Howdy All,Idea time. Let's play "what if"Are familiar with the location of Uranium City, SK?? For those not so familiar it is on the Northshore of Lake Athabasca in Sask. It was a thriving community for about 30 years or so - I believe. Now, it is mostly a ghost town. Here is the what if part.....What if, a whole bunch of like-minded people showed up next summer and each family bought a house/home in Uranium City?? Think of the possibilities. It is isolated enough that most pandemics would not infect the area. There are no large cities within 500km's, so being over run by refugees is not likely. There is plenty of fresh surface water in the area. I bet winter's are a little extreme for those from Victoria, but survivalible. I have not looked to see what house prices are, but a ready made city to walk in and bring back to life has potential. Sorry, I have no idea at all of the potential for employment. However, in the coming years the oilsands on the Saskatchewan side will be a major employer. Fort McMurray would be a source of employment but it is a long boat ride from Uranium City. Maybe if we re-populated Uranium City WestJet would fly direct to Fort Mac??Maybe if a few more add their ideas or other potential ghost towns that could be re-inhabitated we could find a solution, and remove the major need for a BOL and just bug-in with thousands of like minded folks??????Mountainman.

Horses would be my preference if out on the open prairies, where I am. If you have to go Nomadic I think you can assume that any fuel will be in short supply. But possibly Canoe in the summer and dogsled in the winter.
