Are there many survivalist on here?
are you ready if something happens and you need to get away from the general public ?
I was years ago, but my son has since pilfered everything I had over to his own personal collection of military gear. I still have a few 5 gallon buckets of dry foods like beans, and peas etc.

Most people would find survival life a bit too much. But when push comes to shove the nails come out.
I make it a point to live away from the mass population. I was doing this before I ever heard the term, " survivalist". Back "then", they called me " ridgerunner", " hill folk", "backwoods".........the list goes on and on.......some say, that I grew my own rocks!
There's no other way to be. If you are not a survivalist, you are susceptible to being dependent in a time of turmoil. If there's no one to be dependent on circumstances could be dire.
Well if you mean by 'survivalist' that I Could live using the basics if I Had to, then yes, I am one. Big Biz is trying harder and harder to force most people into large cities because our resources are dwindling. But I've used a wood stove, grown and preserved my own food, can sew and do a host of other things if need be. Most people can grow some of their own food, even if only in containers on a patio or fire escape, they should do so.
perhaps i should have been more precise. i mean is anybody on here in a position where they have food, munitions, fuel and a safe place set up where they can go if something disastorous happens.
