a network of "tree houses" where possible woven of the living branches of the trees them selves. bark would be smoothed to prevent climbing and access only by rope ladder and basket both of which are always in the retracted position except when in use. open air for the most part there will be some, however, that are totally enclosed. large trees that can stand it will be hollowed and allow access to the underground complex from the upper story by spiral stair encased within the tree. cold storage below.

admitted: people i wouldnt mind being stuck with forever.

supplies: fresh fruit and herbs from surrounding forest; dried and preserved fruits, vegetables, herbs, meat and other food stuffs. medicinal books on herbs, preparations, procedures, and diagnosis; knives, cured wood, rope, cloth, needles, patters for making said items out of other materials; loom, drying racks, weapon racks; books on hunting, curing leather, cooking, and other useful crafts; small library of fiction; chess board; clothing, wool, fiber for making more rope; (if i think of something i've forgotten i might add more to the list)

defensible from above and mostly camouflaged from sight, we will be safe from murderers or mad men (mad zombies) on the ground. with perpetual views of the sky no one will get 'cabin fever' some few might feel cooped up but they can be trained as scouts and hunter/ gatherers and trusted with the task of leaving and returning with needed supplies.

what have i forgotten?
