$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Serial_Worrier', 'W')hat if you live in Kansas where there are no hills to build a defend-able high position?
I see you do not know the term "military crest", nor what that means simply from your post.
Think what that says for this discussion?
If you want to be self prepared in Kansas, the wind is your first enemy, military crest can be obtained with earth bank as many in greensburg now understand a little better than they used to.
The psychology of self preparedness begins with a realization that "prepared" means ready for the perceived and planning for the unknown.
For instance, in tornado alley, you face the same conditions we face in hurricane country, the existence of all you have can be instantly denied by an act of nature unless you prepare for that act. To be prepared for human intervention is easier.
Defending the high ground makes a good war story, avoiding the conflict is a better approach to survival. I made a map of all the bridges and road cuts around the area I live in many years ago.
