Survival?

So I wanted to take a moment and discuss something that is near and dear to my heart. The subject of survival is very important to me. I often get weird looks and I know people think I am a little crazy when I discuss survival with them. Is it really that hard to believe that a terror attack or natural disaster can knock out our countries infrastructure? Is it that hard to believe that class warfare is a possibility and that violence could be brought upon us by our own countrymen? It happens across the world on a daily basis, are we so ignorant as to believe we are so well protected by our government that nothing can happen to us?

I believe in preparation and step one is planning. I plan for the possibility of things going wrong, I encourage those I love to do the same. One of the first things I put together is a bag with 72 hours worth of supplies. Water, food, blankets, a knife, tools to start fires and build shelter and a firearm with ammo. I call this my bug out bag, a just in case something happens bag. Can you and your family survive for 72 hours cut off from the world?

  1. I'm pretty sure that I can survive for 72 hours cut off from the world..I live in BFE lol! That is interesting, do you think the zombie apocalypse is coming? On a serious note, do you ever conduct "battle drill" type analysis when out in public? I find this helpful since the incidence of asshole's with guns shooting up public random locations. I do find myslef looking form likely avenues of approach, possible protective barriers and locations that can provide tactical advantage...Are we both crazy LOL?

  2. YEs Todd I do this as well. I also profile every individual I see in public. It is not crazy it is necessary for survival. These things happen on a regular basis and it can't be ignored. Why is being prepared crazy, I think not being prepared is. Hey there is an armed gunman, I'm just gooing to scream until he shoots me. Now thats retarded.
