Then you go as far as you can without collapsing.
Besides the fact that some of us are getting old, there are those of us who are sick or get sick or have a health condition. A good percentage of people right now have the flu or are recovering from it. Combine that with age and you have someone who is winded walking a block from the parking garage to the office - me. Then combine that with a bad knee, a bad hip or a bad back, and it is a significant problem.
Getting old sucks and sometimes getting out and "walking it off" just isn't going to happen because that can make it worse not better.
Nope. I'm stayin home. Not happenin.
There is always that. We are working on a bucket list of things we want to do over the next 7 to 10 years. My health will give me that many years hopefully, and after about 5 more trips are checked off the list, the chances of us moving about more than 100 miles from home are slim.
Fact is us older people will be riffed a lot faster the deeper and harder that SHTF. I make no illusions about that. My intent right now is to enjoy the time we have left, not sweat it and if some level of SHTF in my lifetime, then my kids and grand kids will have the memories, and those who survive can help themselves to that pile of smoking brass you will find next to my wrecked out old body.

And when your kids & grandkids make it to your place, they will have the wealth of your knowledge & skills...
This THIS, was a better time in the past. The 80'sView attachment 340396
lol.
Actually once, a bridge had washed out while we were up in the mountains. Built a ramp and jumped the creek.. F-150
Didn't know hospitals had so many backstabbers, overbearing supervisors, conflict, etc. I'm still messed up from it. Best wishes for a better life for ya'll!!
This is true of virtually every business, agency, non profit around. People get into positions of authority and power and if people under them present any kind of a threat to them in exposing their own incompentence then we cannot have that now can we??
The main reason I became self employed for the last two thirds of my working career. I see this on a daily basis where positioning, flat out lying, devious and manipulative behavior are all pretty much standard behavior in management today. Even being self employed, if I had chosen to engage in pay offs to public officials and employees, I could have easily doubled my business volume over the last 10 years. I choose not to, still did fine and could tell the ones that wanted to do business that way to go f off.
If you want to see God laugh?
Just tell him about all your plans.
