Reply #10: Survivalism

[Pioneerliving]

Hello People,

Well, Survivalist? Homesteaders? Patriots?

Most are not religious fanatics, nor a militia, nor some government party. No! They are just people! People that care about freedom and civil rights.

Let me explain what you would call a survivalist is:
Keep strong........




What does it mean to be a survivalist some will ask?


It means being prepared for what life brings through planning, learning, and preparing for any possible future.

Often when people think about a survivalist, they envision someone who is trained in the outdoors and can survive off the land but a survivalist also stock piles food and possibly weapons to prepare for a disaster and the future unknown.

A survivalist tries to live the most meaningful life, and prepares for the possibilities of the future. This often comes through being as self sufficient as possible, and being responsible for one's own self and family, protection, health, and sustenance as well as shelter.

Common thought is to be a survivalist; one must live in the country on many acres of ranch or farmland. Although this may be ideal, there are other aspects for a survivalist to consider:

Being able to buy a plot of land in the country and still have a job that pays well is limiting by both population and by industry but can be done.

As most advise when it comes to the cities on survival “get out”.


I will leave you with this thought:

"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
-- Samuel Adams

Hope that helps
