Welcome to the Outpost!

  So you accidentally found my blog. Good! I thought it was important to have a place to talk about current events and how they could affect us. There are lots of sites that talk about survival and preparedness. I happen to be subscribed to many of them but as I look through them I see some things that bother me and that is what this Blog is here to address. I’m not here to talk about what rifle is the sexiest, and what knife you must absolutely have to survive. I want to talk to people about the less fun aspects of survival. Of course we are going to talk about the fun stuff too, but we need to know more about how to survive without modern conveniences and thrive.

  There are enough survival sites where it is beaten into your head that in an emergency your neighbor is now your worst enemy. There are enough sites telling you that if you aren’t a retired Army Ranger you are going to die, there are enough sites trying to sell you Acog rifle optics and tacticool accessories for your gun. Of course I am going to try and sell you my books I’m as capitalist as the next guy, but I am not going to try and convince you the world is ending tomorrow and unless you abuse your credit cards you and your family are going to die a slow painful death. This Blog is for Joe & Suzy Every Day and their family. What I want is that 30 days after an event you are able to say. “Well, it wasn’t fun, but we came through just fine”
