Survival.

As you all know I have a strong interest in survival without getting parranoid. It is my belief that if TEOTWAWKI ever happens, we 18th century living historians stand the best chance of survival outside of a bunker situation. I follow certain blogs & contribute to certain survival forums, & recently came across the following warning. Take it with a pinch of salt if you will, but probably worth looking at just the same.

Primitive Survival. A Video of one man's thoughts & preparation.

I like this video, it is not easy to explain the way this chap is living, because right now, like me, he can't help but be a part of the system. Whilst that system & its laws & regulations exist, we are forced to be a part of it. Only when the system collapses will we be free to live the life this chap is talking about. But now is the time to prepare.
The system breakdown may not happen, but it has happened before. The thing I think to remember is, this preparation is fun, it is enjoyable & educational & well worth doing. 18th century Living History & Historical Trekking gives me this preparation, this training, this enjoyment. So why not prepare, just in case!  



Something I noticed in this video, the birds sound like he is in Australia, and he uses the terms bush & tucker, which I also associate with Australia.
