Why Survival?

[mikebratcher69]

I think in a way we as preppers or survivalists have a more primative attitude towards life, more animalistic if you please.
Animals tend not to think about survival, its just natural to them. Squirrels store nuts, birds feed up for winter, bears feed up and hibernate etc..
Maybe we're more atuned to our primitive side that allowed some men to survive for thousands of years whilst other people died.
Some reports about sheeple suggest they'd not want to survive without eastenders or the bill or x factor or a friday night at the pub.
I keep saying it but civilisation is a thin veneer, we're not that different from apes when all said and done, we just wear clothes and have a few more brain cells to rub together. think back to when we were kids, I bet the preppers amoungst us climed trees, built forts and explored, played army etc...
And it's just an assumption but I bet the sheeple didnt.
