Neo-Survivalist

I’m a regular guy who works in an office 40 hours a week.  I am under 30 years old.  I have a family.  I live in the suburbs of a major city.

I am very into economics and investing.  After researching and reading up on current events and the American economy, I’m convinced that there are some tough, if not disastrous, times ahead.  Times that nobody expects and times that will be completely foreign for the majority of our population.  The disruptions that I think might occur in the future range from uncomfortable to terrifying.  As such, I want to take steps now while I can to prepare myself and my family for a wide variety of uncertain future outcomes.

Early on my journey, I’ve been trying to find additional sites that push me along in this journey and help me get from step A to step B.  I became frustrated because the typical survivalist sites were definitely geared towards the extreme survivalist.  The guy that lives in a crappy house out in the middle of nowhere and owns a few hundred guns and a ton of supplies.  Nothing against that guy, but that’s not me, and I’m not really interested in becoming that guy.  What I am interested in is growing my skill set, becoming more self reliant, and preparing for some scary scenarios.

To sum up my frustration, I could not find a site for survivalist “newbies”.

Thus, this site is born.  I’m going to document my journey.  The journey of a completely unprepared, regular American to a somewhat prepared American who can at least fend for himself in most scenarios that might unravel over the coming years.  I think there are a great many people interested in such content.  If this is too watered down for you, then there are plenty of resources for you: SurvivalBlog.com, SurvivalistBoards.com, etc.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy.
