I agree with Jason. Let’s pass on the conspiracies, and cover the “known” things in survivalblog stuff.

We can cover the reptilains in another life.

We already know about the Banksters.

Sort of tired of the UFO’s.

Let’s do hardcore survival instead. We know the other stuff is comming anyway.

Are we going to be seeing tin foil hats featured on your blog?

Knobby, I use the term “hardcore survival” as follows:

a. Embracing the reality that something is indeed very wrong with our future, requiring us to inquire into it, and take whatever small measures are available to us to lessen the impact.

b. Preparation for the worst, as best we can.

c. Removing ourselves from the “herd” instincts, and thinking for ourselves, using the best information that is available.

Knobby, sorry for the misleading term I used. Blame it on my military background, where we used that term to mean a “no non-sense, tried and true, void of speculation and the abstract”, to approach a mission.

As in: “Taking a hardcore approach” to a problem.

My 32 years in the Army has corrupted me in many ways from expressing myself in clear terms! LOL.

@Corporate Barbarian – Wow! I’d say you’re a couple of orders of magnitude better prepared than I am. What do you keep at your house? (you know, so I can loot it ;-D .)

HSpencer – No need to apoligize, just different meanings from different people with different backgrounds and ways of living…

You can have hardcore survival in alot of situations – like I know of one person who actually has a raise gun turret on his property and 1000 gallons of buried gasoline. I would also call that ‘hardcore’ LOL

Jacob, it would be interesting to see how many readers have stored food, guns and ammo, underground shelters, contingency plans for relocation to a safer area, medical kits beyond the standard first aid stuff, stocks of firewood, or whatever. Gas masks? MRE’s?
To start I have:

A tornado shelter (small for two people).
Bottled Water (6 months worth for drinking/cooking)
Freeze Dried Staples, beans, rice, pastas.
Guns: Primary defense is 12 GA Riot Shotgun, Smith and Wesson 357 Mag, M1911A1 Colt .45′s (collection of them), 44 AMT Automag, to name a few. Ammo in good stockage for all.
A used but good condition ATV (all terrain vehicle).
I live in a secluded rural area of agriculture and livestock, where time has not degraded the American culture.
Plenty of cases of MRE’s
Propane Stoves
M17 Gas Masks for self and wife-
Sleeping bags to -40 below.
etc.
