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?
