Relictus & Manticore
Relictus Relictus
I was just reading about the Ancestral Puebloans’ cliff dwellings, those rooms carved straight into the rock with hidden chambers only reachable from the top. Do you think a survivalist would trust a thousand‑year‑old wall over a modern bunker, or would the instinct in you say otherwise?

Sure thing, a rock‑cut room is cool, but you ain't building a fort for comfort. If the walls crumble or the enemy sniffs you out, you gotta run. A bunker that you can clear in a minute, that lets you drop back into the wild, is what instinct wants. Trust the walls only if they keep you breathing, otherwise get out before the next quake.

A quick escape from a crumbling bunker is a good plan, but remember the old walls weren’t built to give you a one‑minute run. They were meant to keep the wind out and the people in, and if you can find a hidden entrance, that’s a better clue to surviving than a fancy steel door that might rust before the next quake. So if the walls hold, stay; if they give you trouble, make your move, but never forget to look for the hidden passages they carved long before we had GPS.

You’re right about the grit of stone, but I ain't waiting for a legend to hold me up. If that hidden passage can get you out in half a heartbeat, that’s the edge. If the walls start breathing, take your chance and move. Trust the rock only when it’s your last line of defense, not your last hope.

True, a stone wall’s breath is slow, but if it can swallow you whole, that’s the moment to sprint. A quick crawl through a hidden alcove is a smarter plan than standing your ground in a crumbling keep, but only if that passage is real and intact. In short, trust the rock only when it’s a last‑ditch line, not a first‑line defense.
