One concept that many modern survivalists aspire to is to be less dependent on “the system“ or independent of “the system”.   I know this seems like a great goal but the problem with it is that it is not “a system” or “the system” the reality is that we are dependent today on multiple interconnected systems. Each of these systems is becoming more globalized and centralized and the dependence upon them in growing at an alarming rate.  While there are more systems of dependency then the following today we will focus on what I consider the 8 largest systems of … Continue reading →

A question I get often is some variation of the following…. When do I stop prepping for a while and simply save some of our money? When have I invested enough into prepping and should just start blowing some money once in a while? How do I stay positive in the face of all the problems headed our way? In essence these folks are asking at the core of things…. Is there hope in spite of the danger? Is it okay to just have fun in spite of what might be coming? Is there a such things as a “maintenance … Continue reading →

I call myself a modern survivalist, well what does that mean.  What is the difference between a modern survivalist vs. a traditional survivalist or a primitive survivalist.  What are the fundamentals of modern survivalism?  What does it mean to survive anyway?  Why are we coded as humans to survive and what are we surviving for?

I see and hear versions of this admittedly extreme version of why survivalists are nuts all the time. I just talked to a guy that pointed out how “we were all gonna die from swine flu” and it turned out to be nothing but “a bunch of bullshit”. I guess he hadn’t listened to my show called, “Lessons From the Non Event of Swine Flu“. It is really common though for the average person to look at a “prepper” or “survivalist” and wonder why we in their minds waste money and resources. The reality is we actually save money and … Continue reading →

Monday I responded to a listener who asked a question about planning and he was hoping for a checklist.  My response was that I can’t really give you a hard check list because you must develop your own plan (Tenet Ten of Modern Survival Philosophy).  From the beginning of TSP I have stated that to be the case, I also realized that it has been a long time since I did a show on planning and that I have never really dissected the personal aspect of planning for the needs of the individual and their immediate family.  So today we … Continue reading →

Today we discuss 18 items that I think should eventually be in the home of ever modern survivalist.  Some are common items that we talk about often, others are items that are often over looked or not considered “prepper items”.  The key is this is NOT a complete list or even a punch list, just a group of items we should all be aware of and think about. If you have items that are not on the list (other then food or guns because no one leaves those out ever) please chime in with your suggestions in the comments area. … Continue reading →
