My group is armed with light weapons and can develop and follow simple plans of attack. We take what we want by force of arms.

Definition of “Self-rescue.” Getting yourself out of trouble without having to put other people at risk to rescue you.
If you work or recreate in the outdoors, sooner or later you may find yourself at the fork-in-the-road, having to decide if you should attempt to get yourself out of trouble or wait to be rescued. You should always be prepared to self-rescue and not rely on others to come to your aid. Always remember that when you call for help you are putting other people’s lives on the line!

It’s great that preparedness is receiving media coverage, like here. However, this isn’t anything new, at least for the few that have been self sufficient while the majority slowly turned the power over the someone else. That is, they were slowly convinced by others such as people, corporations, etc. that they will be taken care of in all aspects of life.
People saw we were experiencing good times and suddenly marketers started to sell us wants and desires instead of just basic needs. Instead of thinking logically, we started to think with out emotions and it ended up costing us big, financially. Now we have been suckered into this “American Dream” that we hope to achieve but that dream is slowly sinking away with every bad news that comes out on the news about the economy.
As i have said before, it’s great that we have all this luxury but if disaster hit, can we meet our basic needs? Can we survive on our own without the help of others. When I say others, I am not referring to other people, I am referring to companies, government; any group that has been providing us various services and products. This I think is the greatest danger to everyone, those that cannot take care of themselves when society collapses.
There isn’t much else to say about this, we have heard enough news on the media about the economy in the last 2 or 3 years and we are not heading into a recovery, instead it is a cover up leading us into a major disaster. It will be unfortunate for the many that choose not to change their current lifestyle and take the shackles off.
