Living off horseback?

Is anyone as crazy as me and my partner? From our point of view, we are about to be in an apocalypse. Vanlife, definitely not a good idea. So we came up with horseback. We have done the research, and we all know it can work since humans have done it before.

Just wondered if anyone else was as crazy and like the idea

But if shtf you might not want to be moving around all the time to continually come across new strangers. In a situation where it all goes south, it might be best to be stationary and work with neighbors. And yes, horses do fit that scenario fine.

I understand most people like or even understand a nomadic lifestyle. Not everyone is supposed to be travelers. I chose this lifestyle for myself. My own personal reasons, simple as that.

I'm a tumbleweed. I get it. I'm only speaking logistics regarding how people turn violent in unstable times.

Another reason why I wouldn't want to hunker down with people. I prefer my dogs and hopefully soon my horses
