I guess the way to start off this blog is to share some of my thoughts with you so that you can get a better handle on me and how I look at the World today. For one, I think that Survivalism, emergency preparedness and self reliance are all pretty much one and the same. Or it should be in my opinion. I don’t consider myself as a “Survivalist” in the traditional sense that most people think of a Survivalist. Let’s face it, when most people think of a Survivalist, they think of Rambo holding out in some remote area waiting for the World to collapse. That’s not me and I’m sure it’s not most of your folks. If you’re one of those folks, more power to you and please save a spot for me if I’m wrong! =)
