Jim Rawles, a survivalist author. I'm a former U.S. Army Intelligence officer and technical writer. I now work as a full-time blogger, retreat consultant, and freelance writer. SurvivalBlog is my creation, but because of SurvivalBlog, I'm part of something bigger: a virtual community of some of the most brilliant people that you could ever meet. Despite our differences, we all have an interest in preparedness.

KIGY, That SurvivalBlog.com is a great site! I added it to the links on my website. With the events going on around the world right now, we could be in World War 3 real soon. If that happens all hell will break out in this country! Gas will hit $7-$8 a gallon, the power could go off and STAY off. Everybody should give some thought to this. Thank You for the link.

Kigy,

We are prepping as much as we can, another website that has some good information is When the SHTF:

When SHTF - The Modern Day Survival Forum [whenshtf@gmail.com]

I encourage everyone to prepare as much as possible.

God Bless

My antivirus blocked a Trojan Horse virus as soon as I clicked on that link above. I recommend it be removed and not to click the link as there is a virus on there. KLASP/ITSUB

I have had that happen to me with Stormfront. Also, yesterday I had to remove 120 tracking cookies, and already today close to 100! The only sites I have been on are this one and Stormfront. ?? KLASP

PA KLEAGLE.

I just logged in without incident, My norton detected no issues. Please try again.

I follow Pale_Rider in the belief that the future is uncertain at best and we need to make our own footsteps in the sand and off the beaten path. Last January, I bought 100 acres off the grid in the middle of nowhere, all bush, many, many miles from anyone, and dropped stakes. Like him, I am ex-military, 5th-SF Nam, and on a healing road. I have a well, fresh water, hunt, trap, fish and grow my food now, have half diesel generator/solar, my TV, phone, Internet are all wireless. I could hunt duck, bear or deer with an LAW and none would hear me. There is much danger coming and it is from both within and without the structure of life. Any time, an EMP could go off and the cars, computers, and all things electrical will stop forever. In 3 weeks, there would be cannibalism because there is no food coming into the city and it will die. People will kill for food, and according to my sources, it could happen anytime because the technology to build an EMP has been out since the 50's and it is just a matter of time before some terrorist cel sets one off. My sources are high, international,and dependable, and have let me know this is a real situation.The world as you know it will end. Tis why I returned to the land so I may hunt, grow food, and heat with wood, heal. This future would have no effect on me and I would be too far in the forest for anyone to walk to and bother.....so I may live in peace....I hope to create a sanctuary if this comes to pass. I shall be passing on the warrior arts to survival. Everything I know will now have purpose, and my goal is to help as many good people as I can, and at the same time, create a community of safety. The covered wagon will return and caravans will be created for trade and all will be a simpler time, but many wolves to put down, and that is my skill. Perhaps there is a Gypsy wagon in thy future...:)
