Top 8 Deadly Myths About Survivalism

Twin On Tour Posted on September 6, 2020 by kayleneMarch 14, 2023

For the last several years, our family has been living what some may call the “survivalist” lifestyle. Actually, we live the off-grid (so far off the grid that there is no landline and no cell phone service available), self-sufficient life. We’re not here to get away from the world for a few days while chaos happens and calms down – we don’t think that’s the way it will go, anyway.

Useful Books on Survivalism

Twin On Tour Posted on August 20, 2020 by clarkMarch 14, 2023

It should be noted that most books on survivalism are written for entertainment purposes. Those that are not written for entertainment tend to focus on short term survival.  There are also very few experts when it comes to survivalism.  Yes, there are those few people that have spent time living in the wilderness, and there are a few exceptional accounts from people who have spent years surviving on their own in war zones, but most of these accounts have little relationship to what Americans would face if something dire should happen here.  Remember, real survival situations tend to be few … Continue reading →
