America

[Tibbs735]

It's really easy to make sweeping generalizations. I wager that a lot of rural Americans are survivalists but don't know it, they practice self sufficient skills, own guns, are liberty minded and want to hold on to independence. I would do anything for American citizenship
A lot of people consider themselves prepared because they went out and bought some MREs and various firearms, with little to no training, experience or serious thought on what using them would imply. America has the danger of the "Brass Horde" as well as the more well known golden horde, i.e. people who focus on the most exciting part of prepping, by buying lots of guns to feed a misinformed mental fantasy, then have the means and desire to take from others when reality sets in.
To quote J.W. Rawles, "Owning a gun doesn't make you a shooter any more than owning a surfboard makes you a surfer."
There are a lot of normal preppers in America, who own AR's and other guns, know how to shoot, but also focus on other skills like homesteading, like this guy http://www.youtube.com/user/wranglerstar
