The Congressman Who Went Off the Grid [turned prepper]
    #19369032 - 01/04/14 04:17 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

Thought some of you guys might enjoy this article about an 87 year old Congressman of 20 years that is now a prepper.

"He rises at dawn every day except Saturday (he’s a Seventh Day

Adventist) and spends 10 to 12 hours cutting logs, tending gardens and

painting walls. I ask Bartlett, as he climbs a ladder to an attic, if

he has ever had any health problems. No, he says, besides a little

arthritis and acid reflux. He may be pushing 90, but his weathered

skin, hearing aid and walking stick are the only reasons you’d think

he’s gotten old. When his wife suggests we use “the Gator,” a John

Deere golf cart-like vehicle, to tour their refuge, he refuses,

preferring to go by foot.

Bartlett bought the 153-acre property in the early 1980s for $80,000

and built the five cabins himself, wiring the solar panels and running

pipes from a freshwater spring to the cabins, work that consumed him on

and off for the last couple decades."
