Summary: TweetI was going to call this show “14 Rules for Being a Modern Survivalist” but I realized that would violate my survival tenet that reads… “Your personal philosophy is more important for you than mine! You are the master of your own life and if you don’t agree with my views, great, define, understand and implement your own. The biggest thing you can do is understand that you are in control of your life and that what you do matters. Those two factors have the greatest impact on individual survival across every demographic you can imagine.” For me that is a deep intrinsic belief not just a tenet of modern survival philosophy. I may come across as fully convinced in my beliefs and passionate about them to the extreme but that doesn’t mean I wish to impose them on any other person. So I decided I would simply let you guys know today about 10 of the “rules” that I follow in my life. Some are very old for me, they have guided me since childhood, others I have gained in recent years on my walk as a modern survivalist… Join Me Today As I Discuss… Ignore politicians, do not however ignore their actions and resulting consequences Truly understand in this order absolute needs, needs, comfort items, luxuries Use anything that works, as long as it is ethical and actually works Solve any problem you see in your head even if you can’t implement the solution Be concerned with the survival of others, not just your own survival Ask what if like a child, answer that question like an adult Be extremely grateful to be alive in this time in history Never violate your personal moral code of ethics Never be led by fear specifically fear of losing something you don’t even have yet Take pride in your phyical abilities but depend on your mental abilities Learn from everything you do, the good, the bad and the failures Never accept that things are simply just the way they are Never feel you have anything coming to you and be grateful for what does Never waste a minute on the past, live in the now and in the tomorrow Resources for today’s show… The Year 1274 Join Our Forum 13Skills.com Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com Survival Gear Bags – (sponsor of the day) Safe Castle Royal – (sponsor of the day) My Permaculture Series on Youtube Bill Wilson’s Introduction to Permaculture Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
