SURVIVAL & PREPAREDNESS ARTICLES

We find the courage of our convictions as we develop those convictions - it's not like some leap of faith but rather a meandering walk through new territory. All good things take time - I am under the impression that you're new to this, so don't beat yourself up because you're not as passionate as people who have been involved for years (over 40 for me). It will come in its own time - enjoy the journey and do not rush headlong to meet the destination ~WW

This section contains articles on survivalism and preparedness issues. Here you can find out how to make specific preparations through careful planning and regular practice. The purpose is to give you all the basic information you need, then get you thinking about how to translate what you know into an action plan. Reader articles of a similar nature are welcomed!
