You like to come off as not materialistic, but you like your guns, and they are pretty expensive. Material things aren't important until you don't have any. When I got divorced, I lost almost everything. It wasn't the material object, it was the memories. All my children's toys, for example. I wish I had pictures at least.

And speaking of pictures, these treasured memories should be scanned and saved digitally, because even if they aren't damaged in a disaster, they spoil due to age.

If you have homeowner's insurance, and would like to benefit from it in the event of a disaster, this is good advice. Or don't. 

Do you argue about everything?

And if that happens, I will rebuild and nature will reclaim it over and over again. Such is life.BTW, I never said I didn't have anything, I have lots of things most of which are good friends and family who love me, a great job, house, land, many things. All of the material things are to be incredibly cliche' just dust in the wind........

Well, you have a gennie, a henhouse, a hydroponic greenhouse... These could be blown away in a tornado. Even if you think you don't have anything, you really do.

That is why I have never taken much stock in my personal belongings. I respect others that do, but for me it is just stuff. I actually am trying to create as little materialistic wake as possible. There is a strong pull in humanity to try to have one's legacy reach into the future as far as possible, as part of my rebellious sprit I am actually trying to do the opposite. I think it would be cool to be forgotten completely as soon as possible for no other reason than it is contrarian.

Take out your camera and walk around your dwelling and take pictures of every single thing. Then, if you have a loss like Triskele's family suffered, you will at least have a picture, and therefore the memory, of that treasured item. Also, you then have a record for insurance purposes, so even if you have a major fire, you have a record of your belongings.

Save these images on a disc or flash drive (even better, have at least 2 of each) and put them in a safe place off site, up in the cloud, a safe deposit box, etc.
