I am unable to explain why I googled the word 'survival' a few months ago but I ended up here after having looked at a great many other sites based elsewhere. I suspect that it was something to do with all the doom and gloom regarding the global economy, rising prices, falling income, reliance on the grid etc..
In a way I suppose I have been a survival person most of my life. I do not have any particular major skills that I can rely on and my i.q. as measured by the powers that be at a certain age was/is below par. But I have made my way, paid the bills and kept my nose clean so to speak.
This site coupled with other interests that I have has given me a new focus for the future (which seems a little shaky at the moment) because I wish to survive well and independently and have a quality of life that is not totally supplied by third parties. Detatching from the grid and using the natural elements for my own family requirements is a challenge that I will try to meet given lasting health and one or two functioning cells in the dome.
