No Fuel Shortages Or Bottlenecks Evacuating By Bicycle

You build with locally available materials. In a forest timber is virtually free if you have a sawmill. Usually not all the forest will catch fire every year. You could build a house faced with refractory materials that would resist a forest fire, but it would be costly and environmentally unfriendly (assuming you can't quarry and process the materials locally). If I lived in a forest I'd maybe build a fire cellar, so I could stash my stuff then evacuate. It would be foolish to live in a fire-prone forest and not expect your house to burn down occasionally, and more foolish to try to save the house by not evacuating. But cool to live in a forest. |

Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson" LOL), the Sociopathic Attention Whore
On Sat, 09 Sep 2017 23:20:49 +0100, Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson"),
the pathological attention whore of all the uk ngs, blathered again: The cost of the materials pales in comparison to having your house and possessions stay there. What's wrong with bricks? More relevant question: what's wrong with your head, Birdbrain? -- More from Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) strange sociopathic world: "People who need to take courses should be banned from driving. If it doesn't come naturally, get the **** out of my way." MID: |

Cool to live in a forest? If the place has an internet connection, maybe... and, ideally, a supermarket within striking distance. |

The creepy old thing looks as though it's heard Hurricane Irma is heading its way, so, it's upping sticks and moving somewhere safer. |
