You are used to living like you do and they are not, and you all are in a hostile place, I get it.
That was not my point. My point is they are proud people who now have to swallow their pride and accept help. When people want to help you, you need to do the same. It is not about being used to living that way, it is about living in a camping tent in the freezing winter and accepting help when someone offers it. WNC and YOU need help getting something to live in, all I see is people helping them and offering you help but you tell them to help someone in WNC.
I am just asking if you would consider accepting help when offered, even if it is a post about you. You have seen the power of the internet throughout all of this.
I am sorry for this bringing back PTSD on you, but I know you will not stop trying to help WNC so I will not say take a break for a short bit, only do your best to keep yourself and your doggies warm.
I hear you and I understand your meaning. I always accept help from folks unless I have a good reason not to. I dunno if I can really explain it better than saying that: By folks worrying about me it was causing me to worry about them worrying about me.
It was a bugger of a feedback loop that goes back over several months now and yeah I just want them to focus on the folks in the DZ. It is never going to make logical sense to you (or anyone else for that matter) because it is/was not logical... it is/was a feeling.
Like I keep saying, I am trying to sell this place and move on. Investing in a shed or any other building makes zero sense and would just be a waste of money. I am also totally fine in a tent and have things setup as well as I can to winter in it safely.
If I felt like I needed something more sturdy I would use the small amount of lumber and other materials that I have on hand to build a shack or something. I could have done that by now but it would just be more stuff to take apart when I do move.
I really do not get all that concerned about the cold weather until it hits single digits and is going to remain there for days. Even then I know exactly all the things that I need to do to survive because I have had to do it before.
I hope that helps.
