A hyperthetical question.................

hello,
Simon B I know we went kind of O.T but yes I've done a 28 days+ stint in a Bunker more than once, without coming outside. rationing water purification etc.. similar to what you were hypothetically discussing. I suppose in a cave system taking into consideration the loss of creature comforts, damp living conditions, ailments from such etc.. I'm sure there would be a few who would be heading to take their chances outside rather than such conditions. It ain't easy BTW ok a 24-48 hour NBC kit dug into a trench exercise scenario etc.. try it longer term
Regards
David

I think in the long run you'd probably shuffle off your mortal coil, assisted with some lead. To be honest dark damp living conditions are going to cause depression in the long term. Also humans are social creatures, without social interaction and natural light, your already playing with fire.

oh god how many times have I heard that " humans are social animals"?? not all of us are, I prefer to be away from people, solitude is the ideal for me cant stand crowds.

I'm not really a people person either, but some company is good for morale. I'd be happy with just my OH and my dog.

[Midge_Fodder]

No don't get me wrong I'm as anti social as the rest of you, but why do you think solitary is used in the penal system. Being on your own for large periods of time with literally no company will drive you mad, especially in those conditions.

[bigpaul]

depends on the company, some people are BAD for morale, give me an animal any day.

not me buddy, I THRIVE on being away from people, spent most of my childhood and a big chunk of my adult life alone, I prefer to be alone.

[Midge_Fodder]

Aye that's a fair point.

[TheDogsSlave]

give me an animal any day.

You want to be careful how you say that but I take your point, in the main animals are far better company than most people.
