to construct a vacation retreat cabin elsewhere will need some  guidance as to the best areas for security: We have made available to  our clients the most comprehensive security map covering the entire  United States, both as to the most dangerous areas and the most secure  areas.
