When it comes to material about Survival on this blog, I like the more practical, down-to-earth stuff like this, which not surprisingly is getting harder and harder to find as more of the “snake oil” survivalist come out of the woodwork . Trust me when I say this folks: Common sense goes a long way in a lotta things..the problem being in today’s world is Common Sense is Not So Common anymore! Use your head, Stay Practical, Stay Realistic and you will have a better shot than 75% of the people out there, trust me.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

Our survivalism story, in a nutshell<\/h2>\n

Hi! I\u2019m Sheila.<\/p>\n

For the last several years, our family<\/a>, my husband Dan, our son Jesse and I, have been living what some may call the \u201csurvivalist\u201d lifestyle.\u00a0 Actually, we live\u00a0 the off-grid<\/a> (so far off the grid that there is no land line and no cell phone service available), self-sufficient life.\u00a0 We\u2019re not here to get away from the world for a few days while chaos happens and calms down. We don\u2019t think that\u2019s what will happen, anyway.\u00a0 We\u2019re here because we have chosen to separate ourselves from the rat race, the system, and not be swept away in the tide of what we see as society running amok.\u00a0 This is not a temporary lifestyle to us. It\u2019s a wonderfully peaceful, sometimes difficult and always rewarding life. Regardless of what does or doesn\u2019t happen, \u201cout there\u201d, this is how we choose to live.<\/p>\n

We were basically city folk all our lives, but over the past 20-plus years, we formulated, clarified and then realized our vision to make the transformation to our current lifestyle.\u00a0\u00a0 We understand the fear and panic many are now feeling in contemplating\u00a0 making a lifestyle change within a short time because they are observing events around them that require such a drastic move.<\/p>\n

Once we moved to our current location in New Mexico, we chose to lease parts of our land to form a small community<\/a> of like-minded, people (I would rather call it, \u201clike-spirited\u201d) to help each other make it through what we believe\u00a0is coming down the pike soon.\u00a0 In that search for the right people (who we eventually did find) we met many types of self-proclaimed, \u201csurvivalists,\u201d most of whom were in reality, \u201csurvival tourists.\u201d Our son coined this phrase to describe those who only wanted to investigate survivalism just deeply enough to find reasons they couldn\u2019t\/shouldn\u2019t do it. (\u201cPhew, I almost had to wash my dishes by hand<\/em>!\u201d).<\/p>\n
