I agree

I believe that the secret to staying alive is being as mobile as possible and that doesn't work with half a ton of ammo to cart everywhere you go.The problem with the log cabin and crops scenario is simple ,sooner or later you would have to defend it against marauders and what happens if all your hard work growing the stuff comes to nothing because of some blight on your crops? I know the value of a good blade and just like you that would be high on my list of must haves, a gun is only any use if you have the ammo and like you say sooner or later it's going to run out.
