Good blog article on " Lone Wolf Survivalists"

[NorthernRaider]

I've had 30 plus years of survivalism and preping to get to the position I'm in now, and my experiences of anything more than loose cooperation have always ended up in the negative. As soon you form any size of group you get an instant cliques who end up dominating everything usually to the loss of the less rowdy or less pushy members . You get personality cults, bullies, religous nut jobs and of course the dreaded rampant socialist who wants to create a utopian rural idyl naturally with the socialist in charge.
Civilians do not make good team players they normally end up under the will of the strongest character. I go with BP and MIKE lonesome is best with help appreciated if available.

I remember a certain member of Slistuk who wanted everyone to move to a particular part of the west country and by coincidence it was the same place the members wife wanted to move to. He wnted to set up a community of skilled preppers naturally with him in the management role....................And he couldnt understand why no one wanted to play !!!!!

If TSHTF and I was away from home and I had a MSA with a prepper in the area I would ask for his assistance and if forthcoming I would put myself totally under his command until I moved on, equally if other preppers got stranded near me I would do my damndest to help and assist but i would be in charge, if they cant accept that so be it I'll refill their water tanks, give em maps and food if I can and let them go on their way.

I'm not saying groups are bad full stop but I've had my fare share of "yeah yeah you can count on me" and when you do they're nowhere to be seen"

Understatement of the year award goes to Mike, the prepping community is I honestly believe 70% armchairs, wannabes, fantastists and folks using forums as their social lives , I'm not knocking these folks cos its their lives and their choices but they do make it bloody hard to find the seriously commited survivalists and preppers amid all the noise. My much documented efforts at rendezvous is a great example of people promising all sorts and deliving or keeping none.
