Why Survival?

[bigpaul]

I grew up in the post-war era, parents didn't have much money but what they did have was a pantry, no freezers or supermarkets in those days, Dad had an area of the garden for growing veg, he didnt grow spuds but we were pretty much self sufficient in other veg, a few years later he got a lean to greenhouse and then we had tomatoes everywhere! i joined the scouts and learned about fire lighting and outdoor living. i had never heard of Survivalism until i saw a programme on the TV about it( that Louis person-i'm sure you've all seen it), it wasn't until 9/11 and then 7/7 that i got really involved in survivalism-i really DID think there was going to be a civil war in this country,. i still do!
