I guess living in caves can't be all bad.Our ancestors did it for thousands of years before they figured out how to make huts(houses) out of mammoth bones.
I wonder if we will have to build more houses out of bones?I always wanted to live underground on the moon or mars.Seems like now is a good time to go.triffid

I have lived in a tent on my own land for three months and found the experience to be a good one.If you can stay in your sleeping bag you have it made in the winter.I was in graduate school at the time and to get out of bed to go to class(1979-80).While I would not repeat that experience again.I might go for a large military tent like they had on the tv series MASH now that I'm retired.I cooked a lot of meals on an open fire by supporting an iron skillet on two bricks.And feeding the fire twigs and other pieces of wood.Tent keeping was usually a breeze.triffid

You have a point.
I'm a genealogist and most Americans had native East European tribal ancestors living in those types of huts 15,000-25,000 years ago.
Caves can also smell from the previous recent inhabitant, even though a strong cave with a good roof is excellent protection against bears, lions, saber-tooth cats, etc.

The science fiction author Robert Heinlein(now deceased), had as a plot point in one of his early novels that people used to live on the Moon, but they("Lunarians"(?)---I made up a new word??!!??) were gone by the time the heroic space explorers got there.

If you could find a way off Earth, now is the time to plan a getaway.
There's several fairly and seemingly benign economic problems that will become harshly evident in due course.

Buy a one way ticket to Mars.           
Or convince the "Greys" from the Orion Nebula to take you and trust they won't treat you like a head of cattle and experiment on you!

I like buying a one way ticket to mars best.The cattle method would not be healthy for me.I do think I will end up in St.Louis,Mo.in a couple of months to began a new adventure in my life.I do have raw property in Utah to set up my tent on but last I heard it was covered by 6 inches of snow.But St.Louis beckons to me now.Triffid
