The 9 Types Of Survivalists–Which Are You?

[Miker12]

It’s crazy to think that Rottweilers and Poodles are in the same family of animals. Or for that matter, Great Danes and Toy Chihuahuas. They are as different as they come. One is 200 pounds, the other is 2.

In much the same way, have you ever realized how many different breeds of people fall under the “survival” umbrella (this is the smooth transition to topic)? In case you haven’t, there are tons. And each type of “survivalist” is unique in their own weird ways. Recently, I’ve been reminded again, of just how funny it actually is. Walk with me:

1. Food Storage Moms-

2. Apocalyptists-

3. Tactical Hoo-Rahs-

4. Primitive Skills-

5. Camping & Hunting Nuts-

6. Medical Mavens-

7. Right Wing Extremists-

8. Boy Scouts-

9. Doomsday Economists-

A true survivalist incorporates a bit of ALL those 9 subsets.

What exactly did you find funny about being prepared?

"What exactly did you find funny about being prepared?"

Absolutely nothing since I have been doing for the last 25 years of my life. What I do find funny is how some people think that you have to be tactical joe with EVERY contingency covered.

Fuk that! Fitness with low needs (i.e. not smoking, not drinking, no overweight, etc) with ample trade barters and the means to grow / make new trades and the ability to protect it within a defined community. Not much missing there.

Well then you did indeed find it funny to be prepared. Trying to anticipate every contingency, whether you are "Tactical Joe" or not, is a valid part of preparing. MUCH better to work out as many possible scenarios as you can BEFORE the event happens as it will allow you to find holes/weaknesses in your plans. Weaknesses that could end up killing you in a real event.

Oh so "tactical joe" is needed after all then.

Sorry to offend you so much. Thank you for your inconsideration. See you on the other side....

[Steve_In_29]

I'm not offended at all. Simply pointing out the the facts.

Which seems to have hurt your feelings. Hopefully you will handle the stress of a real shtf event with more maturity.


WOW!! Did you really give me a negative reputation point because I didn't agree with your position? I didn't think that was what it was used for but just returned the favor.

Thank you....love the fake internet s***. Life is so much more than you think or portend it to be on this forum or wherever you live. Negative review because I like being your lil' b****. Gimme kisses...
